Most NPI failures aren't engineering problems. They're control problems.
PSeeing places an experienced NPI director on the ground in Shenzhen — managing supplier selection, DFM alignment, BOM cost, tooling trials, and production ramp. We replace hidden factory kickbacks with documented execution discipline.
Zero factory kickbacks. We charge a fixed retainer and milestone fees. Factories do not pay us — you do. That keeps incentives where they belong.
Bilingual NNN enforcement. IP stays partitioned across separate factories. No single supplier ever holds the full picture of your product.
On-site T0–T2 supervision. We stand in the tooling workshop, inspect first articles, and track open issues until they are closed — not until someone apologizes.
Shenzhen · Greater Bay Area
When sourcing, engineering, and manufacturing decisions drift apart, timelines collapse.
NPI programs rarely fail through a single visible mistake. They degrade through gaps in supplier judgment, technical alignment, tooling follow-up, and production communication — gaps that widen when no one is on-site to close them.
The supplier said "no problem" — then missed T1 by three weeks with no advance warning.
The quote looked competitive on paper. Tooling change orders doubled the unit cost before EVT.
IP walked across the street. No NNN, no partitioned manufacturing, no practical recourse.
These aren't edge cases. They're the default when no one is on the ground.
Here is where we step in.
Supplier Vetting
Screen suppliers for fit, capability, and execution reliability before time is lost on the wrong counterpart.
Outcome: Shorter shortlists. Fewer surprises.
DFM Alignment
Surface manufacturability risks before they become tooling issues, sample rework, or preventable delay.
Outcome: Tooling feedback before tooling commitment.
BOM Optimization
Assess cost structure and viable local alternatives without treating quote comparison as a price-only exercise.
Outcome: Cost clarity. Local alternatives assessed where they hold.
Production Follow-up
Keep open items visible across tooling, samples, and production coordination until they are actually closed.
Outcome: Open items tracked until closed. Not until someone says sorry.
Why PSeeing replaces a traditional sourcing agent.
Traditional Agent
PSeeing NPI
Traditional Agent: 5–10% hidden factory commission built into unit pricing.
PSeeing NPI: Zero kickbacks. Fixed retainer + milestone NRE + transparent volume commission.
Traditional Agent: WhatsApp-level accountability. Decisions live in chat threads.
PSeeing NPI: Documented decisions. Email-first audit trail. Structured issue tracking.
Traditional Agent: Single-factory dependency. One supplier holds the entire product IP.
PSeeing NPI: Split manufacturing across separate factories. Partitioned IP exposure.
Traditional Agent: "I asked them to fix it."
PSeeing NPI: "Here is the T1 inspection report. 12 issues tracked. 8 closed. 4 with open follow-up."
Insights
We publish practical perspectives on supplier control, DFM discipline, tooling decisions, and execution risk during NPI.
If your team needs tighter execution, clearer supplier control, or more disciplined follow-up, we should talk.
No retainer commitment upfront. The first conversation is a structured diagnostic. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you directly.
Project Overview
Share the product category, current stage, and where execution feels least controlled.
Current Challenge
Outline the supplier, DFM, tooling, cost, or production issue that needs direct follow-up.
Expected Timeline
Set the timeline and operational pressure points so priorities can be scoped clearly from the start.
Discussions handled directly. No automated follow-up sequences.
