Question

You have just been hired as a consultant by an eCommerce Chocolate Company to help find a third party vendor to complete a vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. Research 2-3 vendors and discuss the services they perform and estimated costs of those services

Answer 1

If you want your product to have a good market value and customers prefer your products over others then there are certain services that are required to perform by the various vendors is that if you want them to sell your product then they have to order it in bulk and that bulk products will be kept somewhere in Warehouses. Vendor can't kept whole quantity on his shop so cost of warehouse is something which will be counted. Moreover if the vendors orders the product in bulk then the transportation cost will also be counted because the product will be transferred from the manufacturing company to the warehouse of the vendors. The cost of packaging can also be there if the product is ordered in bulk and if it requires packing then it will be a duty of vendors to pack it and give it to the customers. These all things matter if you want to sell your product on a large scale. Customer will like it or not is a different matter but these all costs are included in selling of a product by various vendors around the world.
