Services

Where we help

Every engagement starts with one clear goal. From there, we're available on any part of the business.

Sourcing and manufacturing in China

Capacity, quality and negotiations with your current factory, and new or backup factory relationships when you need them.

Operations

A review of how the business runs today, clear recommendations, and workflows your team can follow.

Cost structure

A close look at what you pay to make, ship and sell, and practical advice on where margin can improve.

Inventory

Planning around seasons and supply, and ways to move slow or excess inventory without hurting your core brand.

Partnerships and channels

Retail, wholesale, drop-ship and corporate partnerships, built so each channel supports the others.

Growth planning

Deciding what comes first, what waits and who owns it, so growth doesn't outrun the business behind it.

AI builds and implementation

We design and build custom AI tools for sales, customer support, operations and planning, connect them to the systems you already use, and train your team to run them. How it works

AI builds and implementation

Operations and workflows

Automations that cut manual steps in ordering, inventory, fulfillment and reporting.

Planning and insight

Dashboards and forecasting that turn sales and supply data into clear decisions.

Sourcing and manufacturing

On the ground in China

We work directly with factories, never through agents.

With a trusted representative on the ground, we help brands build supply they can count on and grow with.

  • Finding and qualifying new factories
  • Capacity and quality reviews
  • Negotiations and agreed terms
  • Second-source and backup factory relationships
  • Product development and prototyping support
  • Logistics, shipment tracking and landed cost

How we work

Simple, monthly, flexible

  1. 1

    Start with the biggest problem

    We agree on the one thing that matters most right now and put a focused program around it.

  2. 2

    Open advisory alongside it

    Check-ins, calls and a sounding board for ideas on any part of the business, in whatever rhythm works for you.

  3. 3

    Continue as long as it's useful

    Engagements run month to month. When one priority is handled, we move to the next, or wrap up.
