Three services across both sides of the supply chain.
We work both directions of the China supply chain, for brands sourcing from China, for Chinese factories and brands expanding outward, and for brands needing expert guidance into Chinese supplier networks. Three services. One team.
Supplier coordination in China
For international brands sourcing from China. We identify, visit, and coordinate manufacturers across toys, F&B, electronics, kitchen appliances, furniture, clothing, homeware and more - then negotiate the pricing, MOQ, and terms that decide whether your unit cost survives.
What's included
- Product brief and target definition
- Factory shortlisting across Greater China
- On-site factory visits and audits
- Capability, capacity, and compliance vetting
- Sample management and side-by-side comparison
- Pricing, MOQ, and payment-term negotiation
- Production timeline and milestone management
- Issue escalation and resolution
What you get
- A vetted shortlist with our honest take on each
- Negotiated terms that protect you, not just the factory
- A single point of accountability on the ground
- A supplier relationship that holds up under pressure
Market expansion: China to the world
For Chinese factories and brands ready to step beyond OEM. We help manufacturers and brands enter Indonesia, Singapore, the US, and Europe. We work through whatever channels fit each market, so you own the customer relationship, not just the production.
What's included
- Market entry strategy and pricing positioning per region
- Channel selection per market (own e-commerce, marketplaces, retail, distribution)
- Brand positioning and consumer-facing localisation
- Local partner introductions and vetting
- On-the-ground market visits and operational support
- Operational setup (fulfilment, customer support, logistics)
What you get
- A defined path from OEM manufacturer to consumer brand
- A live operation in markets you've validated
- Honest reads on which markets will pay back and which won't
- An ongoing in-market team on retainer
Brand advisory: world to China
For brands from Korea, Japan, the US, and Indonesia navigating Chinese supplier networks. We bring warm introductions, vetted partners, and translation across language, culture, and commercial norms, so the relationship that drives your supply chain actually holds up.
What's included
- Network access to vetted Chinese suppliers across categories
- Cultural and commercial translation between your team and Chinese partners
- Risk flagging on cost, capability, and counterparty
- Sample review and on-the-ground verification
- Negotiation support and contract review
- Ongoing relationship management as needed
What you get
- Warm introductions to factories we'd put our name behind
- A trusted translator across language and commercial nuance
- Early warning on supplier risk you wouldn't catch alone
- A relationship that gets stronger over time
Project or retainer.
We work either as a fixed-scope project with clear deliverables, or as an ongoing retainer when you need someone on the ground continuously.
Discovery call
We listen first. Your situation, your goals, your timeline. If we can't add value, we say so. No pitch deck.
Scope and fee
A short written proposal with clear deliverables, timelines, and a fixed fee or transparent day rate. No surprises.
Execution on the ground
Factory visits, market entry meetings, supplier negotiation, brand introductions - whatever the scope calls for, done in person.
Handover or ongoing
Detailed handover so your team can run with it, or we stay on as a retainer for ongoing operations.
