End-to-end workflow
Four stages. One accountable partner.
Whether you need one pillar or the full stack, Tendlyn follows a transparent workflow designed for overseas buyers and D2C operators—each stage has clear inputs, deliverables, and an English-speaking lead who owns the outcome.
- 4 Integrated service pillars
- ≤ 48h Hub dispatch after order confirmation
- 1 Account team end-to-end
- 100% QC evidence before release
The four-stage workflow
Each stage has defined inputs, deliverables, and a clear owner on the Tendlyn team.
Stage 1
Discovery & Scope
Map the right entry point for your growth stage
You share product categories, target markets, order volumes, and sales channels—D2C, marketplace, or wholesale. We map which services you need today and what to activate as you scale, so you are not paying for warehouse capacity before you have verified suppliers.
Typical inputs
- SKU list or product brief
- Target landed cost and margin goals
- Compliance markets (US, EU, UK, ANZ)
- Monthly order volume band
Stage 2
Source & Verify
Shortlist factories, audit credentials, sign off samples
For new SKUs we shortlist manufacturers, run on-site audits, and coordinate samples. Existing suppliers can plug directly into our QC and warehouse lanes after a capability review—no need to rip out a relationship that already works.
Typical inputs
- Spec sheets and reference samples
- MOQ and lead-time targets
- Existing supplier contacts (optional)
Stage 3
Inspect, Brand & Store
QC clearance, custom packaging, secure inventory
Goods pass pre-shipment QC with full photo and video evidence. Approved inventory moves into secure storage where custom packaging, kitting, and market-specific labeling happen before anything leaves the building.
Typical inputs
- AQL level and critical defect list
- Packaging artwork and insert copy
- Kitting or bundle rules
Stage 4
Fulfill & Track
Branded dispatch with end-to-end tracking
Orders move from QC-cleared inventory through branded pick-pack-ship within 24–48 hours. Tracking is shared with your team throughout. Returns and inventory adjustments stay visible in one account view instead of scattered across email threads.
Typical inputs
- SKU catalog and order volume bands
- Carrier preferences by market
- SLA targets per region
Mix what you need
Activate one pillar or the full stack—each stage maps to a dedicated Tendlyn service with its own deliverables and SLAs.
