Sourcing & Merchandising

Your eyes inside the factory —
before you pay.

Margin and quality are decided long before a purchase order is signed: at supplier selection. We work where that decision is actually made — inside the clusters.

Supplier intelligence & scouting

Scouting inside the clusters where each category is actually manufactured — factory floors, not trade-fair booths. Cluster map: Categories →
Factory-versus-trader identification — knowing whether you are buying from the maker or a middle layer, and when each is the right answer
Benchmarking across candidate suppliers on cost structure, capacity, export record and quality system

Qualification, KYC & factory audits

Legal-entity verification and KYC before any money moves
On-site factory audits: production capability, quality system, working conditions and export compliance
Destination-market certification managed inside qualification — FDA / FCC / UL·ETL / ASTM·CPSC for the United States and Canada, INMETRO / ANVISA / ANATEL for Brazil — not bolted on afterwards

Private label & OEM development

Product development and sampling loops run on the ground, with engineering feedback in the factory's own language
Own-brand programme experience: we built AirPop, our own global consumer brand, through exactly this pipeline
Packaging, labelling and destination-market artwork compliance

Orders & pre-shipment QC

Negotiation and order placement under your commercial terms
Order management with production milestones tracked against the shipping calendar
Retail-readiness for North American chains: vendor onboarding, testing protocols, GS1/UPC and routing-guide compliance
Pre-shipment inspection with photo report on every order — before it leaves the factory, not after it lands

Assortment stays yours What we develop for your programme stays with your programme — we do not offer the same items to your competitors. Assortment is competitive advantage, and we treat it that way.
