Total Procurement Lifecycle Support

Sourcing isn't just about finding a link. It's about protecting your margins and your brand quality at every step.

Supplier Vetting & Audits

Identifying 'Gold Plus' suppliers. Verifying years in business, main product categories, and downloading verified factory audit reports to ensure legitimacy.

RFQ & Communication

Drafting professional Requests for Quotation (RFQs). Managing the back-and-forth communication via Trade Manager and WeChat to get exact specs.

Price & MOQ Negotiation

Negotiating unit prices, tooling costs, and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). We help you find the sweet spot between low cost and safe entry.

Sample Coordination

Organizing sample production and shipping. Consolidating samples from multiple factories into one shipment to save you hundreds in DHL/FedEx fees.

Trade Assurance Setups

Ensuring orders are placed via Trade Assurance. Drafting the contract terms to include 'Quality Guarantee' and 'On-Time Shipping' protections.

Shipping & Freight Audit

Sourcing third-party freight forwarders and comparing quotes (Air vs Sea). We track the shipment from the factory gate to your 3PL or FBA warehouse.

Why Managed Sourcing is the Only Way

Freelancers often take kickbacks from factories or miss critical red flags in supplier reports. Sagedoer provides the management layer that ensures your sourcing is unbiased and accurate.

Free Dedicated Project Manager

Your PM acts as your Procurement Director. They learn your product specs, supervise the VA's vetting logs, and perform secondary QA on every factory quote—completely free of charge.

Strict Anti-Fraud Protocol

We follow a 12-point vetting checklist for every new supplier. If a factory doesn't have a verified onsite audit or poor transaction history, it is rejected before you see the report.

Seamless Staff Redundancy

Product launches are time-sensitive. If your primary sourcing VA goes on leave, Sagedoer provides internal coverage immediately so your factory communication never skips a beat.
