Where Berg fits

A practical role in your China supply chain

Whether you are starting a new sourcing project or already buying from China, Berg can take responsibility for the parts of procurement that need stronger market knowledge, local control or coordination.

01

You need the right manufacturer.

We map the supplier market beyond the first Alibaba or Made-in-China results, compare like-for-like quotations, identify who actually manufactures the product, and manage negotiation and samples.

02

You have a supplier but need independent control.

We verify the company behind the quotation, assess product-specific capability, follow production and inspect the goods before shipment.

03

Your procurement has become fragmented.

Several suppliers, inspectors, documents, warehouses and forwarders should not mean several separate processes. We coordinate them as one supply chain.

04

You need a product sourced from specification.

We turn the requirement into a workable procurement process - from supplier selection and sampling through commercial terms, production control and delivery.

Local execution

Our China-side operation works directly with suppliers on negotiation, contracting, production, quality and problems that need to be solved locally.

01

One procurement structure

Factories, inspection, warehousing, documentation and freight coordinated as one process rather than separate operating silos.

The real procurement work

Alibaba, Made-in-China, 1688 and trade fairs are useful ways to find factories. Platform badges, audits and Trade Assurance can provide useful information too. They simply do not answer every question that matters.

Alibaba can find you suppliers. It cannot run your supply chain.

How it works

From requirement to delivery

A project can start with a supplier search or with a supplier you already use. We build the process around what is actually missing.

01

Define

Product, specification, quantity, quality requirements, destination and commercial priorities are made clear.

02

Map & benchmark

We map the relevant supplier market, normalize quotations and establish realistic pricing and commercial options.

03

Verify

Company identity, factory capability, samples, documentation and product-specific manufacturing evidence are checked before commitment.

04

Contract & control

We coordinate negotiation, contracting structure, production follow-up, quality control and corrective action.

05

Deliver

Cargo, documentation, consolidation, freight, customs coordination and delivery are followed through to completion.

When something goes wrong

A procurement structure matters most when everything stops going to plan

Buying is straightforward while quality, timing and communication remain on track. The value of the structure becomes clearest when one of them changes.

01

The goods arrive wrong.

A cross-border buyer can quickly lose practical leverage when replies slow down. Where appropriate, Berg can structure the supplier relationship through our China-side entity under Chinese law, with defined specifications, responsibilities and remedies.

02

The sample was right. Production isn’t.

Materials, components, finishing or packaging can change between approval and mass production. We define checkpoints and inspect while correction is still possible.

03

Everybody did their part. The shipment still failed.

We coordinate supplier, inspection, warehouse, documentation and freight as one operating process, with one party following the outcome rather than only its individual task.
