Step 1
Define the brief
Set the product requirements, target quantities, cost expectations, and timing. Agree on the sourcing scope before approaching suppliers.
You receive
A shared product brief and sourcing scope
How it works
How we find
your manufacturer.
We define the product, research factories, compare quotes and samples, then introduce you directly. Here’s what happens at each step.
Plan for initial sourcing4 to 6 weeks
Once the brief is agreed. The product, supplier responses, and sample revisions shape the actual schedule. We confirm milestones on the call; production and delivery are separate.
Step 2
Find the right factories
Research suppliers against the brief. Compare capabilities and identify the questions that need answers before a factory makes the shortlist.
You receiveA supplier shortlist with capability notes
Step 3
Compare quotes and samples
Request quotes on the same basis and confirm minimum quantities. Coordinate the agreed sample work and record what needs to change.
You receiveA quote comparison and sample review plan
Step 4
Estimate the total cost
Bring the cost inputs together, including separate tooling, packaging, and freight assumptions. Flag the items that need confirmation before an order.
You receiveA cost overview with assumptions and open questions
Step 5
Meet your manufacturer
Introduce you to the manufacturers you choose and hand over the sourcing information. Decide what ongoing support, if any, your team needs.
You receiveDirect factory contacts and a documented handover
Before you place an order
Quantities. Timing.
Total cost.
We check these with suppliers early and show you which details still need confirmation.
Minimum quantities
A minimum order quantity (MOQ) is the smallest order a factory will accept. It depends on the product and supplier. We ask for the quantities that fit your brief and make the tradeoffs visible.
Sample timing
Stock samples and custom development have different schedules. Sample preparation, revisions, and transit need their own plan.
Landed cost
Landed cost estimates what it takes to get the goods to you: the factory price plus items such as tooling, packaging, freight, and tariffs. We label any costs that still need confirmation.
