Many companies in the light electric vehicle industry are small, just starting, or simply lightly capitalized. They often do not know what services they will need and what issues they will face. Getting the attention of suppliers can be a struggle, as well as trying to cover all the requirements of a complex business on a limited budget. Nicknamed “Small Potatoes” by many in the Asian supply chain, such companies are best served by a very flexible service package. Our Small Potato packages are as follows:
