How it works
VELA coordinates the China-side sourcing process while keeping supplier, warehouse, freight-provider and client responsibilities distinct.
Start with your requirements
The process begins with requirements and specifications, then moves through supplier matching, comparable quotations, product approval, order coordination, production follow-up, pre-shipment inspection and shipment preparation. Each stage produces information the buyer can review before the next commercial commitment.
Eight stages
The precise sequence changes by product and project, but specifications, payment details, inspection evidence and responsibility boundaries remain essential.
Plans, BOQ, product list, references, quantities, budget and destination are reviewed.
Suitable specialist suppliers are identified by category, capability, order size and price level.
Specifications and commercial terms are clarified so options can be compared on the same basis.
Products, samples, drawings, payment route, deposits and production requirements are confirmed.
VELA follows supplier schedules and communicates progress or revised dates to the client.
Photos, videos and inspection findings are provided before the client approves release.
Nonconformities are followed up; approved orders can be received and consolidated through a partner warehouse.
VELA coordinates packing, loading and export information with the client’s appointed freight provider.
Commercial boundary
VELA’s income comes from the sourcing service fee paid by the client rather than undisclosed supplier rebates. Supplier payments may be made directly or through VELA by prior agreement. Warehousing, consolidation and freight are quoted separately by third-party logistics providers.

Send the product categories, plans or product list, quantities, references, budget, destination and required dates. VELA reviews the information and identifies the next clarification or quotation step.
Yes. Clients may pay factories directly or pay through VELA, depending on the arrangement confirmed before ordering. The payment recipient, deposit, balance and service fee are documented before transfer.
The applicable fee tier and calculation basis are confirmed before orders are placed. Large projects requiring detailed supplier matching and quotation work may require a USD 200–500 sourcing deposit confirmed in advance.
VELA documents the issue, agrees the appropriate repair, correction or remaking action with the factory, confirms the corrective schedule and updates the client before shipment approval.
The selected freight forwarder or carrier is responsible under its own contract for international transportation. VELA coordinates China-side preparation and communication but is not the international carrier.
