FOR BRANDS, WHOLESALERS & DISTRIBUTORS

One sourcing task.
A clear person to own it.

Several suppliers to combine, a sample to question or quotes that do not match? Bring Eddie the China-side task that needs attention.

Work with your existing suppliers or start a new search. Agree the scope and service fees before execution.

MAKE THE PIECES WORK TOGETHER

Products here. Packaging there. Who joins the dots?

Your product, pouch and printed insert come from different suppliers. Different ready dates and incomplete packing instructions can hold up the whole shipment.

The work Eddie coordinates: Eddie follows up supplier readiness, coordinates the agreed receiving and packing work, and takes shortages or packing questions back to the responsible supplier.

  • One readiness & responsibility list

    Which item comes from whom, what is still missing and who handles each step.

  • Packing & handover records

    Agreed item combinations, counts, exceptions and the information your carrier needs.

Start with an item list, rough quantities and the point where coordination is stuck. Receiving providers, locations and external charges are confirmed before goods move.

Your decision: approve the plan, resolve listed exceptions, or agree a separate next task.

A MULTI-SUPPLIER EXECUTION ROUTE

Follow the goods through the agreed steps.

The stages included, execution provider, location and external costs are confirmed for each project.

  1. Confirm the combination

    Agree which product, packaging, label or insert belongs in each unit and which instruction version applies.

  2. Follow up supplier readiness

    Bring ready dates and missing components together; clarify who needs to act before goods move.

  3. Coordinate receiving & checks

    Confirm the receiving provider and location, then coordinate the counts and checks included in the scope.

  4. Take exceptions back to suppliers

    Raise shortages or packing differences with the responsible party; record the response and options requiring your decision.

  5. Coordinate approved packing

    Follow the agreed item combination, protection and label instructions through the named execution provider.

  6. Arrange the agreed handover

    Coordinate the approved packing information and carrier handover; keep unresolved items and release instructions visible.

Supplier responses, rework and replacement options depend on the goods and the parties' agreement. Checks and handover follow the agreed scope and buyer approvals.

Read the handover task

A named lead. A coordinated delivery team.

The project plan identifies the day-to-day contact, execution providers and the decisions that return to you for approval.

Eddie: the coordinating lead

Requirements, supplier follow-up, execution coordination and key decisions within the agreed scope.

Coordination team — routine follow-through

Routine supplier follow-up, documents, progress records and updates follow the project plan. Questions that affect requirements, timing or cost are escalated for review.

Execution provider: the physical work

The receiving or checking location, named provider, methods and charges are confirmed before the relevant work starts.

You: the approval points

Approve the requirements, changes, added work and release instructions at the agreed checkpoints.

KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR

A record you can check.
A decision you control.

Agree the output before work starts. Here is how a multi-supplier task can be structured.

Worked example: 600 products and 600 pouches, but 580 inserts; 20 inserts are missing and buyer approval is pending

WORKED EXAMPLE Illustrative figures

600 products.
20 inserts missing.

A shortfall of 20 inserts changes the packing decision. See the exception, the person who needs to act, and the approval that comes next.

A SMALLER FIRST COMMITMENT

Start with one defined task.

See a first-task scope before requesting a quote

Choose a defined piece of work. The written quote sets the deliverables, timing, fee and approval point.

  1. 01
    Describe the issue

    A reference and the decision you need help with. Redacted information is fine initially.

  2. 02
    Agree scope & fees

    Confirm deliverables, who executes, external costs, timing and payment stages.

  3. 03
    Review the agreed output

    See what was checked, where information came from and what remains unresolved.

  4. 04
    Decide whether to continue

    Use the agreed record for your next decision. Wider support needs a new agreement.

Already have an agent or factory? Keep the arrangements that work. Define a separate task where you need extra help.

Can the work continue after the first task?

Yes. Supplier search, samples, order follow-up, checks and handover can continue under an agreed wider scope. The first task is a way to assess the working relationship; ongoing work, responsibilities and fees are confirmed separately.

A 200-piece trial? Option B meets the listed MOQ. Option A needs a lower MOQ negotiated—or a 500-piece order.

Hypothetical offers for illustration—not a live quotation or completed client record.

Look past the headline unit price.

The same approach applies to supplier options: align the requirements, identify open terms and record the trade-off before choosing.

ONE ISSUE IS ENOUGH TO BEGIN

What needs attention in China?

Share the product and the task you want resolved. Initial clarification helps decide whether the work fits and what information is needed for a scope.

You can begin without sharing a complete supplier list or committing a production order.

One defined task, an order in progress or recurring purchasing — tell us what needs coordinating.

Your first reply

Task fit, the information still needed, and a proposed deliverable. The next step is a written scope and quote, or the specific details needed to prepare them.

For wider work, the first exchange also checks execution availability, project ownership, update needs and the information required for a proposal.

See first-task scopes
What will the first exchange clarify?
  • Whether the task fits and which key information is missing.
  • The proposed work, intended output and execution arrangements to clarify.
  • The information needed to scope the fee and next approval point.

Initial clarification does not automatically start a full supplier search, inspection or paid execution.

Already working with an agent or factory?

A separate check, new product or defined coordination task can sit alongside your current arrangements. Share the specific gap you want help with. Keep your current supplier and assess a backup

How is pricing agreed?

Sourcing and coordination are usually quoted with a separately stated fee. Checks, labeling, packing and kitting may have agreed task or unit prices. The proposal confirms included work, additional-charge conditions and any reimbursable expenses before paid work starts.

What if my product is not listed?

Send a reference and the issue to resolve. Product fit, execution arrangements and any specialist checks are assessed before accepting the work.
