From Factory Audits to Final Delivery: Our 14-Month Journey in Sourcing Industrial Dryers
When expanding your business to China, finding the right supplier can be a complex and time-consuming process.
20+ Years of On-the-Ground Sourcing Expertise in China
Since 2004 | 5,000+ POs | 20+ Long-term Suppliers | SKU: 15,000+
Clients Size: From 30 to 2500+
We are a team of bilingual Chinese consultants who provide sourcing support to both international buyers.
Working with 20+ Chinse suppliers for dacade, we have seen many if not all types of suppliers, encountered every issues and were confronted with different tough challenges and emergencies. A typical example is when our client wants their products shipped ASAP but he has a low priority on the supplier’s list and the supplier has a tight schedule. What comes here to play is the communication skill and the personal relationship with the supplier.
We learned from our own experience that each product has its own key stages that affects the quality and each supplier has its own weakness. So often what matters is not the general approaches but who’s what.

What matters when buying customized products from Chinese suppliers
What matters when buying customized products from Chinese suppliersPatience and again patience no matter how tight your schedule is. A spinning head sees nothing.We have learned this from one of our current projects: help our client buy manufacturing equipment from China. If you put the designing onto the supplier’s hand, keep in mind that you treat him as he knows nothing about your factory, your products or your requirements.

It takes more time for him to develop an understanding of your request than you expect. Often you will go back to these basics sometime at some point and you have lost time and at a risk of delay.
