Risk, time and money
“Wouldn’t it be better if I just went direct to the manufacturer?” The simple answer is NO.
​
Unless you have a dedicated team (particularly in China) with experience in sourcing, quality control, logistics, communication, co-ordinating new products with suppliers in China is never as straightforward as it might appear.
Quality
We guarantee quality assurance and take full responsibility for our products and service, samples of all products are provided for your final sign off.
​
Products are fully tested and inspected before they leave the factory.
Finding the right factory
Many trading companies pose as factories, which means that you are dealing with an intermediary. Consistency between shipments is not guaranteed and you run the risk that your deposit may not actually result in a final product.
We ensure that the partner is not only viable, but confirm who and where they are, what they specialise in and if they meet our high standards.
With several locations, you are working with someone in the same time zone. This means faster response time and ease of communications.
​
Through regular in-person visiting from our team in China and international team (when possible), we research the factories, meet the owners, and build relationships with the team on the ground.
The small details
We think of all the little things that might get missed, such as negotiating short and long-term agreements, flexible minimums and communicating the specifics to deliver the right product.
​
We ensure the final product suits the culture and usability of the final market, including regional compliance and standards. Technical specifications, testing and sampling are also part of this service.
A new perspective
With extensive know-how, we can often spot an opportunity to improve your product, customer or business processes. We can develop products that meet your exact specifications or provide solutions you may not have even considered.
Timelines
We ensure realistic timelines to meet delivery requirements.
