Process
Our Sourcing Process
A staged process for checking fit, preparing the RFQ, reviewing supplier evidence, separating quote assumptions and setting the next gate before commitment.
1. Submit the decision to review
Send the drawing, product photo, sample image, quote, supplier issue or repeat-order question. Useful details include quantity, material, finish, intended use, target price and deadline.
01
2. Fit and boundary review
We check category fit, intended use, specification clarity, buyer evidence, quantity realism and whether customs, legal, tax, certification or safety-critical review must stay with specialists.
02
3. RFQ readiness and missing evidence
3.1
Public explanation
The website can explain RFQ readiness at a summary level.
3.2Client file
The real RFQ gaps, drawings, notes and supplier questions stay inside the service delivery.
3.3Decision point
This helps decide whether the buyer should issue the RFQ, revise the pack or pause before supplier outreach.
4. Supplier evidence and quote assumptions
4.1
Supplier assessment
Manufacturing capability, relevant experience, MOQ suitability, sample path, communication quality and evidence consistency.
4.2Quotation assumptions
Unit price, tooling cost, sample cost, MOQ, lead time, payment terms, material confirmation, finish, packaging and freight assumptions.
4.3Not only cheapest
We do not recommend choosing a supplier only because the visible unit price is lowest.
5. Gate checklist and release evidence
5.1
Sample gate
The client remains responsible for final sample approval. No production should begin before written sample approval.
5.2Payment gate
Balance payment should wait for agreed production, packing, inspection and document evidence.
5.3Shipment release
Shipment-release evidence stays separate from customs clearance, tax treatment and regulated specialist decisions.
