Jining Tianjiu Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Jining Tianjiu Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shandong, offering glove-related products including summer sun protection gloves, winter gloves, wrist-length winter gloves, and customized children’s waterproof ski gloves. Based on the provided data, the company has a moderate physical production base, with a factory area of over 8,200 m² and more than 120 staff, supported by verified supplier status. Its platform credibility is strong, with 21 years as a Gold Supplier and Trade Assurance enabled. However, recent commercial performance appears limited, with only 10+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ transaction value in the past six months. Customer feedback is positive but very limited, with a 5.0 store rating based on only 3 reviews. The most significant concern is delivery performance, with an on-time delivery rate of only 50.0%. This supplier may be suitable for buyers prioritizing platform credibility and moderate manufacturing capacity, but delivery risk must be carefully managed.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis

• Factory location: Shandong, China
• Factory area: 8,200+ m²
• Employees: 120+ staff
• Verified supplier: True

Elaboration

The supplier demonstrates a measurable manufacturing foundation, with a factory size exceeding 8,200 m² and a workforce of more than 120 employees. These indicators suggest that the company is not a very small trading-only operation and has a certain level of production organization. The verified supplier status further supports the existence of a validated business or factory profile on the platform.

However, the available data does not provide additional details such as annual production capacity, number of production lines, machinery list, export volume, or factory audit reports beyond the verified supplier status. Therefore, while the company appears to have a stable mid-sized operating base, the data is insufficient to classify it as a large-scale or highly mature supply chain manufacturer.

Scoring Rationale

The company’s factory area and employee count indicate a medium-sized supplier with basic-to-solid production capability. Verified supplier status strengthens confidence in its operational legitimacy. However, the absence of detailed production capacity, advanced factory certifications, or audit documentation limits the score from reaching the top tier. It fits best within the “medium stable factory” range.

Final Score

16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 21 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Certification / industry tags: “Response time ≤4h”, “On-time delivery 50.0%”
• Verified supplier: True

Elaboration

The supplier has a long platform history, with 21 years as a Gold Supplier. This is a significant credibility indicator because it reflects long-term platform presence. Trade Assurance support also provides buyers with a platform-based transaction protection mechanism. In addition, the supplier is marked as verified, which adds another layer of platform credibility.

That said, the provided certification or industry tag information is limited. The listed tags relate mainly to response time and delivery performance rather than formal product certifications, quality system certifications, or factory audit certificates. Therefore, while platform credibility is strong, compliance documentation appears incomplete based on the available data.

Scoring Rationale

The combination of 21 years Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, and verified supplier status gives this supplier strong platform credibility. However, because no formal compliance certifications or quality management certificates are provided, the score should not be at the absolute maximum. The supplier shows long-term trust signals but lacks a fully documented compliance certification profile.

Final Score

18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis

• Orders in past 6 months: 10+
• Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥67.6K+
• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 3

Elaboration

The supplier has recorded commercial activity in the past six months, but the scale is relatively limited. A transaction value of CN¥67.6K+ and 10+ orders indicates that there is some recent buyer activity, but it does not demonstrate high-volume market validation. The store rating of 5.0 is positive, yet it is based on only 3 reviews, which limits the statistical reliability of the rating.

The business data suggests the supplier may be operating at a modest transaction level on the platform. It has not shown strong evidence of high order volume, high transaction value, or broad customer feedback within the available dataset.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier receives credit for having recent orders, recorded transaction value, and a perfect store rating. However, the low number of reviews and relatively limited transaction value reduce confidence in broad market validation. The business performance is therefore considered low-to-moderate rather than strong.

Final Score

11 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤4h
• Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of ≤4 hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency. This is suitable for standard sourcing communication and initial quotation handling. However, the data does not confirm whether the supplier supports Full Customization. Although one listed product includes the word “Customized” in the product name, this alone is not sufficient evidence of verified full customization capability under the required evaluation standard.

No additional service indicators are provided, such as design support, sample lead time, private label capability, packaging customization, multilingual support, or dedicated account management.

Scoring Rationale

The response time is acceptable but not within the strongest category of ≤1 hour. Since Full Customization capability is not explicitly confirmed, the supplier cannot receive a high service capability score. The supplier appears capable of normal communication but lacks enough data to prove advanced service or customization strength.

Final Score

6 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis

• On-time delivery rate: 50.0%

Elaboration

The supplier’s on-time delivery rate is 50.0%, which is significantly below the 70% threshold defined in the scoring criteria. This is the weakest area in the supplier profile. A 50.0% on-time delivery rate suggests that buyers may face meaningful delivery uncertainty if placing time-sensitive or seasonal orders.

For glove products, especially winter gloves or summer sun protection gloves, timing may be important for seasonal sales cycles. However, based strictly on the provided data, the only confirmed conclusion is that the supplier’s delivery reliability is currently weak.

Scoring Rationale

According to the required scoring standard, suppliers with an on-time delivery rate below 70% should receive less than 5 points. A 50.0% rate represents a clear delivery risk and requires procurement controls such as confirmed lead times, written delivery commitments, staged production tracking, or pre-shipment schedule verification before cooperation.

Final Score

4 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis

• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 3
• Verified supplier / factory verification: True
• Finished Product Inspection: Insufficient Data

Elaboration

The supplier has a perfect store rating of 5.0, which is positive. However, the rating is based on only 3 reviews, meaning the feedback sample is too small to fully validate consistent product quality or service performance. The verified supplier status provides some credibility regarding the supplier’s business or factory profile, but it does not replace product-level quality inspection evidence.

There is no provided information confirming Finished Product Inspection, third-party inspection reports, product testing standards, defect rates, quality control workflow, or quality certifications. Therefore, quality assurance capability cannot be considered fully verified from the current dataset.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier receives a moderate score because it has a high store rating and verified supplier status. However, the very small number of reviews and lack of Finished Product Inspection data limit confidence in consistent quality performance. The quality profile is promising but not sufficiently proven.

Final Score

12 / 20

Total Score

Procurement Recommendation

Recommendation: Conditional Cooperation

Jining Tianjiu Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. can be considered for cooperation, but not as a low-risk primary supplier at this stage. The company has clear strengths in platform credibility, with 21 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. Its factory size and workforce also indicate a moderate production base.

Suitable customer types:
- Buyers seeking glove products from a supplier with long platform history
- Small to medium-volume buyers willing to conduct additional supplier verification
- Buyers who can tolerate moderate operational risk and manage delivery schedules closely
- Customers placing trial orders before scaling up procurement volume

Main risk points:
- On-time delivery rate is only 50.0%, representing a significant delivery reliability risk
- Recent transaction scale is limited, with 10+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ in the past six months
- Customer feedback is positive but based on only 3 reviews
- Finished Product Inspection information is not provided
- Full Customization capability is not clearly confirmed

Growth potential:
The supplier has a solid platform history and a medium-sized factory foundation. If it improves delivery performance, increases transaction volume, and provides clearer quality inspection documentation, it could become a more reliable sourcing option for glove-related procurement. For now, buyers should start with controlled trial orders, require clear production timelines, and consider pre-shipment inspection before larger commitments.
