A procurement process built around your risk — not our convenience
Every project follows the same 8-stage process. Every stage has a documented gate. Nothing moves forward without your written approval.
Signed specification document
We start by translating your commercial and technical needs into a precise, written specification — before contacting any supplier. Vague requirements create vague products. This document becomes the legal reference point for the entire project.
Verified shortlist of 3–5 suppliers
We source candidates through multiple channels, then verify each one: business registration, export licence, production capacity, certifications, and communication reliability. We tier every supplier — Tier A (proven), Tier B (supervised), Tier C (trial only). You only see qualified options.
Written supplier selection from client
We issue identical RFQs to all shortlisted suppliers simultaneously, normalise all quotes into one comparable table, and negotiate on your behalf. You receive a recommendation with full rationale — and the final choice is always yours, in writing.
Written sample approval
For any new supplier, a sample is mandatory before production begins. We coordinate logistics, review the sample against your specification checklist, and share a written report with photos. Production does not start until you have approved the sample in writing.
Production complete confirmation
Once production begins, we monitor via scheduled check-ins — weekly updates to you, immediate escalation if anything deviates. You are never waiting and wondering.
Inspection passed
We commission an independent inspector — SGS or Bureau Veritas — before any goods ship. The inspector works to your agreed acceptance criteria. If goods fail, the shipment is blocked immediately. Nothing leaves China on a failed inspection without your written sign-off.
Commission payment confirmed
We compare freight quotes, manage booking, verify all export documents, and brief your customs broker. The shipment is only released after inspection has passed and our commission has been received. This sequence is non-negotiable.
Post-delivery review call completed
After delivery, we conduct a structured debrief. What worked. What to improve. Supplier scorecard updated. Re-order timeline set. The relationship continues — it does not end at the port.
What makes this different
-
Structural payment protection
Our commission is collected before the shipment moves. This means we have real accountability — not just a promise. We cannot be paid if the project fails.
-
Independent inspection, always
We never use factory-nominated inspectors. We commission accredited third-party firms. The inspector works for the standard, not for the supplier relationship.
-
Written gates, not verbal assurances
Every approval, selection, and change in this process is confirmed in writing before the next step begins. No ambiguity. No "I thought you said."
