What We Do

Services built
around you

Sourcing is just the start. Negotiation, quality control, shipping coordination, and trade finance — we're your concierge for everything between an idea and a delivered order. The complete works, handled end to end.

Supplier Discovery

Identifying vetted manufacturers matched to your exact requirement.

OEM/ODM Sourcing

Custom-built products to your specs, from design through production.

Private Label Manufacturing

Your brand, our manufacturing network — packaging to formulation.

Factory Audits & Quality Control

On-the-ground inspections and in-line QC checks — before, during, and after production.

Price Negotiation

We negotiate on your behalf, backed by market knowledge and leverage.

Sample Coordination

Managing sample requests, revisions, and approvals before you commit.

Shipping Coordination

Coordinating freight, customs, and logistics from factory floor to your door.

Trade Finance Support

LC structuring, export finance, and payment security, so cash flow is never the bottleneck.

Why RFQ SEA

Not a marketplace.
A real consultant.

On the ground across SEA

Our consultants are based in Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta — we visit factories, not just email them. That changes everything.

No marketplace noise

You're not drowning in unsolicited quotes from unvetted suppliers. You get 3–5 handpicked options with our expert opinion attached.

We speak the language — literally

Negotiating prices, discussing quality tolerances, resolving issues. Our team does this in Thai, Vietnamese, Bahasa, and Tagalog. No middleman confusion.

End-to-end accountability

We don't disappear after making the introduction. We stay involved through sampling, production, QC, and shipping.

Trade Finance

We handle the
financial side
too

Sourcing from Southeast Asia involves more than finding the right supplier — it means navigating payment terms, documentary risk, and cross-border financing across multiple currencies and regulatory environments. Our trade finance advisory removes that friction entirely.

Whether you need LC structuring, advance payment protection, or introductions to export credit facilities in Thailand, Malaysia, or Vietnam, our team has the banking relationships and regulatory knowledge to get it done.

Letter of Credit (LC) Facilitation

Payment Security

We guide you through LC structuring, advise on terms that protect both parties, and liaise with regional banks to ensure smooth documentary compliance.

Supplier Credit & Advance Management

Working Capital

Negotiating favourable advance-payment ratios and credit windows directly with manufacturers — reducing your working capital exposure.

Export Finance Introductions

Financing

We connect you with export credit facilities backed by EXIM banks across Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam, and regional NBFCs offering pre- and post-shipment financing.

Bank Guarantee Coordination

Risk Mitigation

For large orders, we help structure performance guarantees and advance payment guarantees through scheduled regional banks.

Documentary Collections (D/P & D/A)

Documentation

We handle coordination of sight and usance documentary collections — ensuring shipping documents move correctly through the banking chain.

Currency & FX Advisory

FX Risk

Guidance on multi-currency invoicing across THB, VND, MYR, IDR, and USD, hedging exposure, and timing payments to minimise exchange-rate risk.

Client Results

We needed a reliable Vietnamese furniture manufacturer for our EU retail chain. RFQ SEA found us an FSC-certified factory in Binh Duong within two weeks — audit report, pricing, and sample timeline included. Outstanding.

Marta Lindqvist
Boreal Living Group · Sweden 🇸🇪

Thai rubber components at the quality we required sounded simple. Three sourcing platforms failed us. RFQ SEA visited the factories and came back with exactly what we needed — and 18% below our budget.

Theo van der Berg
Precision Seal Industries · Netherlands 🇳🇱

Their knowledge of Vietnamese electronics contract manufacturers is genuinely deep. The comparative report they delivered saved our procurement team six weeks of legwork. We placed our first order within the month.

About Us

Southeast Asia
insiders working
for you

We are a team of trade professionals based across Southeast Asia's key manufacturing centres — Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila. Our consultants have backgrounds in export trade, factory management, and quality assurance.

Unlike online directories or trade portals, we do physical work. We visit factories. We read lab reports. We sit across the table from manufacturers and negotiate.

Our clients are importers, retailers, and procurement teams across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas who have discovered that having a trusted advisor inside Southeast Asia is worth far more than any online shortcut.
