Reality Check

Real challenges of sourcing in Vietnam

Language barrier. Most factory owners speak limited English; specs get lost. We operate in EN/FR/VN through a bilingual PM.

Factory vetting from abroad. No Alibaba equivalent. Many directories list traders, not factories. In 2025 we audited 312 factories on-site, approved 41%.

Quality drift between sample and bulk. The first sample looks great, the 5,000-unit run drifts. Our in-line inspection at 30–40% catches deviations before they scale.
