Communication is key to any successful relationship. For us to have good communication between the customer and the manufacturer, a Products Requirements Document is necessary. Sourcing Nova uses this document to design a full procurement plan for the customer’s needs.
Step Two: Order, ship and examine product samples

It is always wise to get samples from three to five top suppliers of the specific product. Sourcing Nova will label the sample with the supplier ID and product information.

All important information, including qualification and perception, is sent to the customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Before we approach suppliers, we want to be sure we have all of the bases covered. This means a questionnaire and evaluation on specific needs. Sourcing Nova wants the order request to be feasible and in-line with our values of high-quality products.

The product specification document is a summary of those requirements and a customer portrait. The document is a consistent reminder of the customer’s needs. The document goes to the manufacturer and will make the procurement process much smoother.

Tip: The purchasing process will only begin after the product requirement document is complete.


Most purchasing agencies will only choose one-way suppliers for their customer base. Sourcing Nova does not. We believe in objective and factual approaches to sourcing products. This should be a two-way agreement, like a good marriage. Those who are working together reluctantly will not find success on either side.

Each side has its own interests. A good relationship will only flourish if both sides are working collectively for the same end.

Coersion on either side is detrimental to the overall relationship.


China has over one million different suppliers. Sourcing Nova uses one percent of those. This helps our position, values and development strategy.

Our position: Sourcing Nova is a purchasing agency. We work with hundreds of different product types. It is not feasible for us to be familiar with all categories of products we source. We choose top manufacturers because of their reputation. These manufacturers earned their reputation with quality and will not sully that reputation with sub-par products.

Our values: Rather than using the means to monitor others, Sourcing Nova starts with the right supplier. We have a defined, systematic process and reference metrics for evaluation. Controlling product quality is easier with a better supplier at the outset. Our plan is to consider everything first. This optimizes workflow and minimizes rush.

Our development strategy: Excellence seeks excellence. Excellent manufacturers look for quality relationships with excellent customers. Sourcing Nova wants the smart and creative buyer who demonstrates a strong growth potential. Success is addictive. If the customer is successful, Sourcing Nova will be as well.


Most buyers looking for Chinese products are limited to Alibaba. The better suppliers do not like or use Alibaba. There may be accounts of these suppliers, but these accounts are inactive. The top suppliers seen on Alibaba are top because they spend money on advertising and not necessarily the products.

Sourcing Nova has more comprehensive information than what a buyer can find with an Internet search. We use industry reports and standards – those standards set by the very suppliers we source from. This is only a small part. We have considerable channels for industry leaders. Our preferred way is to find the foundries of famous brands – and we have several systems to do this very thing.

We use the customer’s purchasing needs to find supplier samples. If the customer likes Alibaba samples, we can get those. Samples go to the buyer for side-by-side comparison.

Because it is on the Internet does not mean it is true. Seeing and holding is believing. Products in your hands are the best way to make a factual and objective decision on a product. The best decisions are made based on thse two elements. Beliefs are important, but Sourcing Nova wants to minimize subjective guesswork on any purchasing.

The best part of this? There is no charge. You pay the procurement and logistics cost of the samples. Sourcing Nova does not profit from samples. Our goal at this point is your business success.


We want to communicate product photography in advance for two reasons:
1. To show the benefits of the product for the buyer;
2. To show the advantages of the product compared to its direct competition.

Sourcing Nova wants you to consider these before asking for photography. It is a hope you have done the product research, read competition’s reviews and devised a complete picture photography requirement.

Sourcing Nova does not consider photography as a way to increase fees nor is it free. We want you to pay the costs of the service – the photographer, sample fees and shipping samples domestically.

There are some trade companies and purchasing agents who will offer free photography. These are not professional photographers with equipment but regular salesmen with no interest in photography.

Sourcing Nova sends your samples to a professional photography studio. A studio with a passion and enthusiasm for the photography craft. This way your product images spring alive.
