Independent support for your manufacturing project
Find manufacturers worth talking to, ask the questions that matter and compare what they offer. We coordinate electronics sourcing, factory meetings and follow-up, before your trip and after you get home.
You might be looking for your first electronics manufacturer, or for alternatives to a supplier you already know. We help turn your requirements into a shortlist and a meeting plan.
We research manufacturers against your product brief, contact the likely matches and record their responses. For custom electronics, the brief should make clear what you need made and which design or production work you expect the manufacturer to handle.
We book appointments with sales and engineering teams, confirm site addresses and plan the route. Mandarin–English interpretation helps you work through specifications, pricing, branding, warranties and after-sales questions. Share technical terms ahead so we can confirm the right interpreter for your meetings.
We collect prototype and production quotations in a comparable format, chase unanswered questions and help communicate your negotiation points. You choose the supplier and approve terms, payments and orders. Coordination can continue after you leave China.
Supplier verification starts with specific questions and evidence. We can help you gather company information, confirm contacts, visit locations, request examples of relevant work and document answers against your checklist. We flag what is confirmed, what is a supplier claim and what still needs checking.
A custom electronics prototype can involve PCB design, LED or LCD displays, wireless controls, firmware, a rechargeable battery and an enclosure. Ask who owns each workstream, what the first prototype will demonstrate and what is needed to move towards production. We help organise those conversations and the written responses.
Ask each supplier to quote against the same brief. We can organise the responses so you can see what is included and what is still missing.
Engineering charges, sample quantity, what is functional, revision rounds and the proposed delivery schedule.
Minimum order quantity, quantity-based pricing, component assumptions, lead time and payment milestones.
Enclosure tooling, drawings, firmware source files and who will own or receive them. Have important terms reviewed by your adviser.
Warranty terms, spare parts, repair arrangements and how defects or design changes will be handled.
Start with a non-confidential product summary, your development stage, target quantities, budget range and timing. Tell us whether you need a supplier search, meetings with your existing shortlist, or both. Mention any travel dates and the cities you expect to visit.
We quote the work around your brief and meeting schedule. Interpretation, transport and other outside costs are listed separately. We take no manufacturer commissions or referral fees. Book an initial video call to discuss fit and availability.
How it works
The same four steps every time, whether it’s one errand or a month of setup.
A few lines are enough. After the first reply we talk on WeChat, Telegram or email.
Scope, our fee, any outside costs and what “done” looks like, before anything starts.
Your operator coordinates the people involved and checks with you before any decision or spend.
A photo, receipt or short note when it’s closed, with anything still open clearly flagged.
You’re not on your own
Monica Ding leads operations. You explain the situation once, in plain words, and she takes it from there.
The team knows the city, speaks the language and follows things through, so you don’t have to chase anyone. Before anything happens you know the plan and the cost, and when it’s done you get proof.
Questions
We offer independent sourcing support for overseas founders and buyers: supplier research, shortlisting, meeting coordination, interpretation and quotation follow-up. We agree which checks and deliverables your project needs. We do not receive commissions from manufacturers.
Yes. Bring your existing contacts or ask us to research alternatives. We can confirm appointments, prepare questions, collect comparable quotations and keep track of follow-up actions.
We help you ask the right questions, request relevant examples and arrange discussions with the engineering team. Technical feasibility and prototype acceptance should be assessed by your engineer or an independent specialist. A sales promise alone does not prove capability.
Tell us which cities and factories are involved. Shenzhen is our base, and trips to Dongguan or Guangzhou can be scoped around the meetings, travel time and local availability. We confirm the route, people and costs before booking.
Send your brief and preferred dates. We can discuss day-based meeting support or a defined sourcing project, then provide an itemised quotation. The fee depends on the scope; we publish no fixed price and take no manufacturer commission.
We can relay your negotiation points, clarify quotes and collect written updates or sample arrangements. You keep approval of commercial terms and spending. Ongoing support is scoped separately if needed.
Let’s take something off your list
A few lines are enough to start. Tell us what you’re working around and when, and we’ll come back with a plan.
No payment, no commitment. We review it by hand and reply by email to talk through scope and availability.
Requests are saved to a private inbox and reviewed by hand.
