Factory Patrol One-off Dispatch

HCMC + neighbor provinces: $200
Rest of Vietnam: +Travel expenses

When communication with a factory stops giving clear answers, a short, focused visit on the ground often resolves in a day what emails cannot in weeks.

Before the visit, we define exactly what needs to be confirmed. I then go to the factory in person, meet management directly, and establish

• what is happening
• what is feasible
• what can realistically be done next

After the visit, you receive a concise report including:

• verified findings
• the factory’s position
• clear recommended next steps (shared with the factory)

Typical turnaround from briefing to report: within one week, depending on factory availability.

Design on Demand
$500 – $1,000 per design depending on complexity.

You provide the brief and the intent. I translate it into a complete, production-ready design.

You receive:
• 2D production drawings
• 3D visuals for approval
• clear specifications for materials and construction

With a complete and unambiguous drawing set, factories quote accurately, samples match expectations, and communication becomes straightforward.

Part of a structured product development process.

Factory Funneling
$600 per product (category)

Choosing the right factory in Vietnam is not a desk exercise. The differences in capability, consistency, and communication only become clear on site.

I visit and assess suitable factories for your product, narrowing the field to those that can realistically deliver — on quality, price, and lead time.

You receive a short, structured report with:
• verified capabilities
• strengths and limitations
• and a clear recommendation for the most suitable partner

A small investment at this stage avoids costly changes later.

Phase 2 of a structured Product Development Process.

Arrive to samples that are ready

Checked and clarified on site before you travel.

HCMC + neighbour provinces: $200
Rest of Vietnam: +Travel expenses

Before you travel, I visit the factory and check your samples against your specification, identifying and correcting issues directly with the factory.

You receive a clear, decision-ready report including:

• verified measurements
• confirmed materials and finishes
• deviations from drawings
• agreed corrections
• photos and comments

Phase 3 in a structured development process.

Full Product Development Process
$2,000 per Concept (Guide)

From rough concept or sketch
to an approved production-ready sample.

Includes:

Design on Demand – 3D models, Dimensions, Production Drawings, construction
Factory Funnelling – matching the right factory to the product
Sample Validation – on-site review, correction, approval

Managed as one coordinated process — refining drawings, aligning factories, and correcting samples until everything is ready for your approval – and for production.

You arrive to approve — not to problem-solve.

Strategic Alliance
$2,000 per month (minimum 3 months)

Your dedicated on-the-ground presence in Vietnam — managing product development, sourcing, production, and factory communication on your behalf.

We work to your priorities, represent your commercial interests, and ensure that what is agreed is clearly understood and delivered at factory level.

We coordinate directly with your nominated factories and act as your single operational point of control on the ground.

Clear structure, direct communication, and consistent follow-up — so your Vietnam supply chain operates in a controlled and predictable way.
All without needing to build your own local presence in Vietnam.

Compliance
$200 / Month / Factory

You define the compliance standards required for your market.

We ensure they are clearly understood at factory level, implemented correctly, and kept up to date through monthly verification and follow-up.

We check documentation, validate certificates, confirm material standards, and make sure your suppliers stay aligned with the requirements you have specified.

This creates a simple but effective control layer in your supply chain — reducing the risk of shipment delays, rejected goods, and compliance failures.

So you can stay focused on product development and purchasing, knowing that compliance is being handled properly on the ground.

Monthly Master Sample Inspection and Report
$200 *) / Month / Factory

How much can you improve quality, reduce claims and return rates, if this little trick is implemented? And how much will that mean for your bottom line?

Say goodbye to random factory product revisions, which you only dicover after the container arrives. No more avoidable surprises in arriving shipments. Say hello to Production Batches always being perfect when your own QC is called prior to shipping. We ensure your supplier(s) follow(s) the agreed samples to a tee, that they actively use them as reference during production.

If your suppliers don’t have a signed master sample for each product readily avaialble for their internal QC, we make sure they will.

One monthly report for your peace of mind.
