How it works

From a spec sheet to a shipped container — without the usual chaos.

Four phases. Each one is either AI-first (fast, cheap, truthful) or human-led (on the ground, hands on the product). You never get stuck between the two.

  1. 01Discovery

    Ask the AI Advisor

    Describe the product, target cost, certifications and market. The Advisor surfaces the real constraints — MOQ norms, typical lead time, tariff / compliance flags — and tells you what is realistic before you burn a week on samples.

    • Retrieval-augmented answers from 275+ curated sourcing chunks
    • Hard scope: refuses out-of-scope questions, points you to the team
    • Exportable research snapshot
  2. 02Shortlist

    Matching & verification

    We run a targeted search across factory databases and our own supplier network. Every candidate is filtered against factory vs. trader patterns, export history and capacity fit. You get a shortlist that actually matches the spec.

    • Factory-tier classification
    • Export history + compliance flags
    • Capacity / equipment sanity check
  3. 03Samples

    Samples, done properly

    First samples are compared side-by-side. We do not pick the cheapest — we pick the one that matches the spec and whose factory passed capacity check. You approve the sample before we move forward.

    • Parallel sample runs from shortlisted factories
    • Unit cost and MOQ negotiated per-factory
    • Test-report handling for regulated categories
  4. 04Production

    Production, QC, ship

    We manage PO, pre-shipment QC, consolidation and freight. You get weekly progress updates — not five WeChat groups. One point of contact, one timeline, one invoice.

    • Pre-shipment QC with photo + defect report
    • Consolidation + freight booking (FOB / CIF / DDP)
    • Post-landing debrief: what worked, what to change next PO
