The Black Box
The traditional agent model
Hidden Markups
Your agent earns from the factory side. Their margin is buried in your product cost — and their incentives quietly stop being yours.
Opaque Relationships
The agent holds the factory contact. If they walk, your supply chain walks with them. You're a passenger in your own operation.
Operational Amnesia
Critical decisions live in WeChat threads and personal spreadsheets. When something breaks, there's no record of who decided what.
FMT Flow
Your team, your link, your terms
You pay the factory directly
You're the Buyer of Record. We never take title to your goods, never mark them up — our fee is disclosed, nothing buried in your cost.
The relationship stays yours
Your factories, your contacts, your decisions. We operate the link from inside your team, embedded on the ground — we facilitate, not block.
Every decision logged
Specs, approvals, overrides — recorded in one system with timestamp and author. When you need to know who decided what, it's there.
Everything an in-house Asia team would do
The people, the factory-facing work, the on-the-ground tasks — operating as part of your team, without you setting up a company, a payroll, or an office in Asia.
The Team
A dedicated team that works as yours — a specialist for a startup, a full management team for a scaling brand. We employ, train, and carry the China entity, HR, and overhead. You get the people, not the liability.
The Execution
They run the factory-facing work day to day: developments, production follow-ups, QC oversight. Everything visible to you in real time through your portal. You make the calls; your team operates them on the ground.
The Flexibility
Operating in Asia is more than moving boxes. Need a local photoshoot, a custom sample, someone representing you at a trade show? Your team handles the on-the-ground work agents won't touch.
Start small. Scale on your terms
No big commitment to find out if this works. You start light, prove it on your own volume, and add people as you grow — or scale back when you need to.
1
Start with the system
Begin with a percentage of your shipped value. No dedicated headcount required. You get the portal, real-time visibility, and your factory work operated on the ground. Scope it to a single product line if you want to test it first.
2
Add your team as you grow
When you're ready for dedicated people on your account, add them at the level you need — from one specialist to a full management team. You choose the headcount; you can change it as your operation changes.
3
Stay flexible
Your team scales down on a 30-day notice. No severance to negotiate, no multi-year commitment, no entity to unwind. Add people when you're growing; scale back if you need to. The commitment is to the work, not a fixed cost.
