Six ways innovation can grow your export business

The key is thinking innovatively about the way your business operates.

When we think of innovation, we often tend to imagine ground-breaking new inventions. Thr most innovations are an evolution, rather than a revolution. A change to your processes, delivery model or even your marketing can be just as effective as a new product in creating a lasting competitive advantage, increasing margins and helping you unlock profitable new markets. Here are six different ways SUPPLİER PARTNERS are driving growth through innovation.

How does Drag, Drop, Source! work?

We have helped manufacturers to find suppliers for over 320 MILLION components. "We really like the easy to use Drag, Drop, Source facility. Via this, we have sourced two new suppliers who called us and quoted directly. They provided us with high-quality end products and we now have long-standing relationships with both suppliers. Try it, it costs absolutely nothing." - Senior Buyer, Krohne
