How this desk works
Cross-border trade produces a surprising amount of paper: proformas, packing lists, certificates, reminders. Our administration desk takes that load off clients who prefer not to staff it in-house, keeping every document and message on track so the deal never stalls.
Routine handling of orders, invoices and supplier accounts from start to finish.
Preparing, checking and following up invoices, packing lists, certificates and bills of lading.
Quote handling, order confirmations and day-to-day business correspondence.
One contact point across several factories and their production schedules.
Regular status updates and disciplined chasing of open items.
Help with recurring tasks that fall between departments.
Written, repeatable routines for purchasing and supply work.
Tell us what, how many and where to. We will check it can be done and reply with a priced route.
How this desk works
Good freight is mostly good planning. We work with forwarders, carriers, customs brokers and warehouses to keep cargo on an agreed schedule, and we warn you early when that schedule is about to slip.
Sea, air and road bookings matched to the Incoterms of the sale.
Grouping cargo, preparing documents and managing handovers between carriers.
Trucking to and from ports, airports, yards and sites.
Short- and longer-term warehousing through partner facilities.
Export and import formalities lined up with licensed brokers.
One plan when several factories feed a single delivery.
Forwarding from Hong Kong and destination ports into the wider market.
Booked delivery slots and signed proof of receipt.
End to end
Choose any stage for a summary of our part in it.
We confirm the factory can meet the requirement and get production or ex-works dates committed in writing.
Price, Incoterms, packing and document requirements are fixed before the goods leave the plant.
Sea, air or road is chosen by weighing cost, transit time and what the cargo can tolerate.
Export and import formalities are lined up with licensed brokers so the documents arrive ahead of the cargo.
If the goods land before the site or store is ready, we arrange storage for the gap in between.
Shipments are broken down, combined or staged for the next leg into the destination market.
Delivery is booked to the receiving address, signed for and closed out with a complete document set.

How this desk works
Trade buyers judge housewares on repeatability from one shipment to the next, accurate specifications and a landed cost that does not move. We buy against exactly those tests for retail chains, wholesalers, hotel groups and facility suppliers.
Each category opens into ranges and individual products as we add them to the catalogue.

How this desk works
Electrical items leave no margin for error: one wrong rating, standard or certificate can halt a site. We work outward from the data sheet, confirming each rating, standard and lead time before any price is offered.

How this desk works
Our part in chemicals is commercial rather than technical. We find qualified producers, agree the grade and paperwork with the buyer, and arrange compliant packing, handling and freight all the way to the buyer's plant.

How this desk works
Buying plant is a capital decision. We weigh duty cycle, availability and the delivery route ahead of price: a cheap machine that lands two months late ends up the most expensive one.

How this desk works
Supplying a construction site is a timing exercise. Packages are planned around the programme so they arrive in order: structure first, finishes once the building is ready to receive them.

Route to site
Choose any stage for a summary of our part in it.
Material comes from producers that can certify the grade and standard shown on the drawing.
Price, Incoterms, packing and document requirements are fixed before the goods leave the plant.
Packages are released in the order of the build programme, not in the order that suits invoicing.
Freight, lifting and inland haulage are planned around the real weights and lengths involved.
Materials reach site when the programme calls for them, with mill certificates and delivery notes in hand.

How this desk works
Metal purchases turn on grade, tolerance and delivery date. We buy to the standard on the drawing, check the mill certificates and arrange transport for loads too heavy or too long for standard freight.
