“Our goal is to become our clients’ most valuable business development resource. Honesty, Integrity and Transparency are embedded into our business and culture.”

BaySource Services
New Product Introductions
A methodical approach to identifying, verifying and qualifying potential new suppliers based on 20+ years of experience of understanding China’s manufacturing clusters by industry and applying our Sourcing Funnel (link) to find best in class fit based on clients’ certifications, materials, and quality standards.
Process Improvement
Many clients have invested a few years of working with a specific factory or supplier yet not achieving desired results. Whether ongoing quality concerns, continued missed deadlines, lack of urgency and overall communication challenges, we can generally get to root cause issues and implement CPIs for immediate results.
Supplier Due Diligence
Whether a new or existing factory there is no substitute for on-site audits to confirm experience, assets (plant, property & equipment), staffing and a commitment by ownership and management to meet client needs.
Factory Turnarounds
Clients have invested time, capital and learning curve to developing a factory and often time it makes most sense to continue working with a supplier who seems to be committed yet falling short of expectations. Our team brings three decades of manufacturing and process expertise to the table. By quantifying to factory owners how they can become more profitable and even grow their business we gain the trust of owners and managers in a non-threatening approach that becomes a win-win.
Quality Audit & Pre-Shipment Inspection
“You can’t inspect quality into finished goods” is part of our vernacular. By establishing a Quality Assurance (QA) program on the front end, suppliers can avoid Quality Control (QC) challenges that lead to increased costs for them and substantial financial exposure for the client.
Vendor Management
Our clients have hundreds of thousands of products moving through their supply chains. In many cases multiple factories are producing parts for a single finished product. With deadlines being critical to any business we provide daily visibility via a single dashboard using Smartsheets which are populated and maintained by our team. Highlighted are any variances to originally scheduled production and ship dates so clients are in the know in real time.

I've known David since 1993. David is high integrity and hard working in every undertaking. I've worked with Baysource on several outsourcing initiatives through the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG). They know this market very well and have become an important resource for me as I evaluate investment opportunities and cost saving opportunities in Asia.
We hired Baysource during our transitioning phase to outsource our manufacturing. Their adaptiveness to the economic conditions surrounding our industry and customers as well as keen eye to detail were superb. David Alexander is one individual who can step right into any situation and see the forest through the trees. He's a systemic thinker, visionary, focused, personable and results driven. I would recommend Baysource without reservation.
David, is a young remarkably talented businessman. Highly successful, with a true sense of business reality and business skill sets. His business and knowledge of China is excellent and Baysource offers significant help to companies wanting to develop in China. What impresses me most about Baysource is their clear and constant communication combined with China business acumen.
I have known David for several years now both personally and professionally. He always does what he says he will do - every time. Further he has strong business problem solving skills. He and Baysource are an invaluable resource for any company doing business in China.
David was able to listen to our business problems and developed low cost solutions and alternatives to help our business and profitability.
We worked with Baysource on several projects and their knowledge and follow through are exceptional.
Through my business relationship with David, I found him to be a man of integrity, professionalism and energy. His real experiences in doing business in China, and good understanding of Chinese social norm and culture have made him one of the best China sourcing professionals in Florida. I highly recommend David to any company that wants to source manufacturing services.
David utilized his experience as a manufacturer and business owner to launch BaySource, recognizing the need for small and mid-sized companies to be able to leverage the benefits of doing business in China. As a founding member in 2004, David and BaySource have built a reputation for providing invaluable project management on a platform of honesty and integrity. I recommend anyone even considering a project in China consult with David and BaySource.
