Purchasing agent · Sourcing · Import management
We act as an extension of your purchasing team in China: finding and validating manufacturers, negotiating terms, coordinating samples and production, overseeing quality and documentation, and managing the import process when required.

When it makes sense
Working directly with factories can be efficient when your company already has the time, resources and experience to control every stage. When that is not the case, EC HolaHome can take on the stages you need and keep the project coordinated from Spain and China.
You need to identify viable manufacturers and understand costs, minimum quantities, documentation and lead times before committing to an order.
We can take on negotiation, follow-up, production coordination, inspections, documentation or logistics.
We can review your current suppliers and, where it makes sense, compare them with other options.
We coordinate specifications, samples, customisation and OEM/ODM manufacturing before moving into production.
Service
We identify factories with real capacity to produce the required product and review documentation, experience, production capacity and the certifications provided before putting them forward as an option.
See the supplier sourcing and validation serviceWe compare alternatives and negotiate price, MOQ, lead times, Incoterms, payment terms and responsibilities so the decision does not rest on unit price alone.
We coordinate samples, prototypes, adjustments and OEM/ODM customisation until there is a sufficiently defined reference before manufacturing.
See product development and manufacturingWe follow the manufacturing schedule and the milestones agreed with the factory to spot deviations before they turn into a delivery problem.
We coordinate inspections and review technical documentation, labelling and applicable requirements together with factories, laboratories and specialised professionals where relevant.
See quality and complianceWhen it is part of the scope, we coordinate freight, import documentation, customs clearance and delivery to keep the process connected from factory to destination.
See all servicesMore than finding a supplier
A competitive quotation alone does not guarantee that an operation will work. Price, specifications, samples, production capacity, lead times, quality control, documentation and logistics are all connected.
You can work with us on the whole process or only on the stages your team needs to reinforce.
You do not need to start from scratch. We can work with manufacturers your company already uses or is evaluating.
Review my operationHow we start
Product, specifications, volume, target market, target cost and current situation.
We determine what HolaHome needs to take on and what your company manages internally.
Suppliers, terms, risks, samples and the requirements needed to make a decision.
We coordinate the contracted stages and document the relevant decisions.
When we manage the full operation, we coordinate the import and capture the learnings for future orders.
We coordinate projects from Spain and China to reduce the operational distance between your team and the factory.
Real experience
A company contacted EC HolaHome after an import operation already underway encountered documentation issues and technical requirements that put the clearance of the goods at risk.
The operation was already at an advanced stage and had to be resolved within a very limited timeframe. The client did not have the internal resources needed to coordinate the documentation, applicable requirements and customs clearance.
We reviewed the situation and the available documentation, coordinated the professionals involved in the operation and managed the steps required to complete the import correctly.
The goods were successfully cleared and delivered. Following the operation, the client decided to entrust EC HolaHome with the management of future imports as well.
