End to end

One partner from brief to warehouse door.

Sourcing, verification, negotiation, quality control and freight handled by a single accountable team — with one point of contact in Paris.

Services

Complete procurement solutions.

One partner across the full sourcing lifecycle — from finding the right factory to delivering a fully cleared container to your warehouse. Every service below can be bought on its own, or combined into a single managed programme with one contract, one invoice and one contact.

We work as your team on the ground in Asia: independent of the factories, paid by you, and accountable for the result. That independence is deliberate — it is what allows us to tell you when a supplier is wrong, when a price is unrealistic, or when a project should not go ahead.

01

Product Sourcing

Identifying qualified manufacturers matched to your technical and commercial requirements.

We start from your specification, not from a supplier list. Our teams translate drawings, BOMs and tolerances into a shortlist of factories genuinely capable of producing your part — the right process, the right certifications, the right volume band. Each candidate is contacted directly in the local language, screened on capacity and export experience, and asked to quote on identical terms so the comparison is honest.

  • Specification review and manufacturability feedback
  • Shortlist of 3–5 pre-screened factories with capability notes
  • Like-for-like quotation matrix including tooling and MOQ
  • Sample coordination and technical follow-up until approval
02

Supplier Verification

Comprehensive checks on production capability, certifications, compliance and financial stability.

Before a single purchase order is placed we verify that the company you are dealing with is the company that will actually build your product. That means business licence and export licence checks, ownership and trading-history review, certification validation against issuing bodies, and confirmation that production genuinely happens in-house rather than through an undisclosed subcontractor.

  • Business, export and tax registration verification
  • ISO, CE, RoHS, REACH and sector-specific certificate validation
  • Ownership, trading history and financial stability review
  • Subcontracting disclosure and capacity confirmation
03

Factory Audits

On-site inspections performed by our own experienced professionals across Asia.

Our auditors visit the plant, walk the line and document what they see. Audits cover equipment and maintenance, workforce and shift structure, incoming material control, in-process checks, calibration records, storage conditions and ethical labour standards. You receive a scored report with photographs, a list of non-conformities and a practical corrective-action plan with deadlines we then follow up on.

  • Full-day on-site audit with photographic evidence
  • Scored report across quality, capacity, compliance and ethics
  • Corrective action plan with owners and deadlines
  • Re-audit and verification of closed non-conformities
04

Price Negotiation

Competitive pricing achieved without compromising quality, lead time or working conditions.

We negotiate with the cost structure in front of us — material, labour, tooling amortisation, packaging, margin — rather than simply pressing for a lower number. That protects you from the classic trap of a price cut paid for with a cheaper component. We also structure payment terms, tooling ownership, price validity windows and volume tiers so the deal remains stable as your orders grow.

  • Cost breakdown analysis and benchmarking
  • Tooling ownership and amortisation clauses
  • Payment terms, incoterms and price-validity negotiation
  • Volume tiers and annual review mechanisms
05

Quality Control

Inspections before, during and after production — with full reporting at every stage.

Quality is managed as a process, not a final gate. We approve the golden sample, verify incoming materials, inspect during production while corrections are still cheap, and carry out AQL-based pre-shipment inspection on finished goods. Reports include measurements against your specification, functional test results and photographs, and reach you before the balance payment is released.

  • Golden sample approval and specification sign-off
  • During-production inspection (DUPRO) at 20–50% output
  • AQL pre-shipment inspection with photographic report
  • Container loading supervision and sealing
06

Logistics Management

Sea and air freight, customs clearance, warehousing and final-mile delivery.

Once goods are approved we take responsibility for moving them. We consolidate shipments from multiple factories, book sea or air freight according to your cost and timing constraints, prepare and check the documentation that customs will actually read, and manage clearance into the EU. Where useful we hold stock in bonded or third-party warehousing and release it against your call-offs.

  • FCL, LCL and air freight booking with rate comparison
  • Multi-supplier consolidation and export packing checks
  • Documentation, HS classification and EU customs clearance
  • Warehousing, call-off stock and final-mile delivery
07

OEM & Private Label

Custom products designed, manufactured and packaged under your own brand.

For clients building their own range we manage the full development cycle: concept and feasibility, tooling, pilot runs, packaging and artwork, regulatory documentation and launch volumes. We keep tooling ownership with you, protect your designs contractually, and maintain a dual-source strategy wherever the product allows so a single factory never controls your roadmap.

  • Concept, feasibility and design-for-manufacture review
  • Tooling development, pilot runs and validation
  • Packaging, artwork, labelling and compliance documentation
  • IP protection, NNN agreements and dual-sourcing strategy
08

Supply Chain Consulting

Strategic optimisation to reduce landed cost and improve operational resilience.

Sometimes the problem is not the factory but the structure around it. We map your existing supply base, calculate true landed cost, identify concentration and single-point risks, and propose a phased plan — renegotiation, re-sourcing, relocation to another country, or consolidation of freight. Recommendations come with numbers attached so you can decide on evidence rather than instinct.

  • Supply base mapping and landed-cost modelling
  • Risk assessment: concentration, geography, compliance
  • Country diversification and re-sourcing roadmaps
  • Supplier performance KPIs and quarterly reviews
How an engagement runs

Six steps, from first call to delivered goods.

01

Discovery call

We review your product, volumes, target cost and timeline, and tell you honestly whether we are the right partner.

02

Sourcing brief

A written brief locks the specification, tolerances, certifications and commercial expectations before anyone is contacted.

03

Shortlist & quotes

Three to five audited factories quote on identical terms; you receive a comparison, not a sales pitch.

04

Samples & validation

Samples are produced, tested and approved. Tooling and pilot runs follow where relevant.

05

Production & control

Orders are placed and monitored, with inspections during and after production.

06

Freight & delivery

Consolidation, documentation, clearance and delivery to your warehouse — tracked end to end.
