Negotiating

Negotiating prices in China is an ongoing, dynamic process that never ends. We have been able to leverage years of negotiating experience, as we always look for a win-win balance with our vendors. A very important piece of this process is the personal relationships that we develop with each supplier.

We look to our clients for information surrounding their industry, company and product. With good information from our clients, we take the necessary time to prepare our vendor discussions thereby positioning ourselves, to achieve the best possible outcomes in this process. We pursue negotiating with clarity, patience and persistence.

There is no comprising of quality in the manufacturing process and therefore we have a very specific manner in which we manage our projects. From the beginning we will analyze the requirements of the product, including all technical specifications, and production completion date. We will provide careful due-diligence in locating manufactures requesting detailed quotations. We will carefully evaluate pricing proposals from various vendors, and determine which suppliers have the capability to manufacture the product per our specifications. Once we determine the vendor of choice we will develop a formalized plan with key factory representatives. We will issue our formal purchase order and begin the formalized production process. At this stage we will develop a prototype for client approval before we actually start production. Upon approval of the prototype, we will give the green light for production to start, and effectively utilizie our quality control standards throughout the production. Upon completion of production, we will complete our final production inspection and move into packaging. We will manage all aspects of packaging in preparation of loading the container.

Prototype Creation

In developing new products, it is necessary to develop prototypes to your technical specifications. Before we begin mass production, we will validate your concept or product before starting mass production. Depending on the product, it may involve the expense of additional tooling or mold manufacturing. It will be used later as a reference in production and quality control management.

Production Management

We prepare technical documentation for our vendors to fully understand key issues. We discuss all technical specifications of the production and product. We establish factory training and quality control procedures before production begins. If these processes are already in place, we review and dialogue how they will work into our production. We make certain that high standards of supervision exist throughout the manufacturing process, so in the event a problem occurs, a corrective action plan is immediately established to remedy the problem.

Quality Control

We provide strict quality control standards to make certain your products conform to your technical specifications. Our standards are set before mass production begins, and continues throughout production, with a final quality inspection at the end of production to validate the entire order. Throughout the process, we will check the quality of the product material, size, color, packing and product functions. We communicate regularly with written and photographic updates until production is completed.

Packaging

Many of our clients require specific assembly or packaging. Developing a product that has a great look on a retail shelf requires creativity. Certain products that may be fragile might require a special inner custom egg-crating specifically designed to prevent breakage during shipping and the stocking of retail shelves domestically. Developing the correct packaging is critical for the enhanced sale of your product and will ensure bottom line savings. With our supply chain of packaging vendors, we will help manage the flow of your artwork and custom packaging as well as uniform carton identification.

Loading Inspection

Prior to completion of production, we perform a final product inspection to ensure the quality and quantity of your goods meet the standards, as set forth in your purchase order. In this process, we also inspect the marking and labeling of each carton to make certain it is correct. We inspect cartons to make sure they are not damaged. Before loading the container, we will inspect the cleanliness of the container, as well as making certain the interior is dry. Finally we will ensure that the container is properly sealed.
