Outsourcing

Business Outsourcing Made Easy for Any Industry

At Advican we are experts in the procurement of offshore outsourcing capabilities. We have been leading the way in outsourcing and over the years have developed an extensive global network of offshore providers in various industries.

Before we begin, we want to profess our love of America and our desire to see USA manufacturers flourish. However we are also smart entrepreneurs and need to deliver the lowest cost while maintaining superb quality for our clients. As a result we have explored other supply chain opportunities within the global economy. We have been pros at taking advantage of low cost outsourcing for over 20 years.

We know all the trends in outsourcing and what nations provide the best services in various industries. When people think about outsourcing they tend to think of China for manufacturing and India for IT. Now those countries are very good at what they do but there are countless other nations that offer a wide range of services at competitive rates.

Our offshore providers are trusted partners that deliver superior quality services or products at the lowest cost possible. Most times you will see savings up to 70% compared to local suppliers in the USA.

In the past many entrepreneurs have been hesitant in working offshore due to different cultures, time zones and not being able to physically being present at the job site. Sites like Alibaba have definitely streamlined the process of working in China. But even with Alibaba you are still on your own to figure out which supplier matches all your needs. It can be quite overwhelming.

There is no need to start from scratch. Leverage our global network and our local expertise in markets that best serve your industry. We also provide our leading quality control specialists in these local offshore markets so our clients can securely manage their global supply chain.

Our clients are able to leverage external expertise to expand their network of suppliers without the need to invest the time, money and resources to do it yourself.

Let us save you the headaches of finding the right global supplier. Our offshore suppliers have been thoroughly vetted over the years and are well equipped to serve you.
