In one line: we run the sourcing end to end and get you a real product at the end of it, supplier selection, sampling, quality control, freight, and delivery to your 3PL. What changes between the two tiers below is who makes the final call, not the work itself.
Every decision comes to you as a clear recommendation, options included. We do the legwork, the vetting, the negotiating, but you choose the supplier, sign off on the sample that passes, and approve the terms. You stay the decision-maker; we just remove the guesswork from each decision.
We make the calls. You get updates, not decisions to sit in on: no sample threads to read, no supplier calls to join, no terms to review line by line. The first time you touch it in detail is when a finished, sellable product lands in your 3PL.
Duration depends on your product's complexity and how far along you already are, so there's no fixed week-by-week schedule here the way there is for the audit. This is the shape of it.
We align on the product, budget, target volume, and how involved you want to be. This is also where we confirm whether Partner or Operator is the right depth for you.
We identify, vet, and select manufacturers and component suppliers. Partner: you see the shortlist and the recommendation, and make the final pick. Operator: we pick, and move forward.
We manage sample rounds, set tolerances, and run quality checks. Partner: you sign off on the sample that ships. Operator: we sign off, on a standard we've already agreed with you upfront.
We own the production timeline, freight forwarder and 3PL selection, customs, and the landed cost as it evolves in real time.
Finished inventory lands in your 3PL, ready to sell.

Done For You is built on the same hands-on production experience behind the audit: the same supplier vetting method, the same landed-cost discipline, the same lessons paid for the hard way. The only difference is that instead of handing you the findings and a recommendation, we carry the work itself, at the depth you choose.
