Why Not Go Direct

The three failure modes we see most often

Importers who try to source Vietnam alone usually hit one of these. We exist because we've already learned them the hard way.

The trader-not-factory problem

Going direct: 70% of Alibaba listings are traders, not factories. You pay middleman markup without knowing.

With us: every shortlist is on-site verified. We walk the floor, photograph machines, confirm ownership.

Quality drift on repeat orders

Going direct: first order ships clean, third order arrives 30% defective. No-one watches the line for you.

With us: in-line inspection on every production run. Issues caught before container loading, not after.

Communication and time-zone gaps

Going direct: WhatsApp at 2am, broken English replies, "yes yes" without commitment, missed deadlines.

With us: one English-speaking PM on the ground in Vietnam, business-hours response, written records.

Recent Project

Hardware startup, 4 categories, one PO chain

Vietnam sourcing case study electronics enclosure assembly project
Hardware Startup · USA

Consolidating 4 vendors into one Vietnam supply chain

A US hardware startup was managing 4 separate suppliers across China and Vietnam: machined enclosures, wood accessories, PCB assembly, and packaging. Lead times were unpredictable, and QC oversight was effectively zero. We rebuilt the chain inside Vietnam, kept three of their preferred specs, and added in-line inspection.

Common Questions

What buyers ask before working with us

How is sourcing through an agent different from buying on Alibaba?

Alibaba lists thousands of suppliers but verifies almost none. Most listings are traders, not factories. We do physical visits, audit production, and only present buyers with shortlisted factories that pass our checklist. Risk shifts from you to us.

What categories do you source in Vietnam?

Four primary categories: CNC machining and precision parts, wood products including hevea countertops and butcher block, electronics box-build and assembly, and standalone quality control or third-party inspection services.

What does a sourcing engagement cost?

Initial consultation is free. After scoping, we agree on either a flat project fee or a small percentage on landed cost. Pricing depends on category, order size, and whether QC and logistics are included. We share a written quote before any work starts.

Can you handle quality control for an existing supplier we already use?

Yes. Standalone QC is a common request. We schedule visits, perform AQL inspections, photograph defects, and deliver a written report within 24 business hours of the audit. You keep your supplier; we add the eyes-on-the-floor layer.

How long does a typical sourcing project take?

From brief to vetted shortlist usually takes two to three weeks. Sample production adds another two to four weeks. Full production lead time depends on category. We give written timeline estimates after the consultation, not before.

Ready to source from Vietnam without the guesswork?
