EDIasia Distributes and Supports the VCF Clearinghouse in Asia
EDIasia is very pleased to be working with the Vendor Compliance Federation (VCF) to make their Clearinghouse available to Asian Exporters so as to help them with their compliance and marketing efforts.
Knowing that the US Economy is slowing down there is an ongoing concern as how Asian Exporters can keep themselves afloat by making sure they do not lose current business and by getting new business.
At the same time there is a need to reduce the ever increasing Chargebacks that are being imposed by Buyers due to packing or other compliance issues.
EDIasia is the Asian representative of the VCF (Vendor Compliance Federation) which brings together retailers and vendors so as to try to meet and beat these problems.
In particular, the VCF provides a Clearinghouse of information from many major buyers that details all the published requirements of these buyers.
As you know these requirements are continually changing and monitoring the multitude of websites and E-Mails is a time consuming and error strewn task.
To make life easier for Exporter’s task the VCF has a dedicated team devoted to continually tracking changes made by the US retailers to their requirements.
This covers a multitude of areas including:
Corporate Policies
Raw Materials
Manufacturing/Product Development
Quality Assurance/Audits

Customs Compliance

We know how important it is to get the goods and the shipment exactly how a customer needs it - not just the product quality but very importantly how they are packed, the carton markings, documentation etc etc
To be able to stay on top of all these changes is difficult and time consuming, but by making use of the VCF Clearinghouse Alert services changes to information come through to registered users quickly and in a consolidated form avoiding any need to search through pages of data.
We know that traditionally an Exporter’s Merchandisers may get the information from the Retailer's regional office or local Agent but how often does this arrive late causing the need for last minute changes or shipment delays? Or even Chargebacks ?.
Receiving changes in this way also relies on Merchandisers distributing it and, as we expect you will agree, distributing information is not the most productive work that Merchandizers can do. It quickly eats up valuable time that Merchandisers could be using for more relevant tasks.
Therefore, using the VCF Clearinghouse can save Merchandisers’ valuable time and can make the Exporter’s whole Company more efficient.
But that is not all -
Gaining new business is always a priority for Asian Exporters.
In the Master Source database, which is instantly available to all VCF Clearinghouse users, there are up-to-date contact and management information across all business areas for over 300 Retailers giving added marketing and sales opportunities.
In short the VCF Clearinghouse can save you money (dramatically reducing Chargebacks), can make you more efficient (saving time of key Merchandising staff) and can increase your business (by providing up-to-date contact information at potential new Buyers).
