WHAT WE DO

TURN COMPLEX
SUPPLY MARKETS
INTO WORKABLE
SOURCING PROJECTS.

01

SUPPLIER
IDENTIFICATION

Find and pre-screen relevant Chinese suppliers against technical, commercial and project-fit requirements.

02

TECHNICAL
CLARIFICATION

Clarify drawings, specifications, materials and key assumptions before quotations are compared.

03

SUPPLIER
QUALIFICATION

Factory visits, capability verification, quality review, supplier evidence and project-fit assessment.

04

RFQ & PROJECT
COORDINATION

Quotation comparison, supplier communication, production follow-up and issue coordination in China.

03
HOW WE WORK
CLARITY.

A sourcing workflow built around decisions, not document volume.

  1. 01
    DEFINE THE REQUIREMENT

    Review drawings, specifications, volumes, timing, current pain points and the decision the buyer actually needs to make.

  2. 02
    IDENTIFY & PRE-QUALIFY

    Build a supplier pool, filter obvious mismatches and record what is confirmed, supplier-stated, unverified or unknown.

  3. 03
    CLARIFY BEFORE COMPARING

    Make process assumptions, deviations, inspection requirements and technical gaps visible before price comparison.

  4. 04
    VERIFY WHERE IT MATTERS

    Use documentation, technical discussion or factory visits to verify the capabilities that matter to the project.

  5. 05
    COORDINATE THE NEXT STEP

    Support prototype, RFQ, production follow-up or issue resolution with clear ownership and recorded actions.

PROJECT FIT
BEFORE
SUPPLIER LISTS.

Sourcing Bridge is most useful where drawings, process routes, quality expectations or project volumes require more judgement than a catalogue search.

SUPPLIER QUALIFICATION / 2026
A FACTORY VISIT
IS NOT
SUPPLIER APPROVAL.
The useful question is not whether a factory is “good”.
It is what kind of project that supplier is actually suitable for.
06
ABOUT

FOUNDER-LED.
PROJECT-FOCUSED.

Sourcing Bridge supports industrial buyers that need a reliable China-side sourcing interface without building a large local procurement function.

The work is led directly by Lisha Zheng and combines supplier search, qualification, technical clarification, factory coordination and project follow-up. The emphasis is on documented decisions, visible risks and clear ownership rather than supplier introductions alone.

WHO WE WORK WITH
European and Latin American industrial companies, OEMs and project teams evaluating China supply options or second-source opportunities.
WHERE WE FIT BEST
Custom components, low-volume or project-based manufacturing, technical RFQs, supplier changes and situations where capability must be verified before commitment.
WHAT WE ARE NOT
A factory, a catalogue marketplace or a quotation-forwarding trading layer.
