Detailed service coverage
Each service can be commissioned individually or combined into a managed sourcing engagement.
Supplier Sourcing
We identify and shortlist suitable manufacturers against your specifications, target price, quantity, certifications, quality expectations, and production requirements.
Supplier Verification
We assess business identity, documentation, experience, capabilities, and suitability before you proceed. Verification reduces risk but cannot guarantee future performance.
Factory Audit
An on-site review of facilities, production lines, machinery, workforce, quality systems, working environment, and practical production capacity.
Quality Inspection
Agreed checks against approved specifications, samples, packaging requirements, and quality criteria at the appropriate production stage.
OEM/ODM & Production
Coordination of development, samples, branding, packaging, specifications, production communication, schedules, and progress monitoring.
Export Documentation
Support coordinating commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates, customs documents, and shipment paperwork required for the product and destination.
Shipping & Logistics
Freight-option comparison, shipment preparation, logistics-partner coordination, and tracking through the agreed delivery milestone.
A clear four-step process
Product, quantity, destination, target cost, timeline, and current supplier status.
We recommend the appropriate package and define responsibilities and deliverables.
You receive fees, exclusions, timing, and payment milestones before work begins.
We carry out the approved work and provide updates at agreed checkpoints.
Frequently asked questions
Are the percentages applied to shipping and duties?
No. Unless a written quotation states otherwise, managed sourcing percentages apply to the product order value. Freight, insurance, duties, taxes, customs, and destination charges are separate.
Can I purchase only a supplier verification or factory audit?
Yes. Focused services can be commissioned individually. We will quote according to the required verification depth, factory location, and reporting scope.
Does verification guarantee a supplier’s performance?
No independent review can guarantee future performance. Verification and audits are risk-reduction tools that provide evidence for a more informed commercial decision.
When is the final price confirmed?
After reviewing your requirements, we provide a written quotation defining fees, deliverables, exclusions, timeline, and payment milestones. Work begins only after approval.
