Our Process

We analyse a detailed customer request including:

  • Exact product specifications and designs
  • Desired target unit price
  • Expected quantity and quality
  • Requested delivery time frame

We deliver a “Supplier Comparison Report” :

  • Indicating whether the request is feasible
  • Suggesting a selected panel of suppliers

Upon customer supplier(s) selection, we take the following actions:

  • Order samples from chosen supplier(s)
  • Samples checked by the quality team from our partner Victuregroup in Shenzhen
  • Validated samples shipped to customer for approval

 

Once the sample(s) are validated by the customer, we verify the supplier(s) premises with a visit to assess the:

  • Location/existence of selected factory(ies)
  • Existing setup and supply chain organization
  • Execution methods of quality control
  • Ability of the factory to manufacture the requested product(s)

We negotiate directly with manufacturer(s) / supplier(s) on our customers behalf:

  • Competitive target pricing in local currency « Renminbi (Yuan) »
  • Payment terms & quantities
  • Shipment terms (if required)
  • Delivery dates

Our customers profit from:

  • Local procurement made between our partner Victuregroup in Shenzhen and local Chinese factory(ies)/supplier(s)
  • Delivery of a production guarantee document (in Chinese) between Victuregroup and local Chinese factory(ies)/supplier(s)
  • Possible VAT % return according to customs product HS code

We submit to our customers a “Proforma Invoice” including:

  • Negotiated target price with the factory(ies)/supplier(s)
  • Payment and delivery terms
  • Shipping terms (if required)

Once the « Proforma Invoice » is approved by our customers:
