Six Steps To Success With DNA Sourcing
 |
Supply product information such as specifications, drawings, special material requirements, target price, quantities and anticipated lead-time. Our Request for Quote online form will cover most questions and help us identify the right factories. |
 |
A thorough analysis of your product is performed by our Guangzhou engineering staff to help determine whether it is a "sourcing" project (product is currently being manufactured within your specifications) or a "contract manufacturing" project. We will determine the tooling cost and ask you whether or not you want a tooled sample or a "hand-made" sample. If it is the latter, there may be a "tooling" charge. At this stage a Sourcing Expert within our office is assigned to you as Account Manager. |
 |
Your products are sourced from either already existing sources of production or manufacturing through our family factories or trusted pre-screened factory network, working on your behalf we negotiate the best possible price for you (we are 'not' factory agents), you are then provided a quotation that will show our service fee for management of the product and will include estimated delivery options. We obtain 3-5 competitive quotes, our translation department will produce Excel files allowing your easy comparison among all supplier profiles. Detailed supplier information will be available. |
 |
Your account manager at DNA will perform an on-sit audit to help aid your selection of Supplier. If a sample order is requested, a quotation for the sample is provided and upon your inspection and approval, purchase orders for contract quantities are placed. |
 |
Mass production is begun, you advise us of your preferred shipping methods (air or ocean freight). |
 |
Production is completed, packaged according to your specifications and your order is loaded into a shipping container for delivery to your facility or distribution warehouse. |
