Your person in the city for the whole project
A Chinese-speaking assistant runs your operations on the ground: overseeing the supplier, accepting samples, meetings, calls and reports into the chat.
- From ¥5 000
- Reply in ~7 minutes
- Start within 3–5 days
- One person for the project
What you get
The project has someone on the ground, so you don't fly out for every question.
The supplier knows the shipment is being watched, and behaves differently.
You get regular reports with photos, not “all fine” in a chat.

A case study and reviews
Severny Sklad, a company
Guangzhou · buying a seasonal batch
The task
Overseeing three factories on a seasonal batch, with flying out monthly impossible.
What Panda did
We assigned a part-time assistant: weekly visits, sample inspection, photo reports and a call whenever a deadline slipped.
The outcome
The batch shipped on time, and the defects were caught on samples, not in a Moscow warehouse.

Task: onboarding a new supplier
“The assistant caught discrepancies in the specification before shipment.”

Task: run operations without flying out
“I stopped flying out monthly. Photo reports answer more than the trips did.”
Questions and objections
An interpreter works at the meeting. An assistant runs the work between meetings: calls, trips, checks, reminders and reports. That's operations, not language.
Monthly through Panda, the first payment after the format is agreed and you've met the assistant.
The first month is a trial: if it doesn't work out, we swap the person at no extra matching fee.
Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Yiwu and Ningbo are the main ones. Elsewhere we match to the project — just ask.
