In order to meet the different needs of customers in the context of a cost-conscious performance model, Cisema customers have the option between three service levels. The higher the service level, the more favourable is the actual daily rate. Additionally, we also offer “breathing solutions“ where customers can purchase services in a flexible manner, according to their requirements, at the valid daily rates. Additional costs, such as travel expenses, will be borne by the customer. However, these will be minimal due to the low price level in China.
Our services includes the complete range of sourcing and quality assurance services. Both simple control tasks and supplier searches as well as more complex projects are possible.
