China Sourcing Feasibility Study/Supplier Identification and Analysis Report Includes:

Typical Clients of the China Sourcing Feasibility Study may:

• Require local sub-suppliers for components and/or raw materials to be processed at PassageMaker’s assembly center
• Be interested in developing a factory direct relationship with a reputable supplier for export directly to client
• Desire reliable market intelligence as a tool for negotiations with existing suppliers in China or at home.

Method of Research:

With an emphasis on national level in-the-field research and physical inspection of production facilities, manufacturers are identified via industry contacts, government officials, trade associations, trade directories and publications, industry experts, internal databases and our existing network of reputable and trusted manufacturers.

PassageMaker has already completed projects for hundreds of different product classifications, a partial list is available here.

Overview:

Extreme variation in price, quality, and production ability exists among suppliers in China making sourcing from China difficult. The proliferation of trading companies limits transparency of pricing and adds to the complexity of finding a suitable supplier. Our research division was founded with the expressed goal of helping clients avoid middlemen and find the right manufacturer based on the client’s particular requirements for price, quality, and lead times.

Only through physical inspection of production facilities can one gain a true understanding of a supplier's ability to produce the desired product. PassageMaker’s China Sourcing Feasibility Study/Supplier Identification and Analysis Report is an affordable option for clients who do not have the time, energy, language skills or China business experience required to visit and evaluate potential suppliers in China. Generally speaking, during the course of each research project we will interview over 20 potential suppliers, short listing the top 3-5 for an in-depth audit.

This is a transparent process where the client is given full disclosure of the research findings and seller's information such as contact details and pricing. There are no commissions in any form given by suppliers to PassageMaker. Our interest is aligned solely with the client. Upon completion of research, the client may elect to utilize PassageMaker for additional services such as 3rd party quality control and Vendor Coordination but is under no obligation to do so.
