Production Monitoring Retainer

We watch your order while it's being made.

A monthly retainer for buyers with production running in China. Two on-site visits a month and a written progress report every week, so problems surface while there is still time to fix them — not when the goods are already boxed.

From $490 USD per month · Transport within Guangdong included

How it works

Simple, scoped and buyer-side.

Best for repeat orders and long production runs where one inspection at the end is too late.

01

Agree the order and milestones

Send the PO, specification and ship date. We agree what to watch and when the two visits should land.

02

Visits and weekly reports

Our engineer visits twice a month and we chase the supplier between visits. Every week you get a short report with photos.

03

Act early

When something drifts, you hear it that week, with evidence, while the factory can still correct it.
