However, within the Wal-Mart system, there are several special partners
Intertek
This company is a China branch of ITS Company of the United States, mainly engaged in consumer goods inspection business. There are a large number of Wal-Mart brands, such as Huiyi Mingting, in the Wal-Mart supermarket. The products of these brands are all processed and produced by domestic processing enterprises entrusted by Wal-Mart's own brand department.
China Wal-Mart will inspect these goods 2-4 times a year. The inspection method is that the quality supervision department of Wal-Mart informs Tianxiang Company that Tianxiang Company will go to any store of Wal-Mart to purchase the designated goods for inspection according to the relevant national standards, and at the same time, it will inform the supplier to pay the inspection fee and the purchase fee (it should be noted that the inspection work will be carried out regardless of whether the supplier pays the fee in time, but if the supplier does not pay, Tianxiang Company will ask Wal-Mart to pay, and Wal-Mart will pay from the supplier after paying. After the test is completed, Tianxiang Company will notify the quality supervision department of Wal-Mart and the supplier of the test results in duplicate. In this process, there is absolutely no possibility for the supplier to modify the test results by public relations.
The inspection fee of Tianxiang Company is not very high, but slightly higher than the price of domestic general quality inspection institutions.
Haig Logistics
Haig Logistics Company is a logistics enterprise in Shenzhen, which is engaged in the return business instead of Wal-Mart and the distribution business of Tianjin and Jiaxing DC. Haige Logistics charges are very expensive, especially the return charges are extremely expensive, but the distribution charges of Tianjin and Jiaxing DC are paid by Wal-Mart.
A sign manufacturing company
This company is an American trademark manufacturing company. Theoretically, all the trademarks of Wal-Mart brand goods must be manufactured by this company. However, due to the high price and poor service level of this company, most suppliers manufacture their first trademarks in this company, and others find someone to do them themselves.
As for how to become a supplier of Wal-Mart in China, this issue is relatively complicated.
Wal-Mart's procurement system is divided into central procurement system and regional procurement system. Most of the goods with no shelf life or long shelf life are purchased by the whole country, that is, at Wal-Mart headquarters.
However, it is difficult to enter the central procurement system of Wal-Mart, because Wal-Mart's China headquarters has thousands of suppliers who have cooperated with Wal-Mart for many years. Unless the products of new suppliers have special advantages, most buyers are reluctant to cooperate with new suppliers easily-the price advantage within 1% is not a special advantage.
the regional procurement system is relatively easy to enter.
Finally, we must be careful when cooperating with Wal-Mart (we must be careful when cooperating with any supermarket in China). The suggested way is: find a salesman of an existing supplier, try to reach an agreement with the salesman, and hire the salesman as the salesman of your company, so that your company will not pay tuition in the first year.
At the 27 Wal-Mart Supplier Conference, a company in Fujian won the Best Creative Supplier Award of that year. When the young boss came to the stage to receive the award, he said a big truth: We cooperated with Wal-Mart, and suffered a huge loss in the first year and a small loss in the second year. It seems that we can make a little money this year.
the whole audience laughed!

Question 4: How to become a supplier of Wal-Mart? Its success comes from its customer first concept, advanced computer management technology and cheap and good products. Wal-Mart has always called suppliers "partners" and has strict requirements for suppliers to cooperate closely. In China, Wal-Mart's purchasing headquarters not only purchases for 12 stores in China, but also purchases high-quality products in China for export to Wal-Mart stores in America and Europe. To become a supplier of Wal-Mart, an enterprise must meet the following conditions: 1. The goods it provides must be of good quality and meet the standards and requirements of China and local governments. 2. The commodity price provided must be the lowest price in the market. 3. All enterprise and commodity information must be provided. 4. The first negotiation or new product must bring samples. 5. Copy of VAT invoice with sales record. 6. Can meet the needs of large orders. After receiving the order from Wal-Mart, if there is a shortage of supply, it should be notified immediately. Failure to meet Wal-Mart's orders for three consecutive times will cancel the cooperation relationship with the supplier. 7. The supplier shall provide the following discounts: a. Annual commission: 1.5% of the total sales of goods; b. Warehouse commission: 1.5-3% of the total sales of goods; c. Sponsorship fee for new stores: free sponsorship for the first order when the new store opens; d. Admission fee for new products: free gift for the first order when new products enter the market; 8. The supplier shall not provide any form of gift to the procurement personnel, and will deal with it seriously if found.
Question 5: Who knows the detailed list of Wal-Mart suppliers? Hehe, which brother unit are you from? What's the use of this? I work in the distribution center of Wal-Mart. Hehe, basically all suppliers (except fresh food) have sent them to us. < P > Question 6: The supply chain of Wal-Mart Department Store Co., Ltd. Wal-Mart's business has grown rapidly and become one of the well-known companies because Wal-Mart has made great achievements in cost saving and logistics distribution system and supply chain management. Steve Jobs, president of Apple, once said that if there are only three IT companies left in the world, it must be Microsoft, Intel and Dell. If there are only two, it will be only Dell and Wal-Mart. This is obviously just a joke. Although Wal-Mart is a leader in the retail industry, IT is not an IT enterprise in any case. However, Wal-Mart's persistent pursuit of information technology is obvious to all, and it is precisely because of this that Wal-Mart's low-cost strategy has been tried and tested. Anyone who knows a little about Wal-Mart knows that the low-cost strategy keeps the logistics cost low all the time, which is an ace in the hole for a cheap retailer like Wal-Mart. It is Wal-Mart's consistent business purpose to reduce the cost as much as possible in the process of logistics operation and make the saved cost beneficial to consumers. In the whole logistics process, the most expensive part of Wal-Mart is transportation, so when setting up new stores, Wal-Mart should take its existing distribution center as the starting point as far as possible, and stores are generally located around the distribution center to shorten delivery time and reduce delivery costs. Wal-Mart's investment in logistics is also very concentrated in the construction of logistics distribution centers. 1. Fast and efficient logistics distribution centers Logistics distribution centers are generally set up in the central position of more than 1 retail stores, that is, distribution centers are set up in the main sales market. This enables a distribution center to meet the needs of more than 1 sales outlets in nearby surrounding cities; In addition, the radius of transportation is relatively short and uniform, and a distribution center is basically established with 32 kilometers as a business circle. The order information of Wal-Mart's branches is transmitted to the distribution center through the company's high-speed communication network, and the distribution center formally orders from suppliers after integration. The supplier can send the goods directly to the ordering store or to the distribution center. Some people describe Wal-Mart's distribution center as follows: the average area of these giant buildings exceeds 11, square meters, which is equivalent to the size of 24 football fields; It contains all kinds of goods that people can imagine, from toothpaste to TV sets, from sanitary napkins to toys, with more than 8 thousand kinds of goods. Wal-Mart has more than 62 distribution centers in the United States, serving more than 4, shopping malls. These centers are carefully deployed according to the trade areas of various places. Usually, starting from any center, the car can reach the store it serves within one day. In the distribution center, computers are in charge of everything. After the supplier sends the goods to the distribution center, it goes through the procedures of checking the purchase plan, commodity inspection and so on, and then sends them to different locations on the shelves for storage. When every commodity is stored, the computer will record their position and quantity one by one; Once the store puts forward the plan of purchasing goods, the computer will find out the storage location of these goods and print out the label with the store code for sticking on the goods. The whole package of goods will be sent directly to the conveyor belt, and the scattered goods will also be sent to the conveyor belt after being taken out by the staff. Commodities go in and out on the conveyor belt which is several kilometers long. Barcodes on the conveyor belt can be identified by laser, and sent to the right place. The output of goods on the conveyor belt can reach 2, cases a day. For scattered goods, there are some signal lights on the conveyor belt, including red, yellow and green. Employees can determine the store where the goods should be sent according to the signal lights to pick up these goods and put them in a box to avoid wasting space. 2. Loading platform One end of the distribution center is a loading platform for 13 trucks to load at the same time, and the other end is a unloading platform for 135 trucks to park at the same time. The distribution center operates 24 hours a day, with an average of more than 2 trucks loading and unloading goods every day. Wal-Mart uses a truck as big as possible to transport goods, which may have a container with a length of about 16 meters, which is longer or higher than the container transport truck. This kind of motorcade can often be seen on American highways. Wal-Mart's trucks are all its own, and the drivers are also employees of Wal-Mart. They run on the highways between American States, and every cubic meter in the cars is filled up, which is very helpful to save costs. The company's more than 6, transport trucks are all equipped with satellite positioning systems, and the headquarters can see at a glance the location, cargo and destination of each vehicle. Therefore, at any time, the dispatching center can know where these vehicles are and how far they are from the store, and they can also know where a commodity has been transported and how long it will take to transport it to the store.

question 7: how to contact wal-mart for purchasing? More than 2 cities have opened 342 shopping malls. Therefore, no supplier can refuse the temptation of Wal-Mart contract. However, many powerful and well-known enterprises have repeatedly hit a wall in the face of Wal-Mart, mainly because they don't know much about Wal-Mart's procurement principles and procedures. In the face of Wal-Mart, which is famous for being harsh on suppliers, the negotiations are pointless, and the result is naturally futile. So, how can we become a supplier of Wal-Mart? 1. Who does Wal-Mart deal with? Before dealing with Wal-Mart, the first thing to do is to recognize your identity. This is very important. Enterprises wishing to become Wal-Mart suppliers can basically be divided into two categories: manufacturers and traders. Judging from Wal-Mart's consistent style, he prefers to deal directly with manufacturers, because traders have their own profit requirements, which will inevitably lead to an increase in procurement costs, thus violating its purpose of providing consumers with the lowest price goods. However, Wal-Mart will also extend an olive branch to traders in China, given the underdeveloped logistics industry in China and the limited development of Wal-Mart in China. However, there is a prerequisite for the cooperation between traders and Wal-Mart, that is, the trading company should add its own value to the products instead of adding its cost to the products. It is not feasible to simply do the trade difference. What traders need is to provide value-added services. For manufacturers, it is more necessary to weigh their own strength. Wal-Mart's requirements for suppliers are almost harsh, which is not just a matter of quality. Wal-Mart's inspection of suppliers is very comprehensive: Do enterprises buy old-age insurance for their employees? Are fire-fighting facilities complete? Does the worker have a drinking water place? What's the environment like in the canteen? Is the toilet clean? Wait a minute. These factors may be the reasons why Wal-Mart refuses to purchase, and some of them are obviously beyond the tolerance of ordinary small enterprises in China at present. In fact, up to now, Wal-Mart's purchases in China are still mostly made by Hong Kong-funded enterprises and joint ventures. Therefore, if the enterprise is too small and its management ability is not enough, it should not join in the fun and waste time and energy. In addition, a special group appeared at Wal-Mart's procurement meeting, that is, local staff, who hoped to obtain orders for the enterprises under their jurisdiction with the reputation of * * *. This approach simply won't work for Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart believes that the emergence of the * * * department will only make the procurement inefficient and even distort the information, and generally will not deal with it. Second, what kind of goods does Wal-Mart need? To understand what kind of goods Wal-Mart needs, we must first understand the differences between Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza and Sam member stores in purchasing mode and customer base, which is beneficial for suppliers to be targeted according to Wal-Mart's needs. Wal-Mart Shopping Plaza focuses on providing "one-stop shopping" for the general public: bread cooked food, fresh fruits and vegetables, frozen food, tobacco and alcohol gifts, clothing and accessories, beauty cosmetics, books and stationery are all mass goods with high quality and low price. Wal-Mart has four inspection criteria for goods, that is, whether the supplier's products will improve the quality of Wal-Mart, improve the price of Wal-Mart, increase the value of Wal-Mart and enrich the types of Wal-Mart. In addition, how to package products is also a very important issue for successful suppliers. There is also a situation that Wal-Mart likes most, that is, the goods specially produced for Wal-Mart, including the supplier's own brand name, are only sold and labeled at Wal-Mart. At present, the self-owned brands in Wal-Mart stores account for 2% ~ 25% of the total goods. Suppliers can cater to Wal-Mart's needs according to their own actual situation, thus winning a large-scale supply contract. Many powerful suppliers find that although their products are well-known in China, Wal-Mart is totally uninterested. The main reason for this situation is the lack of research on products demanded by foreign markets. In addition to domestic sales, more products of transnational procurement may be oriented to foreign markets. However, due to the lack of research on the demand for foreign goods by suppliers, although they have made great efforts, they often return empty-handed due to lack of pertinence.
