How It Works

How We Do It

Changelog from my journey

I've been working on Aceternity for the past 2 years. Here's a timeline of my journey.

Step 01

01

Product Specification Briefing

We start by documenting your exact product specifications, target unit cost, MOQ requirements, certifications needed (CE, FCC, FDA, etc.), and quality standards. This brief drives every supplier search and negotiation.

Step 02

02

Supplier Discovery & Vetting

We source candidates from Alibaba, Global Sources, and our proprietary manufacturer network. Each supplier is vetted for trade assurance status, production capacity, export experience, and verified factory certification before any contact is made on your behalf.

Step 03

03

RFQ & Price Negotiation

We send detailed RFQs to 10–15 qualified suppliers and negotiate aggressively on unit pricing, tooling costs, packaging customisation, and payment terms. Our established relationships routinely achieve 15–25% below market rate quotes.

Step 04

04

Sample Ordering & Quality Evaluation

We coordinate sample orders from your top 3–5 suppliers and evaluate them against your specification brief using a standardised scorecard covering materials, dimensions, packaging quality, and finish. You receive side-by-side comparison photos and written scores.

Step 05

05

Factory Audit & Final Selection

Before placing a production order, we conduct a factory audit — either in person or via a verified third-party inspection partner. We confirm production capacity, worker conditions, machinery quality, and compliance certifications.

Step 06

06

Production Oversight & Pre-Shipment Inspection

We monitor your production run and arrange a pre-shipment inspection (PSI) once goods are ready. The PSI checks unit count, carton markings, barcode placement, and product quality against your approved sample before the shipment departs.
