Why choose xingsourcing as your sourcing agent?

Sourcing agents are an important player and a professional bridge between companies and their supply chains. In an increasingly complex economic environment of global trade and manufacturing, sourcing agents play a pivotal role in sourcing and managing the complex channels of selecting supply chains.

What Is A Sourcing Agent?
A Sourcing agent is a person or organization that purchases goods on behalf of a buyer and helps to buy products that the buyer cannot buy. Sourcing agents or sourcing companies are often needed in today's international trade.
In traditional Sourcing, a sourcing agent simply finds suppliers for the client. In fact, the services provided by a sourcing agent can include selecting the right suppliers, negotiating prices, following up on production, quality control, product compliance and testing, transportation, and more. But it does not mean that the sourcing agent or company should provide the full range of services. The scope of work depends on the agreement reached between the two agents.

Why Choose A Sourcing Agent?
Sourcing agents play a coordinating role in identifying potential suppliers, negotiating prices, ensuring quality control or managing logistics, all of which are handled by the Sourcing agent in order to meet the company's needs and achieve a win-win situation for both parties. When dealing with international sourcing, language barriers, cultural differences, market fluctuations, price fluctuations, logistics, etc., the expertise of the sourcing agent is particularly valuable.
If you work with a sourcing agent (your local representative in an overseas market), the sourcing process becomes much easier. They are one of the most effective ways to find the most suitable suppliers, eliminating the risks associated with using unreliable methods to screen suppliers.

What are the advantages of a Sourcing Agent?
Sourcing agents are different from traditional agents in the sense that they will not disclose your information to the suppliers. In the traditional agent, you will not be taken to see the factory, but nowadays, if you need to see the factory, the purchasing agent will contact with the supplier in advance to take you there to see the factory. It should be noted that if the amount of your purchase is less than 1000 dollars, the purchasing agent may not take you to see the factory.

Product range
One of the most significant advantages of working with a sourcing agency is the range of products on offer. If you find a distributor, they will only have a specific range of readily available goods. In contrast, a sourcing agency can offer buyers the option of finding the right supplier for a wide range of products. If the buyer needs further customization they will put the buyer in touch with the best manufacturers to offer you a wide range of products and designs.

Product Customization
Sourcing agents are associated with many suppliers with whom they work and they can customize any product according to the buyer's requirements. They can also find suppliers to place production orders based on the designs provided by the buyer. xingsourcing has many familiar suppliers in the Chinese market and follows a comprehensive set of instructions when selecting suppliers to ensure that you are only introduced to suppliers that can meet your exact requirements.

Cost Effectiveness
If you choose a distributor there is no cap on what they can charge for stock, which means that bids can vary greatly. xingsourcing works closely with the buyer's in-house team to evaluate suppliers based on a number of criteria. Our buyers will help you negotiate better contracts and get the best value for money without compromising on product quality.

Quality Control
xingsourcing has established quality control standards to ensure that only the best products reach our customers. We evaluate our suppliers based on a number of criteria, including corporate social responsibility, ethical sourcing, financial stability, and more. Working with distributors does not yield the same results, as they only handle the finished product and have little to no say in what goes wrong.

It is best to work with an agent who specializes in similar products
When choosing a sourcing agent, it's best to work with one that is experienced in familiarizing themselves with the market. Sourcing agents that are familiar with your market will know how to comply with import and export laws and regulations, which means there will be fewer logistical disruptions. xingsourcing is located in the shoe capital of China, and we work with a number of high quality athletic footwear suppliers, which gives us an advantage over other suppliers for athletic apparel. Pet products and footwear are one of xingsourcing's strengths.
