It is a mistake to assume that buying direct from the manufacturer or a given
distributor will always yield the lowest possible price for a product. It is no
secret that deals between manufacturers and dealers/distributors are happening
all the time. A distributor can negotiate a bulk buy with a deep discount on a
specific product. Until that product is sold out, that distributor will have the
lowest priced sourcing option. It is also possible that a buy-all arrangement
for special inventory such as refurbished and close-out items can be negotiated
by a distributor. Without knowledge of who has what, saving opportunities for
these type of inventories may not be taken advantage of.
GetFeetWet Navigation, Inc
gets product feeds from all its major sourcing options which represents 95% of
inventory available in the market. These product feeds are processed into the
GetFeetWet Navigation, Inc catalog which can then be scanned when researching
for product pricing or solution alternatives.
GetFeetWet Navigation, Inc knows what
and where the inventory is.
How can GetFeetWet provide best value and access to inventory for my projects or
requirements
GetFeetWet Navigation, Inc leverages its
buying power to negotiate the best possible terms from all sourcing options
(e.g. manufacturers, distributors, importers, etc). GetFeetWet Navigation, Inc
utilizes a complex data processing system that parses all product information
feed from all sourcing options and build a consolidated product database from
which quotes or solutions can be generated. Sourcing options are classified
based on their pricing model, shipping location, quality control, customer
service, etc. The database can be searched to yeild the lowest price option or
when time is of the essence, which option is in a position to gurantee delivery
on a timely basis. With the combined sourcing option in the GetFeetWet database
representing 90% of available inventory at any given time, any client
requirement can be sourced out against the market in almost no time.
Why is the GetFeetWet Navigation approach to product distribution and sourcing
unique.

has on it catalog but rather it can evaluate client requirements and present
solutions from various perspectives including budget, project time line, system
expandability, equipment fault tolerance, redunancy, etc.
