How We Work

Every engagement follows a structured methodology — from brief to delivery. Transparent at every stage, adaptable to your category, and accountable for outcomes.

01

Brief & Scope

We start by understanding your product, volumes, quality standards, and commercial targets — building a clear sourcing brief before any supplier contact.

02

Supplier Search

We identify and vet manufacturers from our network and via active market research — validating capability, certifications, and export experience before presenting a shortlist.

03

Sampling & Negotiation

We manage sampling, technical feedback, and commercial negotiation with shortlisted factories — securing the best terms while protecting quality and lead-time commitments.

04

Production & Delivery

We oversee production milestones, apply quality checkpoints, and manage logistics from factory gate to your destination — keeping you updated throughout.

Manufacturing & Procurement

Manufacturing & Procurement

We combine strategic procurement with precision manufacturing to deliver a complete supply chain solution — from initial supplier identification to finished goods at your warehouse. Our approach is not transactional: we embed ourselves in your supply chain, managing supplier relationships, production quality, and commercial terms as an extension of your own team.

Across China and Vietnam, our vetted factory network covers every major product category — with the on-the-ground access needed to qualify new suppliers fast and maintain consistent performance across existing ones.

What This Service Covers

  • Supplier Identification & Shortlisting: We identify manufacturers matching your product specification, MOQ, quality tier, and export experience — presenting a structured shortlist with factory profiles before any commitment.
  • Factory Qualification: We conduct capability audits, capacity checks, and financial stability reviews on new suppliers before they enter your supply base.
  • Sampling & Development: We manage the full sampling process from initial prototype to pre-production approval — coordinating technical feedback and revisions directly with the factory.
  • Commercial Negotiation: We negotiate pricing, payment terms, tooling costs, and lead times on your behalf — using our market knowledge and volume relationships to secure competitive terms.
  • Production Oversight: We monitor production milestones, chase critical path activities, and escalate issues early — reducing the risk of shipment delays and late surprises.
  • Order Management: We manage PO issuance, factory communication, and documentation from order placement through to goods dispatch.

Buying Office

For businesses with consistent sourcing volume and a clear Asia strategy, we establish a dedicated buying office structure on the ground — without the fixed overhead of building your own local entity. You get a team that operates as an embedded extension of your procurement function, with full market access and local execution capability.

Unlike a transactional sourcing agent, a buying office model is structured around your business: your categories, your suppliers, your reporting lines. We build the infrastructure; you retain the strategy.

What This Service Covers

  • Dedicated Team Structure: A sourcing team aligned exclusively to your categories — covering supplier management, quality oversight, and production coordination.
  • Category Strategy Execution: We implement your category roadmap on the ground — translating buyer requirements into supplier briefs, specifications, and programmes.
  • Supplier Relationship Management: We own the day-to-day supplier relationship — maintaining performance standards, resolving disputes, and developing long-term supply partnerships.
  • Compliance & Sustainability Oversight: We support your ESG and compliance objectives through supplier audits, documentation control, and corrective action programmes.
  • Scalable Operating Model: Adjust team size and scope as your sourcing volume grows or your category mix changes — without the fixed costs of a local entity.
  • Reporting & Transparency: Regular performance reporting on supplier KPIs, cost benchmarking, quality trends, and sourcing pipeline — aligned to your internal processes.

Best Suited For

  • Businesses sourcing consistently across multiple categories in Asia
  • Retailers and brands with in-house buying teams seeking on-the-ground execution
  • Companies exploring Asia sourcing for the first time who need a structured entry point
  • Organisations replacing or supplementing an existing liaison office model

Trade Fair Support and Interpretation

Trade Fair Support & Interpretation

Asia's major trade fairs — Canton Fair, Hong Kong Electronics Fair, Texworld, CIIE — are among the world's most important sourcing events. They are also large, fast-moving, and difficult to navigate without language skills and market knowledge. We provide structured on-site support to maximise the commercial value of your attendance.

Our team prepares your visit in advance — shortlisting relevant exhibitors, mapping your meeting schedule across pavilions, and briefing you on market pricing context before you land. On the day, we provide real-time interpretation and commercial support throughout every meeting.

What This Service Covers

  • Pre-Fair Exhibitor Research: We shortlist relevant suppliers from the exhibitor list based on your product requirements, quality tier, and MOQ targets — so your meeting schedule is planned before you arrive.
  • On-Site Fair Navigation: We guide you through the fair layout, prioritise halls and pavilions relevant to your categories, and ensure you cover the right ground efficiently.
  • Supplier Meetings & Introductions: We facilitate introductions and first meetings with targeted exhibitors — handling communication and setting the right commercial tone from the outset.
  • Live Negotiation Support: We provide practical support during pricing and commercial discussions — ensuring accurate interpretation and helping you negotiate from an informed position.
  • Trilingual Interpretation: Full Italian, Chinese, and English interpretation delivered by native-speaking team members throughout the event.
  • Post-Fair Follow-Up: We document supplier contacts made, samples requested, and agreed next steps — and manage initial follow-up communications with shortlisted factories after the fair.

Quality Control

Quality failures in Asian supply chains are rarely the result of one event — they accumulate from weak supplier qualification, inconsistent in-process monitoring, and insufficient pre-shipment verification. We address all three layers through structured quality programmes that run upstream, during production, and before goods leave the factory.

Our quality team operates on the ground across China and Vietnam, providing inspection coverage that protects your supply chain without requiring you to be there yourself.

Our Quality Framework

  • Supplier Audit: We conduct factory audits covering management systems, production capability, workforce standards, and social compliance — providing a detailed audit report with corrective action recommendations.
  • During Production Inspection (DUPRO): We inspect production while it is still on the line — identifying defects and deviations early enough to correct them before the full order is affected.
  • Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): We conduct a final inspection against your approved sample and specification before goods are packed and shipped — reporting pass/fail with photographic evidence.
  • Loading Supervision: We supervise container loading to verify correct quantities, packaging condition, and load security before the container is sealed.
  • Lab Testing Coordination: We coordinate third-party lab testing for product safety, material compliance, and certification requirements — including CE, RoHS, REACH, and textile standards.
  • Corrective Action Management: We manage the corrective action process when defects or non-conformances are identified — working directly with the factory to resolve issues and verify outcomes.

Ongoing Quality Programmes

For clients with consistent sourcing volume, we design rolling quality programmes with fixed inspection frequencies, documented control plans, and quarterly performance reviews — giving you systematic visibility into your supplier base rather than one-off event coverage.

Dropshipping

Dropshipping

Selling internationally through digital channels requires a supply chain built around the demands of e-commerce — short lead times, flexible order quantities, accurate inventory data, and reliable fulfilment. We connect your Asian supply base to your digital sales channels, eliminating the friction between production and customer delivery.

Whether you are managing a multi-platform DTC operation or fulfilling B2B orders through an online marketplace, we build the operational infrastructure that keeps your inventory, orders, and logistics in sync.

What This Service Covers

  • Supply Chain–Sales Channel Integration: We connect your sourcing and replenishment cycles to your platform inventory — ensuring stock availability aligns with demand forecasts and sales velocity.
  • Inventory Management: We manage stock positioning and replenishment planning to reduce overstock and out-of-stock risk across your sales channels.
  • Order Fulfilment Coordination: We coordinate pick, pack, and despatch operations from warehouse to customer — managing third-party logistics providers and fulfilment centres on your behalf.
  • Platform Logistics Compliance: We structure shipments and documentation to meet the inbound requirements of major platforms, including Amazon FBA, B2B portals, and marketplace fulfilment programmes.
  • Returns & Reverse Logistics: We support the operational side of returns processing — coordinating with logistics partners to manage product flow back through the supply chain efficiently.

Customs & Logistics

Cross-border logistics from Asia involves more than booking a freight forwarder. Accurate HS code classification, origin documentation, import duty management, and compliance with destination-country import requirements all carry commercial and legal risk if handled incorrectly.

We manage the full logistics chain under DAP (Delivered at Place) terms — taking responsibility from factory gate to your destination, handling all documentation, customs formalities, and carrier coordination along the way.

What This Service Covers

  • Export Documentation: We prepare and manage all export documentation from origin — commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and product compliance certificates.
  • HS Code Classification: We ensure accurate tariff classification of your goods to avoid reclassification risk and unexpected duty exposure at destination.
  • Freight Management: We coordinate ocean, air, and express freight from China and Vietnam — selecting carriers and routings based on your cost, speed, and reliability priorities.
  • Import Clearance: We manage import clearance at destination in coordination with licensed customs brokers — ensuring goods are released promptly and compliantly.
  • Duty Optimisation: We advise on applicable duty rates, free trade agreement benefits, and tariff engineering opportunities to reduce your total landed cost.
  • Dangerous Goods & Compliance: We manage IMDG/IATA classification and documentation for regulated goods — including batteries, chemicals, and restricted products — ensuring carrier and customs compliance.

Incoterms & Delivery Scope

We operate primarily under DAP terms (Delivered at Place) — taking full logistics responsibility from factory to your nominated destination. We also support EXW, FOB, and CIF arrangements where required by your commercial terms.

Why Work With Us

What separates a good sourcing result from a poor one is rarely the supplier — it's the management layer between you and the factory. Here is what we bring to that layer.

On-the-Ground Presence

We have a team physically present in China and Vietnam — not coordinating remotely. That means faster response times, real factory visits, and problems caught before they become shipment failures.

Trilingual Capability

We operate fluently in English, Italian, and Mandarin Chinese — eliminating the communication gap between European buyers and Asian factories that causes the majority of specification and quality errors.

Integrated, Not Fragmented

Sourcing, quality, logistics, and e-commerce fulfilment under one roof. No handoffs between separate agencies, no accountability gaps — one partner responsible for the full outcome.

Sector Expertise

Our team has category-specific experience across fashion, technology, and industrial sectors — understanding the compliance requirements, supplier landscape, and quality risks unique to each.

Structured Process

Every engagement follows a documented methodology — from brief to delivery. You always know where your order is, what has been checked, and what comes next. No black boxes.

Commercial Alignment

We are paid to deliver outcomes, not to fill containers. Our incentive is your supply chain performing — on cost, on quality, and on time — not simply processing orders.
