BAO SOURCING
Your On The Ground Partner in China
Fractional Sourcing for brands that want visibility, control, and confidence in their supply chain.
The Reality on the Ground
You already have suppliers. You just need someone you can trust on the ground.
We act as your local team in China, visiting factories, auditing setups, checking samples, keeping backup suppliers warm, and stepping in when things go sideways. It’s everything a full time sourcing manager would do, just without the overhead.
Our Commitment
We’re not replacing your suppliers — we’re making sure you can depend on them
Most brands think their supplier relationships are solid, until they’re not.
You’ve worked with the same factory for years. Things run smoothly. The samples look great. The communication feels easy.
Then one day, production slows, quality dips, or prices jump 30% overnight and you realise how much was built on trust, not visibility.Factories change ownership, take on bigger clients, or quietly cut corners to save costs.
It’s rarely malicious, it’s just business. But when you’re thousands of kilometres away, that small shift can snowball into a big problem.That’s where we come in.
Fractional Sourcing gives you an experienced team on the ground, people who visit your factories, audit setups, verify materials, and step in fast when things go sideways.
It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone is actually there, keeping your production stable and your brand protected.
how it works
Working with us is simple, you already have suppliers, and we just make sure they’re delivering what you expect.
Here’s how it works from start to finish:1. We Review Your Current SetupYou share details on your factory, products, and production schedule.
We do an initial assessment to understand where you might be exposed - quality control, timelines, pricing, or communication gaps.2. We Visit and VerifyOur team visits the factory to confirm what’s really happening on the ground.
We walk the floor, review production processes, and report back with photos, notes, and clear recommendations.3. We Build Your Backup PlanWe identify and vet 2–3 alternative factories that can take over quickly if your main supplier fails.
That means you’ll never be left scrambling to find a new partner under pressure.4. We Stay InvolvedDepending on your needs, we conduct quarterly or monthly factory visits, follow up on quality control, and respond immediately when something goes wrong.
You get peace of mind, full visibility, and zero guesswork.
Who It’s For
Fractional Sourcing is built for brands that already have suppliers in China but know that trust alone isn’t a strategy.* Established brands and importersYou’ve been sourcing for years and have great suppliers, but you know things can change fast. You want someone local to keep an eye on quality, deadlines, and capacity before problems escalate.* E-commerce and DTC brandsYou work directly with factories and communicate online, but you’re too far away to verify what’s really happening on the floor. You need eyes and experience in China, without the cost of setting up a team.* Product developers and startup foundersYou’ve invested heavily in moulds, designs, and samples. You can’t afford a quality issue or a delay in launch. You need someone who can step in and protect your production when timing and detail matter most
