Our Services

Our project management specialists are committed to understanding your specific production goals and needs in order to deliver tailored manufacturing solutions.

Product Design/ Prototyping Support

With over 20 years of experience developing a diverse array of projects, GPS understands how to engineer and design products that can be produced at the lowest cost.  Partnering with GPS streamlines the development process from ideation to a finished product ready for production.  We can help you get cost effective new products to market faster by eliminating the wasted time caused by the knowledge gap between design/engineering and manufacturing.  The goal is to design for manufacturing upfront vs. using a longer iterative process to determine solutions.  Our streamlined services simplify the manufacturing process, reduce costs, get products to market faster, and improve quality control.

Our product design/prototyping support services include, but are not limited to:

  • Feasibility Consulting

  • Design for Manufacturing Consulting

  • Prototyping

Quality Assurance

We ensure that your product meets quality expectations and required specifications via detailed inspection criteria that must be met.  We train our own staff and the fabricator so that each party clearly knows what must be achieved to get acceptable products.  Our team is on site consistently during production.  We want to catch potential QC issues as early in the process as possible vs. only at a final inspection.  We always perform QC checks from finished production before a shipment is made.

Many times we source components and QC them ourselves before supplying them into the final assembly process in order to ensure compliance and on-time shipments.  We have some projects that include more than 50 different component items that we have sourced and supplied. 

Lab and compliance testing is performed as required according to the QC plan.

Inspection reports are created for each product SKU / Shipment.

Logistics Management

GPS understands that the finished product must arrive at the appointed time to meet the client’s expectations.  We have both domestic and offshore logistics partners who provide efficient logistics solutions via air freight, full container, and LCL alternatives.  Sometimes we can combine client shipments together to help reduce costs.  As the time for shipment gets near, we will discuss with our clients the various alternatives to safely deliver the product in a cost-effective manner.

We can execute container packing simulations to ensure that the most efficient loading plan is used. Our QC team reviews loading plans to ensure appropriate carton orientation to prevent damage. 

We provide a Commercial Invoice and Packing List to advise on the items shipped, carton dimensions and weights, carton packing, carton counts, and prices. 

We advise the estimated arrival dates to client destinations as the shipment leaves the point of origin and provide ongoing shipment updates as required for each client. 

 Each shipment is completely insured from the time it departs from the factory until it arrives to the client’s designated destination.
