How It Works

From an unclear request to a workable supplier route.

Start with the information you have. We clarify the requirement, assess whether Tianchang is a fit, search locally and help you choose the right cooperation model.

The sourcing workflow

Six practical steps.

The exact workflow changes with complexity. We keep decision points visible so you know what has been checked and what remains open.

Submit the requirement

Send specifications, files, target quantity and timeline through the inquiry form.

Requirement and fit review

We clarify missing details and assess whether Tianchang has a realistic supplier base.

Local supplier search

We check the existing catalog and use local outreach when additional suppliers are needed.

Shortlist and comparison

Relevant supplier responses are organized around capability, quotation and project risk.

Choose the cooperation model

Work directly with the selected factory or appoint 25TC to manage the sourcing project.

Sample, order and follow-up

Scope depends on your chosen model: sample coordination, inspection, production and export support as agreed.

What happens after inquiry

Expect questions before a quotation.

A fast price without a clear specification often creates the wrong supplier match. Our first response focuses on the information needed to make the search useful.

A

Commercial clarity

Target quantity, target price, delivery point, packaging and buying schedule.

B

Technical clarity

Dimensions, materials, performance, drawings, standards and approved alternatives.

C

Responsibility clarity

Who contracts, who pays, who inspects and what 25TC will manage.

Privacy and discretion

Your RFQ is not public catalog content.

Customer names, order documents and non-public technical files are used only for the sourcing work. We do not publish them as testimonials or product examples without permission.

Before supplier outreach

  • We separate general sourcing information from sensitive customer data.
  • We share only what is needed for a supplier to assess the requirement.
  • Additional confidentiality arrangements can be discussed for sensitive projects.

Start with the information you already have.

A photo and target quantity are often enough for an initial direction.
