Thank you, we actually have a video coming soon about due diligence matters and quality control and how we proceed through our buying office team. Stay tuned!
i appreciate the transparency of your thoughts as is's not always that sourcing agents share the difficulties and challenging in sourcing goods overseas.
Thank you. Indeed, people have a lot of misconception and assumptions about Vietnam manufacturing. This is the reason we talk about some of the biggest myths.
Great video about finding the right supplier, organizing factory tours and overseeing the entire production process with quality control. Some useful details and tips. Thanks.

Thanks Guillaume for those great informations. Can you do a video on IT sector, software outsourcing and its pricing and market, but all in general tech scene in vietnam of 2024 too?
Hi, - Pros of working with family-owned / SMEs : you can easily become a big customer for them so you can negotiate better than with a big factory. - Cons : If you put all your eggs in a same basket then you need extra due diligence, QC and inspection as they may not have in-house the same level of checks as more established factories.
Learn about the rising demand for Vietnamese textiles, footwear, handicrafts, furniture, and kitchenware. With significant growth projections in these industries, Vietnam presents numerous opportunities for sourcing high-quality products at competitive prices.
Yes 'buying office' mean that we are buying on the behalf of our foreign clients, ensuring the sourcing, due diligence, product development, warehousing and logistics until the goods will finally be shipped overseas. This is suitable if you intend to purchase from many suppliers but if you are only working with one factory, then they should be able to handle the required paperwork for exports.
Yes you can use IA to provide you some factory names. I think the algorithm is also using Google datas (so Google Map / Google Search) to filter and provide with recommendations.
This problem shouldn't actually happen if you monitor your production entirely and if you already validated a mock-up that both you and the factory agreed. Still final inspection are required and I do recommend to use a third party at this last step to ensure the entire specs are fully matched.

Hello boss.
How are you doing today work and family.
I will really need to meet with you and discuss huge African potential market.
I am a fan of your and I really would love we start working together.
And here in Vietnam newly arrived
I actually attended to one of the trade show in Vietnam in March and i realize how hard it is to build relationship with some suppliers.
True. If you are used to sourcing in China, dealing with Vietnam manufacturers may be more difficult due to the language barriers.
Thank you for highlighting Vietnam myths, I was actually thinking that there are databases of suppliers to find factories online.

Great suggestion!
I love this topic. what about the risk of working with factories that are more family-owned business ?
Hi,
- Pros of working with family-owned / SMEs : you can easily become a big customer for them so you can negotiate better than with a big factory.
- Cons : If you put all your eggs in a same basket then you need extra due diligence, QC and inspection as they may not have in-house the same level of checks as more established factories.
Thank you for the insights. What are some advices you would give regarding the quality control? During mass production?
Thanks for the infos. Hope I can also have my own brand one day and why not working with Vietnam.

Oh nice you guys have your own warehouse for your clients ?
We do 😎
I see that you have a place to store the goods, are you doing dropshipping?
We do. We are studying the drop-shipping model for 2025. Stay tuned!
This is the first time that I hear about the buying office term , I thought you usually buy from the supplier.
Yes 'buying office' mean that we are buying on the behalf of our foreign clients, ensuring the sourcing, due diligence, product development, warehousing and logistics until the goods will finally be shipped overseas. This is suitable if you intend to purchase from many suppliers but if you are only working with one factory, then they should be able to handle the required paperwork for exports.
I heard that IA allows now to find factories though Google Map. Is it also working in Vietnam?
Yes you can use IA to provide you some factory names. I think the algorithm is also using Google datas (so Google Map / Google Search) to filter and provide with recommendations.

This problem shouldn't actually happen if you monitor your production entirely and if you already validated a mock-up that both you and the factory agreed. Still final inspection are required and I do recommend to use a third party at this last step to ensure the entire specs are fully matched.
