Case 1 One-Stop Sourcing Solution for Hongqi EQ-5 Auto Parts in Central Asia
Background
A car trading company based in Kazakhstan needed to source spare parts for the Hongqi EQ-5 model to support local vehicle maintenance demand. Due to the lack of local supply, all components had to be imported from China.
Challenge
The client faced several key challenges:
- No reliable local source for Hongqi EQ-5 parts
- Difficulty identifying multiple suppliers across China
- High time and travel costs to visit factories individually
- Complex coordination for sourcing multiple categories of parts
Traditionally, the client relied on international trade shows to connect with suppliers, which was inefficient and time-consuming.
Our Solution
We provided a complete sourcing solution tailored to the client’s needs:
- Matched with over 20 qualified manufacturers across China
- Sourced a full range of required parts, including:
- Front bumper
- Rear light bar
- Radiator
- Headlights
- Consolidated all products under a single FOB shipment
- Arranged delivery via the Khorgos border port for efficient cross-border logistics

- Eliminated the need for international travel
- Simplified logistics through consolidated FOB handling

Case 2 Helping a Car Dealer Increase Vehicle Value with Custom Side Steps
Background
A car trading company in Kyrgyzstan was operating in a highly competitive local market, where many dealers were selling similar vehicle models.
To stand out and improve margins, the client was looking for ways to differentiate their vehicles and offer added value to end customers.
Challenge
The client wanted to introduce upgrades to their vehicles but faced several challenges:
- No clear sourcing channel for model-specific accessories
- Uncertainty about product compatibility and quality
- Difficulty negotiating competitive pricing for small initial quantities
- Lack of experience in selecting the right upgrade products
Our Solution
We worked closely with the client to identify a practical and marketable upgrade strategy:
- Recommended side steps as a high-demand, value-adding accessory
- Sourced from specialized manufacturers in China
- Ensured compatibility with the Dongfeng L7 model
- Negotiated competitive pricing for an initial order of 40 sets
We focused not only on sourcing, but also on selecting a product that could directly enhance the client’s resale value.
Results
- The upgraded vehicles received strong positive feedback from end customers
- The client was able to sell vehicles at a higher price point
- Improved competitiveness in a crowded local market
- Successfully validated a new product upgrade strategy
Ongoing Cooperation
Following the success of the initial order, the client placed four additional orders for different vehicle models and brands.
We continued to support them by sourcing compatible side steps for various models, building a stable and ongoing partnership.
Why It Worked
- Focus on value-added products, not just basic parts
- Strong supplier matching for specialized accessories
- Flexible support for small trial orders
- Understanding of local market dynamics

Background
A trading company based in Brazil specializes in sourcing products for local clients. One of their customers needed to repair a Range Rover Sport L494, but the required parts were not available in the local market.
