Integrated Execution Partnership
Your single accountable partner from Korean supplier discovery
to final U.S. delivery.
Overview
Managing Korean suppliers from overseas often means dealing with multiple intermediaries, including agents, forwarders, inspection firms, and warehouses, each handling only a small part of the process.
This fragmentation creates blind spots, delays, and unexpected costs. GI acts exclusively on behalf of the U.S. client as a single accountable partner, integrating supplier coordination, QA alignment, logistics, warehousing, and post-delivery support into one continuous execution chain.
Instead of coordinating five different vendors, you work with one partner that understands both Korea and the United States.
