Dongguan, China
If your brand is growing, backend issues get expensive fast. Stockouts, supplier delays, 3PL mistakes, and poor follow-through can quietly eat your profit margins and slow down scaling. I help 6-to-7 figure/ 7-to-8 figure Shopify brands keep operations tight across suppliers, inventory, and fulfillment. My biggest advantage? I am your boots on the ground. Based in China and Korea, I work in the exact same time zone as your suppliers and factories. I speak their language, push things forward when details start slipping, and can go on-site to handle sampling, production, and pre-shipment checks. Here is how I protect your margins and keep things moving: Supplier & Production Management: • Supplier coordination, negotiation, and daily follow-through • Sampling revisions and strict production tracking • Native-level factory communication (eliminating language & cultural barriers) • Pre-shipment quality checks and on-site factory visits when needed Inventory & Fulfillment Optimization: • Inventory planning and accurate replenishment forecasting • 3PL coordination, shipping issue resolution, and fulfillment troubleshooting • Day-to-day execution across thousands of SKUs Over the past 8+ years, I’ve supported US, EU, and Korean brands across sourcing and daily operations. My role is simple: catch problems early, keep things moving, and make sure execution doesn’t fall apart behind the scenes. Most clients keep me on a monthly retainer because once operations get messy, growth stops. If you are tired of dealing with factory delays or messy 3PLs, let’s schedule a quick chat to see how we can streamline your backend.
