Dongguan Keyi Clothing Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Dongguan Keyi Clothing Co., Ltd. is a Guangdong-based apparel supplier with a reported factory area of 1,500+㎡ and 70+ staff, indicating a small-to-mid-sized manufacturing operation with basic but credible production capacity. The supplier is factory-verified and operates as a 4-year Gold Supplier with Trade Assurance enabled, which provides a moderate level of platform credibility. Its product listings cover women’s clothing, men’s two-piece apparel, sweatpants, and customized sportswear, with relatively low MOQs of 50–100 pieces, making it potentially suitable for small to medium apparel buyers, private-label trial orders, and flexible sourcing programs.

Commercially, the supplier shows strong recent performance, with 200+ orders and CN¥18.2M+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 4.9 store rating and 50+ reviews. Delivery performance is also strong at 95.6% on-time shipment. Key limitations include insufficient data on full customization capability, finished product inspection, detailed factory certifications, and quality management systems.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength — 20 Points

Basis

• Factory location: Guangdong, China
• Factory area: 1,500+㎡
• Employees: 70+ staff
• Verified supplier / factory verification: True
• Product scope includes multiple apparel categories and customized clothing listings

Elaboration

Dongguan Keyi Clothing Co., Ltd. has a documented factory scale of 1,500+㎡ and 70+ employees. This suggests that the company has an established operating base rather than functioning only as a trading storefront. The presence of factory verification further strengthens confidence that the supplier has a physical production setup or verified operating entity.

However, the factory size and workforce indicate a small-to-mid-sized apparel operation rather than a large-scale industrial manufacturer. The provided data does not include production line count, monthly output capacity, machinery details, internal QC team size, or major factory certifications. Therefore, while the supplier demonstrates basic manufacturing strength, there is insufficient evidence to classify it as a large-scale stable supply chain provider.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier exceeds the threshold of a very small workshop due to having 1,500+㎡ factory space, 70+ staff, and verified supplier status. These factors support a stable basic production capability. However, the lack of detailed capacity data, absence of disclosed factory certifications beyond verification, and moderate factory size prevent a higher score in the large-scale category.

Final Score

14 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility — 20 Points

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 4 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified supplier: True
• Certification / platform tags:
• Low MOQ for customization
• Response time ≤4h
• On-time delivery 95.6%

Elaboration

The supplier has a 4-year Gold Supplier history, which indicates an established platform presence but not a very long-term supplier profile. Trade Assurance is available, providing an additional transaction protection mechanism for buyers. The supplier is also marked as verified, adding a layer of credibility regarding business or factory validation.

The platform labels are relevant and commercially useful, especially “Low MOQ for customization,” “Response time ≤4h,” and “On-time delivery 95.6%.” However, the data does not show broader compliance credentials such as ISO certification, BSCI, Sedex, WRAP, OEKO-TEX, or other apparel-related factory or social compliance certifications. Therefore, the platform credibility is solid but not comprehensive.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has the key platform credibility indicators expected from a reliable vendor: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and verification. A 4-year Gold Supplier history is meaningful but not long enough to place the supplier in the highest credibility range. The absence of detailed compliance certifications limits the score.

Final Score

16 / 20

3. Business Performance — 20 Points

Basis

• Orders in the past 6 months: 200+
• Transaction value in the past 6 months: CN¥18.2M+
• Store rating: 4.9
• Number of reviews: 50+

Elaboration

The supplier shows strong recent business activity. More than 200 orders in six months demonstrates active buyer engagement and recurring transaction flow. A six-month transaction value above CN¥18.2M is a significant commercial indicator, especially for an apparel supplier offering relatively low MOQs.

The 4.9 store rating is high and suggests positive buyer satisfaction. The review count of 50+ provides some validation, although it is not a very large review base relative to the order volume and transaction amount. The combination of high transaction value, strong order activity, and high rating supports a favorable business performance assessment.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier qualifies for a high score due to strong six-month order volume, high transaction value, and a strong 4.9 rating. The only reason for not assigning a near-perfect score is that the review count is moderate rather than extensive, and the available data does not provide repeat customer ratio, dispute rate, refund rate, or buyer geography.

Final Score

18 / 20

4. Service Capability — 10 Points

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤4h
• Platform tag: Response time ≤4h
• Platform tag: Low MOQ for customization
• Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of ≤4 hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency for international sourcing. This is suitable for standard procurement inquiries, price confirmation, sample discussion, and order follow-up.

The platform label “Low MOQ for customization” suggests some level of customization support, especially for buyers seeking smaller custom apparel runs. However, the provided data does not explicitly confirm “Full Customization.” There is no information on design development, tech pack handling, fabric sourcing support, logo methods, private label packaging, or sample lead time. As a result, service capability can be considered functional but not fully verified at an advanced customization level.

Scoring Rationale

A response time within four hours is positive, but the highest score range requires response time of ≤1 hour and confirmed strong customization capability. Since Full Customization is not explicitly stated and service details are limited, the supplier fits the normal-response and basic customization-support category.

Final Score

7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance — 10 Points

Basis

• On-time delivery rate: 95.6%

Elaboration

The supplier’s reported on-time delivery rate is 95.6%, which is strong and exceeds the 90% benchmark for top-tier delivery performance under the provided scoring framework. This suggests that the supplier generally maintains reliable shipment execution and order fulfillment discipline.

For apparel sourcing, consistent delivery is especially important because buyers often work around seasonal launches, promotional schedules, and inventory planning cycles. A 95.6% rate indicates that the supplier is likely suitable for buyers requiring dependable delivery performance, based strictly on the provided platform data.

Scoring Rationale

According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. Since the supplier’s rate is 95.6%, it falls clearly within the highest range. A perfect score is not assigned because the data does not include average lead time, delay causes, seasonal capacity stability, or historical delivery trend.

Final Score

9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback — 20 Points

Basis

• Store rating: 4.9
• Reviews: 50+
• Verified supplier / factory verification: True
• Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data
• Detailed quality certifications or QC system data: Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier has a high store rating of 4.9, which is a positive indicator of customer satisfaction. The 50+ reviews provide some evidence of buyer feedback, though the review volume is moderate rather than large. Factory verification also adds credibility to the supplier’s operational legitimacy.

However, the provided data does not confirm Finished Product Inspection, internal QC procedures, third-party inspection acceptance, defect rate, product testing, or apparel-specific quality certifications. For apparel procurement, these missing details are important because quality consistency can vary by fabric, stitching, sizing, labeling, and finishing standards. Therefore, while customer feedback is positive, the quality assurance system is not fully evidenced.

Scoring Rationale

The high rating supports a favorable score, and the review base is sufficient to provide some buyer validation. Factory verification further strengthens confidence. However, the absence of Finished Product Inspection information and detailed quality assurance documentation prevents the supplier from reaching the top score range.

Final Score

15 / 20

Total Score

Procurement Recommendation

Recommendation: Recommended for conditional cooperation.

Dongguan Keyi Clothing Co., Ltd. appears suitable for small to medium-sized apparel buyers, private-label trial orders, low-MOQ customization programs, and buyers seeking suppliers with active transaction history and reliable delivery performance. The supplier’s strengths include strong recent sales activity, CN¥18.2M+ transaction value over six months, 200+ recent orders, 4.9 store rating, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, and a strong 95.6% on-time delivery rate.

The main risks are the limited disclosed factory scale, absence of detailed production capacity data, insufficient information on Full Customization, and insufficient data on Finished Product Inspection or formal quality management certifications. Before placing larger or long-term orders, buyers should request production capacity details, sample approval, QC process documentation, inspection standards, and clarification of customization capabilities.

Overall, the supplier shows good commercial momentum and platform credibility, with growth potential for flexible apparel sourcing, especially where low MOQ and reliable delivery are priorities.
