Seresway · Based in Ningbo
Sourcing support in China, built around your project
Looking for a new manufacturer, developing a product, or already working with a supplier? Tell us where your project stands and discuss the support you need.
We work with international brands, importers and distributors. You may have a detailed purchasing brief, a product you want to improve, or a supplier relationship that needs closer coordination. The starting point is understanding the decisions you need to make.
Three ways to begin
01 / YOUR STARTING POINT
Find a new supplier
A useful shortlist starts with your requirements. Share what the product must do, where you plan to sell it and what a realistic first order looks like.
What you bring
Product brief, reference images or specifications, approximate quantity, destination market and timing.
What we coordinate
Research suitable candidates, clarify their responses and compare the options against the agreed brief.
What you can review
A comparison of supplier information and quotations, with missing answers and next steps made visible.
Your decision
Choose which candidates to investigate further and whether to request samples or additional checks.
02 / YOUR STARTING POINT
Develop or customize a product
A different material, a revised instrument selection or packaging for your own brand can change both the product and the work needed to make it.
What you bring
Your reference product or idea, required changes, specifications, packaging artwork if available, quantity and destination.
What we coordinate
Coordinate questions on specifications, supplier feedback, samples and revisions before you decide whether to proceed.
What you can review
A shared specification, sample feedback and a record of agreed changes and outstanding questions.
Your decision
Approve the version to quote or sample next, then confirm the product and packaging requirements before production.
03 / YOUR STARTING POINT
Support with an existing supplier
Already found a manufacturer? Start with the part of the relationship that needs attention: unclear quotations, sample revisions, production updates or shipment planning.
What you bring
The current brief and supplier details, relevant quotations or sample feedback, the open issue and the support you want.
What we coordinate
Coordinate communication and follow-up around a defined task, while keeping your agreed responsibilities and approvals clear.
What you can review
Documented questions, responses, progress and agreed next actions that you can review.
Your decision
Confirm the next instruction, approve a revision or decide whether further work is needed.
From the next step to the next order
Keep the next decision clear
Once a direction is agreed, the project still needs communication, approvals and follow-up. The support can include the following activities, according to the agreed scope.
Samples and feedback
Coordinate sample requests and revisions, keeping buyer feedback linked to the version being reviewed.
Production follow-up
Organize progress updates and outstanding approvals against the agreed milestones.
Quality checks
Coordinate agreed checks and any specialist inspection or testing, with the provider and scope identified before work starts.
Documentation and shipment planning
Coordinate open document and logistics questions with the relevant parties, so responsibilities are clear before dispatch.
A practical example
What a useful project update can look like
| Update | Illustrative entry |
|---|---|
| Sample version | Packaging sample V2, reviewed against the current brief |
| Feedback | Print position accepted; carton dimensions still need confirmation |
| Open question | Supplier to confirm packed dimensions before the shipping estimate is revised |
| Buyer decision | Approve the dimensions or request another packaging revision |
| Next action | Update the brief after the buyer's decision; production approval remains separate |
How work starts
A conversation, then a clear scope.
Start a conversation
Start a conversation with the Seresway team about your product or category, approximate quantity if known, destination market and the question you want to resolve.
Discuss the requirement
Continue the conversation with our team to clarify your requirements and identify what information is still needed.
Agree the work
Confirm the scope, responsibilities, deliverables and commercial terms before work begins. Samples, visits, inspections, testing and logistics are clarified individually where relevant.
Review and decide
Use the agreed updates and outputs to make the next decision. Product, sample, order and shipment approvals remain explicit steps.
How fees are agreed
The work depends on your product, quantities, current project stage and the support required. We agree the scope and fees before starting. Where samples, inspections, testing or logistics are involved, clarify who provides the service, what is included and how outside costs will be handled.
Before we talk
A few practical questions
Can you help if we already have a supplier?
Yes. An existing manufacturer can be the starting point. Explain the specific task or issue so the support and responsibilities can be agreed.
What should we prepare before starting a conversation?
A product reference or short description, approximate quantity, destination market and target timing are useful. Bring your open questions; the downloadable checklist helps organize them.
Do we need final specifications before contacting you?
No. Explain what is already decided and what still needs development. A firm product quotation requires sufficiently clear specifications; the first conversation can help identify what is missing.
Are samples, inspections and shipping included?
These are agreed for the individual project. Check the scope and treatment of external costs before authorizing them; the initial conversation does not automatically include these services.
How are product requirements for our market handled?
Identify the destination and intended use at the start. Product-specific requirements and documentation may need review by the appropriate technical, testing or import specialists. Their work and the buyer's responsibilities should be agreed explicitly.
