Services9 modules · sample → shipmentBuyer-side

The work between order placed and arrived intact.

Nine service modules covering the full sourcing lifecycle. Each module solves a specific buyer problem, has a defined scope, named deliverables, and clear boundaries of what we do and don't do.

Use words like support · coordinate · help manage — never "guarantee compliance".

01Selection & supplier

What product, from which supplier, at what total cost.

Quality Control · Sample to Shipment从样品到出货的质量控制

Problem: Sample looks great. Bulk drifts. You only see it at unboxing.
Scope: Sample confirmation, pre-production spec lock, in-process checks, packaging & component checks, pre-shipment inspection.
Boundary: Quality control reduces risk; it isn't a zero-defect promise. Complex orders should specify inspection criteria.

04Service-fee model

A transparent service basis — so our role is aligned with your sourcing success.

Traditional supplier profit comes from product margin — often hidden in the unit price. That model rewards selling, not sourcing.

AAS works on a sourcing service basis: a clear scope, named deliverables, written supplier options, transparent quote structure. You see what we recommend, why, and what the trade-offs are.

Our growth depends on whether you source successfully and return for repeat projects — not on a margin you can't see.

  • A.Project-based sourcing — a defined scope per program (selection through shipment) at a service fee.
  • B.Ongoing China-side sourcing partner — month-to-month or seasonal program for active categories.
  • C.Targeted modules — pre-shipment QC, compliance coordination, packaging review only.
  • ·First conversation focuses on identity and risk. Service-fee structure is shared once your brief is on the table.
