DocShipper Group – A Modern Sourcing Solution Provider

Gone are the days when a person or organization had to self-arrange and invest heavily in the workforce and other valuable resources to find suitable suppliers. Also, performing quality analysis of provided material and taking care of logistics like transport, packaging, customs clearance, and other tasks slowed down the business process. If any organization still follows such old ways, then it is wasting its most important resource, time.

Time, in any condition, cannot be recovered once it has passed. Today, within a few clicks on your electronic devices, you can arrange all the supplies and logistics services. By hiring modern sourcing services, you can get supplies delivered to your preferred location from any corner of the world in good condition. The DocShipper Group was founded on the principle of saving the resources of organizations by taking care of sourcing, logistics, and distribution solutions all over the world.

The group’s primary focus is to save the clients’ time and give them an upper hand against their competitor. It plans the process of the work in order to provide a personalized experience for the clients. The group was founded in 2018 in Hong Kong. They used their extensive efforts in the logistics industry to identify the drawbacks in the industry and came up with a solution by forming DocShipper Group.

We, at Insights Success, interviewed the Co-foundersNicolas Rahmé (CEO) and Pierre Rahmé (Head of Sourcing), along with their CFO & Partner, Charley Hochet, to understand how their modern sourcing solution is providing a better experience to fulfill clients’ expectations.

Below are the excerpts from the interview:

Please brief our audience about your company, its USPs, and how it is currently

positioned as a reliable firm in the sourcing market.

We focus on our clients’ satisfaction by helping them find the best supplier to have the needed products. We collaborate with our network of reliable suppliers based in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Turkey.

The sourcing process will follow the client’s requirements: budget, product specifications, delay, compliance, standards, etc. Our client will be at the heart of the project and have access to all the information, so there will be no hidden fee.

We aim always to build a long-term partnership with our customers as well as our suppliers’ network. Trust is very important in this industry, that is why we place it in the heart of our process.

Shed some light on your offerings and how they impact the industry and your clients.

The revolution that DocShipper introduced in the supply chain industry is remarkable since DocShipper’s business model is different from all its competitors. The main focus in our model is the client’s satisfaction. In order to ensure this, we established new standards based on technology and 100% customer service devotion.

We arrange your purchases, quality control, compliance, international freight, customs clearance, distribution, etc. In us, you will find the perfect partner to assist you from A to Z!

Share your opinion on how modern technologies have transformed the sourcing industry and what more could be expected in the near future?

Modern technology has completely transformed the sourcing industry. Trade shows were organized to present products until recently, but this is no longer necessary today. Trade shows can be done online so that the sourcing will be simpler.

It will be easier to find the best supplier through these digital trade shows. These fairs also allow for an even easier connection and, therefore, easier sourcing. In the future, we may see more and more virtual trade fairs and consequently greater ease to find a product at the best price.

Considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global economies, what were the challenges faced by your company. How did you pivot from those challenges?

Even before the COVID-19 crisis, our primary focus has always been the assistance of our customers. A client will always choose a company that will always listen to his needs and also one that will be available to assist and guide him and share with him the progress of his project.

We have always had the customer at the center of our business model. We have decided not to be captivated by exclusive contracts that can close doors to us, and therefore, we will not be able to cover the needs of our customers.

What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the

sourcing market?

First, I will explain to them why sourcing is important, the cost structure, profit margins, and competitiveness. Then, I will guide them on the selection of a supplier. It will be necessary to invest a lot of time and effort in searching for a supplier to know him.

Here is what you need to know about a supplier:

-Its year of experience

-Its flexibility in modifying order deadlines

-The width of its range of products/services available

-Negotiable price

-Customer reviews

-Delivery time

-Its after-sales service

-Its financial stability

A supplier could become a business partner one day. It is imperative to know him and to have confidence in him. Therefore, it is also necessary to look at his reputation. Once you have found the supplier, you must agree on a price, a payment method, and a shipping method.

How do you envision scaling your company’s operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond?

DocShipper’s business model is based on constant growth and flexibility. In order to ensure this growth, we will mainly focus on gaining market shares through digital canals. We work on digitizing this industry following the customers’ needs as well as the suppliers/ freight forwarders.

The Prime Movers

Two brothers in the sourcing and logistics sector identified an issue in the industry: it relied on ancient techniques to ship and buy items throughout the world. It was a “who you knew” business that was trying to keep up with the need for quick and efficient international trading in a globalized environment.

Enter DocShipper, a startup that aims to reinvent international logistics and procurement for SMEs, enterprises, and people. Nicolas and Pierre Rahmé, the company’s founders, being present in the field of logistics for years, wanted to shake up a sector that is trapped in the pre-digital age.

They both experienced many challenges during their work in the field of logistics. They decided to give birth to a new vision of this domain. Therefore, they have integrated new technology to make international business connections easier. DocShipper, based in Hong Kong, currently has operations in 40 countries, providing expertise in Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, and Europe.

Clients Endorsements:

DocShipper has always put the customer at the center of its services. Our aim is to keep our customers happy, but more than that, our aim is to make DocShipper part of their logistics journey.
