Practical sourcing support from brief to shipment

Northpoint helps businesses source products, select suppliers and manage procurement across Asia. With longstanding experience in Hong Kong and China, we combine local business understanding with a clear focus on specifications, quality, commercial terms and communication.

Our sourcing history includes consumer electronics and a wide range of other products. We support both defined product requirements and custom sourcing projects that need development with suitable suppliers.

Product sourcing and supplier selection

We identify potential suppliers, assess their suitability and compare product options against your requirements. Our work includes quotation coordination, commercial discussions and support in building productive supplier relationships.

Product development and presentation

We work with customers and suppliers to develop products to an agreed specification or desired solution. Support can include product requirements, packaging design, labelling and coordination of certification and compliance requirements relevant to the project.

Factory inspections and supplier due diligence

We arrange factory inspections and supplier due diligence to help customers assess capability, facilities and suitability before progressing with an order or supplier relationship. The scope is agreed around the product, supplier and risks that matter to the customer.

Quality inspection

Our inspection support can cover raw materials, production in progress and finished goods. Checks are coordinated against agreed specifications and inspection requirements, with findings used to support purchasing and shipment decisions.

Procurement and shipping coordination

We manage or assist with procurement from quotation through to shipment, including supplier communication, order follow-up, packaging requirements, logistics coordination and repeat order management.

Supplier relationships and business development

We consult on and manage business development between customers and China-based suppliers, helping both sides communicate requirements, negotiate commercial arrangements and develop longer-term working relationships.
