Our key focus is to ensure that the sourcing process, manufacturing, and delivery of the goods is as efficient as possible. All this with the right price, quality and lead time.
The first step is to get an overview of your requirements and expectations. What do you want to produce and what quantity? How will the product be used? What is the expected standard and quality? What previous issues have you faced?
The drawings will be analyzed in detail by our production experts to find potential problem areas and suggestions for improvements and modifications. The primary objective is to decrease costs, improve quality and production efficiency.
We create a detailed specification of your requirements and send this out to multiple suppliers. We then review bids and responses to ensure reasonable pricing for raw material and expected processes. We then select the best option based on a mix of price, performance, quality and our experience of the suppliers.
You receive a quote where we will also discuss potential issues and risks. We will explain dimension deviations, finish limitations/implications, domestic material equivalent alternatives, etc
When you have accepted the quote we do a detailed factory audit to ensure safety and quality. We review; Attitude, Size (number of staff, revenue), Specific machines (upkeep and quantity), Current product market, Environment, Safety of workers, Social responsibility, Proper lighting/working conditions, Safety signs, Documentation, Process control and Management Structure.
Once the factory is approved we do a sample production. We review key points with supplier such as appearance, critical dimensions, critical areas and performance. We inspect the sample, confirm process/material is the same as expected on mass production and we will then send you the sample and a detailed report.
Before production starts we repeat review process with the supplier and emphasize and ensure improvements made during sampling are implemented. Production begins, and we do in-process inspections such as; Process flow lead-times, Raw Material acquisition, and Process stages/steps. Once production is finished, we do additional inspections such as; Packaging/Secure transit, Critical dimensions/specifications and Shipping Marks.
We will communicate with freight forwarder to arrange pickup and delivery. We will manage customs documentation including HS Codes/Tariffs and certificates. As soon as the pickup is done we monitor tracking information, customs clearance and schedule delivery to your desired location.

Jeff Crawshaw
"I review your drawings together with the local team. I then speak to manufacturers and ensure they can manufacture to the right price and deliver in time. Many times I help customers improve their drawings to lower the cost and production time."
Bruce Zheng
