The Process
- First, we get to know our customer's requirements; product specifications, quality, pricing, quantity needs.
- We then assist the customer in generating a Request for Quote (RFQ) and facilitate sending it to our vast network of factories and sub factories.
- As quotes come in, we help our customer in narrowing the field of choices down based on the quote information, factory location, and customer references.
- We arrange for sampling, if required by our customer.
- All information up to the point and throughout the process is documented and reported in professional formatting for our customer.
- We negotiate pricing with the factory to get the target price they require. Other factors such as pricing terms, tooling costs, and MOQs are also negotiated.
- If our customer wants to visit the factories before deciding we can arrange for that logistically as well.
- After selection, we assist in getting a signed product supplier agreement in place.
- Upon issuance of a Purchase Order by our customer, we monitor and report weekly on status; tooling, off tool sample, production timeline.
- For most of our customers, we conduct both in-line and post production inspection before approving for shipment.
- Depending on the pricing terms arranged, FOB vs DDP for example, we monitor the delivery of goods up to the point where possession is taken over by our customer
