Sourcing & Purchasing Assistant

Purchasing from China offers many lucrative opportunities for small to mid-sized western companies – retailers, wholesalers, and distributors. But doing business halfway around the world, with another culture and with people who speak an unfamiliar language, can be confusing and difficult.

Even after your business trip is over, I am ready here to make sure everything is done as per your requested. I can help you:

• Select, pre-qualify and check out the background information of the manufacturer.
• Communicate with the potential suppliers regarding your requirements.
• Receive the quotations & samples on your behalf.
• Organize and supervise during manufacturing.
• Identify problems before products are shipped or distributed.
• Make sure your order is delivered on time and within the budget.
• On-site quality inspections and in process quality control.
• Pre-shipment quality inspection & Container loading check.
• Ensure that contractual obligations are met: specifications, packaging, marking and delivery.

With my services, you don’t have to:
· Limit your choices to English speaking manufacturers only.
· Make frequent visits to China to check on your suppliers.
· Buy from the middleman and pay the big mark-up added by the traders.
· Waste your valuable time on the unqualified suppliers.
· Unaware of the fact that you are being ripped off.
· Fooled by the unrealistic promises of Chinese suppliers.

To whom it may concern,

During our recent visit to China, we hired Sophia as our interpreter.

She met us at Shanghai airport and guided us to our hotel. . We attended the ISH China trade show where Sophia assisted with translations when we met several suppliers. She also provided translation services during our business meetings. 

At all times Sophia was most helpful.
