In global manufacturing and procurement, two terms often define how products are developed and sourced: OEM and ODM. 

FAQ

Absolutely. We offer modular services. We can step in to handle specific parts of your supply chain, such as independent factory audits, in-line/pre-shipment quality inspections, and managing logistics/customs for existing orders.

We do not enforce a company-wide MOQ. The MOQ is determined by the manufacturing partner based on the complexity and material of your specific product. We will work to find suppliers who can accommodate your volume needs, even for smaller initial test orders.

We provide proactive weekly or bi-weekly status updates. You will also receive immediate notification and detailed reports after key milestones, such as sample approval, production inspection, and shipment departure.

We verify that all manufacturers hold the necessary certifications (e.g., ISO, BSCI, specific product certifications) and adhere to local labor laws and ethical sourcing standards. We ensure your products meet the regulatory requirements for the destination market (e.g., CE for EU, UL for US).

Production lead times are typically 30-60 days after sample approval and deposit. Shipping via sea freight can take an additional 4-8 weeks (depending on the destination), while air freight is typically 1-2 weeks

Yes. We work with trusted freight forwarders to manage the entire logistics chain, including factory pickup, export documentation, international shipping, import customs clearance, and last-mile delivery to your warehouse (DDP/Delivered Duty Paid terms).

We require all suppliers to sign a legally binding Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreement (NDNN/NDA) in both English and the local language. We also structure contracts to ensure your ownership of all tooling, molds, and IP.

Our QA & QC process is designed to prevent this. If a defect is found during the Pre-Shipment Inspection, we halt the shipment and ensure the factory rectifies the issue or remanufactures the goods at their expense.

If a non-conformance is identified after delivery, we mediate and use our contract with the supplier to ensure appropriate compensation or replacement.

Depending on the sourcing service your company chooses, we apply a comprehensive multi-stage QC process to ensure consistent, top-tier quality.

1. Pre-Production:

We begin with the PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) to confirm that every customer requirement is fully understood and will be met before production starts.

2. In-Process Quality Control:

Throughout production, we conduct system audits, process audits, and product audits to ensure the product meets all specifications and that quality remains stable and tightly controlled.

For product evaluations, we perform all necessary inspections, including IQC, IPQC, OQC, PQC, and FQC.

3. Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI):

Before shipping, we carry out a final inspection to verify that the products and all customer requirements are fully satisfied

 

The landed cost is the total price for the product delivered to your specified location. It includes the Ex-Works (factory) price, our service fee, domestic logistics in the origin country, international freight (sea/air), customs duties/taxes, and final delivery to your warehouse.

Yes 100%. We save you money by leveraging our volume and negotiation power, accessing factory-direct pricing, reducing costly errors due to communication/cultural gaps, and mitigating risks associated with poor quality or unreliable suppliers.

Please refer to the Sourcing Solution page for more details.

Yes, we specialize in custom manufacturing, private label, and OEM/ODM projects. We work with factories that can develop products from a concept, create tooling/molds, and apply custom branding and packaging

The initial supplier identification and quotation phase typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the sourcing service you select. Sample production time varies significantly by product complexity but usually ranges from 2 to 6 weeks after confirming the specifications

We will guide you through the process. At the minimum, we will need a product specification, ideally including a tech pack or 3D drawings, target price and desired Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ), estimated annual volume, and any specific quality certifications or compliance requirements (e.g., CE, FCC, FDA)

Our process includes :

(1) identifying potential suppliers from our proprietary network and market research

(2) issuing RFQs and comparing quotes

(3) conducting financial and capacity due diligence

(4) performing on-site factory audits and verifying certifications

and (5) managing a trial order/sampling phase.

 

We are an independent sourcing agent/company. We do not own the factories, which ensures we remain impartial and prioritize finding the best-fit manufacturer for your specific project's quality, volume, and budget requirements.
