Flexible engagement models based on your level of involvement

We work with both eCommerce sellers and importers at different stages, offering flexible engagement models based on what works best for your business.

Our support is structured around your order volume, project scope, and preferred level of involvement. Whether you need hands-on consulting, full sourcing management, or ongoing monthly support, we can tailor an approach that fits.

Client Managed

Local Support in China

You manage supplier relationships directly while we provide on-the-ground support in China.

  • Factory visits and inspections
  • Supplier communication support
  • Quality checks and follow-up
  • Logistics coordination

Billing: Scope-based or percentage of order value

PSG-managed

End-to-End Sourcing

You provide the product brief or sourcing requirement, and we manage the process from factory sourcing through to delivery coordination.

  • Supplier sourcing and vetting
  • Sampling and negotiation support
  • Production follow-up
  • Quality control and shipment readiness
  • Freight coordination

Billing: Quoted per project, order value, or agreed scope of work.

Hybrid

Flexible Hybrid Engagement

A customised approach combining elements of both models, ideal for businesses that want to stay involved in selected parts of the process

  • Shared supplier management
  • Targeted sourcing support
  • Project-based coordination
  • Freight and logistics support where needed

Billing: Hourly, fixed-fee, commission-based, or project-based depending on scope and frequency.

Consulting and ad-hoc support

For smaller projects, one-off tasks, or businesses that need focused advice rather than full project management, we also offer hourly consulting and ad-hoc support.

Hourly consulting: from $200 USD per hour

Available for specific tasks such as supply chain consulting, freight advice, negotiation support, issue resolution, sourcing guidance or any other questions you have.

  • Supplier review and basic checks
  • Freight and logistics guidance
  • Product sourcing advice
  • Factory communication support
  • Problem-solving for existing orders

Ongoing support and monthly retainers

For businesses placing regular orders or needing consistent sourcing support, we offer retainer-based arrangements that provide a more stable, ongoing presence on the ground in China

  • Regular supplier communication and follow-up
  • Production progress monitoring
  • Ongoing QC coordination
  • Shipment planning and logistics support
  • Priority response and continuity across orders

Retainers are structured based on your order frequency, order volume, support requirements, and level of involvement.

Typical project scope

Most of our sourcing projects involve a minimum net / monthly order value of $10,000 USD. 

This may vary depending on project scope, complexity, and current capacity.

If your project is smaller or more straightforward, we still encourage you to get in touch. In many cases, hourly consulting, ad-hoc support, or a smaller scoped engagement may be more suitable depending on your business.

Why we focus on larger projects

Sourcing from China is a hands-on process involving supplier vetting, negotiation, quality control, production follow-up, and logistics coordination. It requires time, local knowledge, and consistent communication across multiple parties.

To maintain service quality and deliver reliable outcomes, we focus on projects where we can allocate the right level of attention and resources. In most cases, this aligns with clients operating at a meaningful order volume.

Some sourcing agencies will take on every project regardless of size or fit. While that may work initially, service quality often drops as priorities shift towards larger clients – leading to inconsistent communication, missed details, and issues as orders scale.

We take a different approach. Rather than saying yes to everything, we work with clients we can properly support long-term – ensuring consistency, transparency, and results as you grow.

That said, smaller businesses and lower-volume projects are still welcome to get in touch. Where appropriate, we can assist with targeted support or point you in the right direction.

Common questions

The right model depends on how involved you want to be, the complexity of your product, and the amount of support required. We can recommend a suitable structure after reviewing your requirements.

Larger projects are generally the best fit for full sourcing management, but we also offer hourly consulting and selected ad-hoc services for smaller businesses where appropriate.

 Freight can be quoted separately or included depending on the engagement model and project structure.
