Take the whole chain or take the part that is failing. Each service below works on its own, and works better together.
You tell us what the product has to do; we work out who can make it. That means mapping the category, identifying manufacturers who genuinely operate at your volume, and presenting a like-for-like comparison instead of a pile of quotations in different formats.
A polished catalogue proves nothing. We verify the legal entity, confirm the export history, assess real production capacity and check that certifications belong to the factory rather than a trading company standing in front of it.
Price is one line in a quotation. We work the whole structure — materials, packaging, tooling amortisation, minimum order quantity, payment terms and Incoterms — so the landed cost falls without the specification quietly falling with it.
Quality is agreed before production, not argued about after it. We establish a golden sample and a written inspection standard, then check against it at the points where problems are still cheap to fix.
Goods that are stuck at a port are not goods. We book the freight, consolidate where it saves money, and prepare documentation that clears customs the first time.
When the product carries your name, the details matter more. We manage tooling, artwork, compliance testing and the commercial protections that stop your design appearing on someone else's listing six months later.
Pricing is agreed in writing before any work begins, and we do not accept commission from suppliers.
A defined brief with a defined end: one product or one category, taken from specification through to delivered goods.
Fixed fee or percentage of order value
An ongoing extension of your buying team, handling reorders, new development and supplier performance across the portfolio.
Monthly retainer
You keep your existing suppliers. We add inspection, documentation and freight so the weak link stops being the weak link.
Per inspection or per shipment
Initial supplier options and indicative pricing typically take two to ten working days depending on the category. Fully vetted quotations with samples usually run three to five weeks.
It depends on the engagement. We can act purely as your agent, with the supplier invoicing you directly, or buy and resell where consolidated purchasing gives you a better position. Both are set out clearly before we start.
Nothing ships until you decide. We report the defect with evidence, agree a remedy with the factory — rework, replacement, partial shipment or discount — and re-inspect before release.
We coordinate testing with accredited laboratories against the standards your destination market requires, and keep the certificates on file for customs and retailer audits.
Send a specification, a sample, or even a photo and a target price. You will get a considered reply — sourcing options, indicative costs and realistic lead times — not a sales pitch.
