Client location: Europe
Logistics mode: EXW
Service format: End-to-end
Service focus: Sourcing and purchasing management in China. A single point of contact on the ground in China. Seller of record. Inland logistics and export assistance in China. Export handover under the client’s instructions.
Intro
The client had a time-sensitive purchase and initially picked a supplier quickly, but the deal didn’t feel clear — weak communication, fuzzy terms, and unclear specifications. The client asked me to step in for practical vetting and B2B support on site in China.
Service scope
- Review the pre-selected supplier and highlight practical green/red flags
- Source and shortlist alternative suppliers
- Place the order after approval and handle payment
- Manage the purchase workflow through to shipment readiness
- Arrange FCA delivery to the client’s forwarder in China
Outcome
A doubtful quick pick was replaced with a clear, workable purchase. Three comparable offers, one selected supplier, and an FCA handover completed to the client’s forwarder with the related documents.
A short pause and a reality check saved the deal.
