who this is for

Three paths into China, depending on what you’re building.

Pick the one that fits. We’ll shape the engagement — human, AI, or hybrid — around it.

path.01 // build

Build your brand

Your idea, your design, Chinese manufacturing. We source the right OEM/ODM, manage the tooling and private-label steps, and keep production honest. Great for founders launching skincare, apparel, gadgets, or home goods.

OEM, ODM & private label
path.02 // distribute

Bring Chinese brands to Indonesia

Distribution at any scale — from a single category to exclusive master-distributor rights. We vet the brand, negotiate terms, and manage the cross-border flow so you can focus on selling in-market.

Distribution & master rights
path.03 // ad‑hoc

Ad-hoc sourcing services

Project-based support, no retainer. Factory visits, quality inspections, Canton Fair walkthroughs, spot negotiation, or contract review — slot us in when you need a pair of boots on the ground.

Pick what you need
how we work

Two sides of the same operator.

Traditional service on the left. AI tooling on the right. Most projects use both — the ratio shifts with the brief.

Human, on the ground

High-touch services delivered in person by our team in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Yiwu.

  • VIP factory tours, you come with us
  • Canton Fair walkthroughs with a plan
  • In-person negotiation in Mandarin
  • Supplier relationships we maintain ourselves
  • Physical QC inspections before shipment

process

From brief to delivered container — six steps.

Each step pairs a human lead with the AI tooling that speeds it up. You see what’s happening at every handoff.

01

Discovery

30-minute call to map product, volume, timeline, and budget.

02

Sourcing

AI screens our index; our team curates the short list.

03

Vetting

Certifications, capacity checks, sample runs, factory visit.

04

Negotiation

MOQ, pricing, terms, and a bilingual contract you can actually read.

05

Production & QC

In-line checks, remote video QC, pre-shipment inspection.

06

Logistics

Freight, customs, and delivery to your Jakarta warehouse.

What we do, in outcome terms.

Mix and match. Warm tag = human-led. Mint tag = AI-assisted. Both tags = fully hybrid.

A founder wants to launch a skincare brand. They need an OEM in Guangzhou. Our AI screens 400+ factories down to 12 on certifications, capacity, and reviews. Our team reviews those 12 and flags the top four. You join us for a VIP factory tour on two of them. Contract signed in six weeks from initial brief — versus four months of blind cold-emailing. // what a hybrid engagement actually looks like
faq

Questions founders actually ask.

Q.01How does pricing work if every project is custom?

We quote per project after a short discovery call. Scope drives price — a single QC inspection is different from a year-long master-distributor engagement. We’re pilot-stage, so pricing will shift as we learn; we’d rather talk to you than publish a rigid rate card that ages badly.

Q.02What do the AI tools actually do?

Today, they help our team screen suppliers faster, surface red flags in contracts, compare freight options, and run spec checks on video QC. We use AI to compress the slow parts — not to replace the humans who negotiate, visit factories, and sign things on your behalf.

Some tooling is live. Some is still being built. We’ll tell you which is which on the call.

Q.03I’m not tech-savvy. Will I have to use any software?

No. The High-Touch and Hybrid tiers don’t require you to touch any tool — you talk to your sourcing lead on WhatsApp and email, and we handle the screens, reviews, and reports on our end. AI-First is for operators who want direct access; everyone else just benefits from the tooling running behind the scenes.

Q.04Where are you actually based, and do I have to travel?

Our home base is Jakarta, with operators on the ground in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Yiwu. You don’t have to travel — we can run the whole engagement remotely. Most clients still choose to fly with us for at least one factory trip early on. It’s the fastest way to build trust with a supplier you’re about to send six figures to.

Q.05What’s the difference between a distributor and a master distributor?

A distributor buys from a brand and sells into a market, often alongside other distributors. A master distributor holds exclusive rights for a territory — usually a country or a region — and often appoints or manages the sub-distributors underneath them. Master distribution is just the top of the distribution stack.

We support both. If you’re aiming for master rights, the negotiation, volume commitment, and operational setup are heavier, and we’ll structure the engagement accordingly.

Q.06How do exclusivity and supplier relationships work?

Exclusivity clauses live inside the supplier or brand contract, not inside our service agreement. We’ll tell you what’s realistic to ask for given your volume and timeline, then negotiate the actual terms with the counterparty in Mandarin. Our team maintains the day-to-day supplier relationship on your behalf, so it outlasts any single project.
