I am an experienced China-based full-time sourcing agent with solid cross-border procurement background from Alibaba Group, specializing in multi-category factory sourcing, on-site factory inspection, cost negotiation, quality control and Amazon FBA order support.
I deliver end-to-end sourcing solutions for US, EU and Southeast Asia DTC brands, with rich practical experience covering wellness orthopedic products, memory foam mattresses, premium apparel & golf headwear, cosmetic packaging, compression vacuum sofas, agricultural industrial machinery and novelty gag props.
My service scope includes but is not limited to:
Multi-channel Supplier Sourcing & Vetting
I locate and verify reliable direct manufacturers via 1688, Alibaba International, Made-in-China and offline industrial zones across China. For every product line, I screen at least 3–5 qualified genuine factories, collect formal quotations, MOQ, lead time and certification documents, then organize a clear comparison report to help you secure balanced low cost and stable high quality.
Full Lifecycle Order Coordination
Negotiate favorable FOB/CIF pricing and flexible order terms on your behalf; manage full sample development from initial prototype to final approval; conduct pre-production inspection, inline quality check and pre-shipment audit to avoid defective goods; track mass production progress and send regular progress updates.
Compliance & Export Documentation Support
Familiar with EU REACH, Australian flammability standard, CE/ISO certification and DR-CAFTA trade rules for Dominican Republic & US shipments. I assist with all export paperwork, cargo consolidation and logistics arrangement for Amazon FBA or sea freight to global ports.
Long-Term Supply Chain Management
Maintain long-term cooperative factory networks; build and update standardized supplier information database; handle continuous vendor communication for 6+ month ongoing hourly projects with over 30 working hours per week available.
My core competitive advantages over general sourcing freelancers
Former Alibaba staff with professional cross-border brand operation experience, deep insight into Chinese factory operation logic and e-commerce brand demand.
Able to travel cross-province for on-site factory audit; fluent native Mandarin + professional business English for barrier-free communication with manufacturers and overseas teams.
Flexible billing modes for all cooperation types: hourly rate, all-in fixed project fee or 6% commission (available for orders above USD 20,000). Travel expenses for factory visits are excluded from flat project fees and settled separately.
Long-term cooperation oriented, not limited to one-time small orders; I prioritize stable supply chain risk reduction and consistent product quality for your repeated bulk shipments.
I am detail-oriented, responsive and result-driven, ready to start immediately and provide transparent, efficient sourcing support for your Amazon FBA and global import business.
Professional China Sourcing Agent with Alibaba Group working background, skilled in 1688 & offline factory vetting across wellness furniture, apparel, cosmetic packaging, industrial machinery and novelty items. I screen multiple direct manufacturers, negotiate competitive pricing, manage full sample & QC process, handle export compliance and Amazon FBA logistics. Fluent Mandarin & English, available for long-term 6+ month hourly projects, flexible fixed-price / commission billing options.

𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 with over two decades of experience helping businesses stay organized, accurate, and efficient. I've completed 2,500+ projects on Upwork for clients in healthcare, real estate, ecommerce, SaaS, legal, and finance — and I run a small, trained team through my company, Login Services, so I can scale up without losing quality control or a single point of contact.
Clients typically come to me for clean data, qualified leads, or dependable day-to-day support. Here's how I handle each one.
𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 & 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 —
I handle high-volume, high-accuracy data work — invoice entry, CRM record updates, database cleanup and deduplication, PDF-to-Excel/Word conversion, product listing uploads, batch proof reports, and structured data extraction from websites, PDFs, directories, and scanned documents. Every batch goes through a multi-step quality-control pass — format checks, duplicate detection, and a final accuracy review — before it reaches you, so you're not the one catching my errors after the fact. I also handle manual transcription (general, business, and legal/medical), captioning, and timestamping when a project calls for them.
𝐁𝟐𝐁 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 —
I build targeted, verified contact lists using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha, SalesQL, and Crunchbase — filtered by industry, company size, revenue, geography, decision-maker role, technology stack, funding status, or hiring activity. Beyond just sourcing names, I do data enrichment, contact verification, and CRM upload, so the list lands in your pipeline ready for outreach rather than a raw spreadsheet you still have to clean and check yourself. I've built lists for founders, marketing managers, HR professionals, and purchasing teams across healthcare, technology, real estate, manufacturing, and professional services.
𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 —
This is the core of what I do day-to-day: email and calendar management, online research, CRM maintenance (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho), file organization, meeting agendas, reporting, form completion, and general administrative support. I also work in two specialized lanes where accuracy and confidentiality matter more than usual:
— 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: EMR data entry, records management, insurance verification, preauthorization requests, prescription refill coordination, scheduling, and medical transcription. I'm HIPAA-aware and treat patient data with the discretion it requires.
— 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: legal document review and transcription, filing, PACER and CM/ECF research support, legal pleadings formatting, process documentation, and correspondence drafting.
𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 —
Product listings and bulk uploads, inventory and stock updates, order fulfillment coordination, shipping label management, and catalog consistency across Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, Etsy, and BigCommerce. I've also supported Amazon-specific work — FBA coordination, listing optimization, and competitor research using Helium 10 and Jungle Scout — for sellers who need their catalog kept clean at scale.
Industries I've supported —
Healthcare, real estate, ecommerce, SaaS, technology, finance, education, legal, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, retail, and construction. Different industries carry different compliance and formatting expectations, and I adjust rather than treat every project the same way.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 —
Most engagements start with a short kickoff to confirm format, tools, and delivery cadence, then move to a small trial batch or sample deliverable so you can check quality before committing to volume. For ongoing work, I send regular progress updates rather than going quiet until the deadline — you shouldn't have to ask where things stand.
Tools I work in —
Microsoft Excel & Office, Google Workspace, Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Airtable, Notion, Trello, Asana, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, WooCommerce, WordPress, and standard OCR/PDF conversion tools.
Why clients stick around —
— Fast turnaround without cutting corners on accuracy — I'd rather flag a delay early than deliver something wrong on time.
— Clear, proactive communication. If something looks off in your data or instructions, I ask before I guess.
— Confidential handling of sensitive data, with extra care on medical and legal work.
— Able to scale from a solo task to a multi-person project through Login Services, without losing the quality control that comes from one person owning the relationship.
If you need someone to take data entry, lead generation, or day-to-day admin off your plate — reliably, without hand-holding — I'd be glad to help. Message me and let's talk about what you need.

In the age of AI, anyone can find a list of suppliers in seconds. But finding a factory that actually delivers what they promise—without hidden technical risks—is harder than ever. I bridge the gap between online data and what’s actually happening on the factory floor.
Why Work With Me?
I bring over a decade of "boots-on-the-ground" experience in complex machinery and electronics. I don’t just "middleman" deals; I use my engineering background and ISO quality standards to vet suppliers through a technical lens. I speak the language of engineers and the language of business, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
I currently operate my own sourcing firm, providing professional-grade infrastructure for clients who need more than just a basic agent.
How I Deliver Value:
* Smart Sourcing & Factory Matchmaking: I combine AI market tools with my own technical database to match you with the exact right manufacturers. I don’t just look at prices; I evaluate their technical limits, specialized equipment, and alignment with your specific project requirements (e.g., dedicated production lines).
* Technical Risk Control: I catch the "red flags" that standard sourcing agents miss—long before the deposit is paid.
* Engineering Insights: Expert in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback, cost breakdowns, and resolving complex technical discrepancies across global trade environments.
* End-to-End Execution: From supplier qualification and factory audits to final quality inspections and shipping logistics.
I bring structured thinking, bilingual precision, and a "zero-compromise" attitude toward quality. My goal is to protect your investment and ensure your supply chain runs like a well-oiled machine.

Welcome, and before you read another word, here's why this profile is different from the hundreds of others you've probably already scrolled past:
✔ 18,000+ hours logged
✔ 790+ satisfied clients served
✔ $400K+ earned through my individual profile
✔ $400K+ via my agency profile
✔ 4.9★ average rating from 96%+ of our clients
✔ 65+ full-time expert-level staff on board
That's not a pitch, that's just the track record.
I'm Murtaza Amin, and I've spent the last 15+ years doing one thing really well: helping businesses take control of their data. Messy CRMs, outdated contact lists, duplicate records nobody's touched in years, lead lists that bounce more than they convert. This is the kind of work my team and I live in every single day.
My core focus is data mining, data appending, and CRM cleaning, not because it sounds impressive, but because clean data is the foundation on which everything else is built. Bad data means wasted ad spend, missed follow-ups, and sales teams chasing leads that go nowhere. We fix that.
Beyond the data side, my team also handles building automation scripts, automated data pulls, workflow setups, and eliminating repetitive manual work that quietly eats hours every week. If your team is doing something by hand that should be running on its own, there's a good chance we can build something to handle it.

Quality guarantee: email bounce rate consistently under 2–3%

Over 790+ clients have trusted us with their data. The feedback is consistent 5-star reviews, long-term retainer relationships, and clients who come back project after project. You can check the reviews, test scores, and portfolio below yourself. We'd rather show you than tell you.
We're not just freelancers you hire once and forget. We work like a strategic partner someone who actually cares whether your CRM is clean, your leads convert, and your team isn't wasting time on things that should be automated.
If any of that sounds like what you need, just send a message.
Happy to start with a small trial and let the work speak for itself.
