STRATEGIC GUIDANCE
Sourcing Consulting
We help European and US businesses source the right products from Asia — with the right suppliers, at the right price, with the right documentation.
What We Can Help With
Whether you're sourcing for the first time or optimising an existing supply chain, we tailor our support to your specific situation.
Supplier Identification & Vetting
We research and shortlist suppliers that match your product specifications, verify their credentials, and give you an honest assessment of each option — including trade history, certifications, and our on-the-ground impression.
- •Supplier research across Alibaba, 1688, and direct factory networks
- •Credential and certification verification (CE, GMP, FDA, etc.)
- •Structured comparison report for your review
Pricing & Negotiation Support
We handle supplier negotiations in Chinese, pushing for competitive pricing while maintaining the relationship. We also advise on MOQ, payment terms, and when to accept — or walk away from — a supplier's offer.
- •Multi-supplier RFQ coordination
- •Price benchmarking and negotiation
- •Advice on MOQ, lead times, and payment terms
Compliance & Documentation Guidance
Importing into Europe or the US comes with regulatory and documentation requirements that vary by product category. We help you understand what's needed — from CE certification and MSDS to health certificates and customs documentation.
- •Product compliance requirements by destination market
- •Export documentation coordination (health certs, MSDS, COA, etc.)
- •Customs and import duty guidance (DDP vs. DAP vs. EXW)
Logistics & Shipping Coordination
We coordinate freight from factory to your door — sea or air, DDP or otherwise. We work with trusted freight forwarding partners and keep you updated at every stage of the shipment.
- •Sea and air freight options and cost comparisons
- •DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) coordination
- •Shipment tracking and proactive updates
Quality Control
We arrange pre-shipment inspections through trusted third-party QC partners, or coordinate our own on-the-ground checks. We flag issues before goods leave the factory — not after they arrive at your warehouse.
- •Pre-shipment inspection coordination
- •Third-party QC partner management
- •Issue reporting and supplier follow-up
Ongoing Order Management
For clients with recurring orders, we act as your on-the-ground procurement team — managing POs, chasing production schedules, coordinating shipments, and keeping you informed without you having to chase us.
- •Purchase order management
- •Production timeline follow-up
- •Regular status updates to the client
Our Consulting Process
How a typical project works — from your first enquiry to final delivery
Discovery
You tell us what you need — product type, quantity, target price, destination market, and any compliance requirements. The more detail you give us, the better.
Supplier Research
We identify and vet suppliers that match your specifications, checking credentials, certifications, and trade history. We shortlist the best options and prepare a structured comparison for your review.
Quotation & Negotiation
We send RFQs to shortlisted suppliers, negotiate pricing and terms in Chinese, and present you with a clear comparison. We advise on which supplier to move forward with and why.
Sampling & Confirmation
We coordinate sample orders, arrange delivery to you or to our team for review, and manage any follow-up spec changes before you commit to a full order.
Production & QC
Once you place the order, we follow up on production timelines and arrange pre-shipment quality inspections. We flag any issues and work with the supplier to resolve them before goods are shipped.
Logistics & Delivery
We coordinate freight, handle export documentation, and keep you updated throughout transit until goods are delivered to your door or warehouse.
