Who we help

For small businesses, sellers, retailers, and teams that need China and Asia sourcing support.

ZETA is a Columbus, Ohio based sourcing partner for businesses that need China and Asia sourcing support but do not have enough internal purchasing capacity. Some clients need help finding and comparing suppliers. Others need support with product development, samples, QC execution, packaging, customs clearance coordination, or door-to-door delivery.

Business scenarios

Different businesses, same sourcing challenges.

Some clients need a full outside sourcing team. Others already have purchasing support but need extra China-side help with supplier search, product changes, sample review, QC execution, packaging, or delivery coordination.

Amazon and E-commerce Sellers

You need supplier options, reliable samples, FBA-friendly packaging, carton accuracy, and fewer surprises before launch or reorder.

  1. Compare factories beyond unit price
  2. Review samples before placing a production order
  3. Coordinate FBA packaging and labeling requirements

Shopify, DTC, and Product Brands

You need products that feel brand-ready, not generic. We help coordinate materials, packaging, sample changes, and supplier communication.

  1. Develop branded product requirements
  2. Improve packaging and customer experience
  3. Prepare supplier options for growth

Local Stores and Small Retailers

You need custom goods, seasonal products, store merchandise, packaging, or repeat orders without building a sourcing department. We help make overseas purchasing more organized and transparent from first trial order to larger replenishment.

  1. Custom, seasonal, and store-brand sourcing
  2. Retail packaging and barcode planning
  3. Trial orders, reorders, and delivery timeline support

Small Businesses Without a Purchasing Team

You may know what you want to buy, but not how to define specs, contact factories, compare quotes, manage samples, or coordinate shipment. ZETA can operate as your outside sourcing support.

  1. Product need and supplier brief
  2. Factory search and communication
  3. Sample, QC, and delivery coordination

Companies That Need Extra Sourcing Capacity

If your internal purchasing or sourcing team is overloaded or lacks China-side support, we can help with supplier search, quote comparison, product follow-up, packaging details, and logistics coordination.

  1. Overflow sourcing projects
  2. Backup supplier development
  3. China-side communication and follow-up

Any China or Asia Procurement Need

If you need to buy, develop, inspect, package, or ship something from China or Asia, start with a project review. We will tell you what we can handle, what needs a specialist, and what information is required.

  1. Products, components, packaging, kits, or custom goods
  2. Supplier, sample, production, and shipment questions
  3. Door-to-door delivery planning

Promotional and Custom Product Projects

You need logo products, kits, packaging, and delivery coordination with clear communication and realistic production timelines.

  1. Custom product and logo review
  2. Sample and proof coordination
  3. Shipment timing management
