Ningyuan County Jianqi Sports Equipment Products Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Ningyuan County Jianqi Sports Equipment Products Co., Ltd. is a China-based sports equipment supplier located in Hunan, with a stated factory area of over 8,800㎡ and more than 200 staff. The company’s listed product range focuses on cycling, motocross, winter outdoor, and bicycle gloves, with low MOQs ranging from 1 piece/set to 2 sets/pairs, indicating suitability for small-batch sourcing and product testing. The supplier is a 1-year Gold Supplier, supports Trade Assurance, and is marked as a verified supplier. It also lists Finished Product Inspection, minor customization, and ODM service availability. However, its recent commercial performance is still limited, with only 20+ orders and CN¥6.7K+ transaction value over the past six months, plus only 3 reviews despite a 4.8 store rating. Overall, this supplier appears suitable for small to mid-sized buyers seeking sports glove products with low MOQ flexibility, while large-volume buyers should conduct further supplier validation before scaling procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Hunan, China
- Factory area: 8,800+㎡
- Employees: 200+ staff
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a stated production site of over 8,800㎡ and more than 200 employees, which indicates a moderate manufacturing base rather than a very small workshop. The verified supplier status provides an additional level of factory credibility. However, the provided data does not include detailed annual output, production lines, machinery lists, capacity utilization, or factory audit reports beyond the verified supplier indicator.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates a reasonably stable mid-sized factory profile based on factory area and employee count. The scale is sufficient to support regular glove-related production, but the absence of detailed production capacity data prevents classification as a large-scale or highly mature supply chain.

Final Score: 16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 1 year
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification / industry tags: Finished Product Inspection, Minor Customization, ODM Service Available, Response Time ≤5h

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility signals, including Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance support, and supplier verification. These are positive for transaction security and basic platform trust. However, the Gold Supplier history is only 1 year, which limits the long-term track record. No external certifications, such as ISO, BSCI, CE, or product-specific compliance certificates, are provided in the data.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has the core platform protections expected for basic cross-border sourcing, but the short Gold Supplier history and lack of disclosed external compliance certifications reduce the credibility score. It is credible at platform level, but not yet strongly proven over a long operating period.

Final Score: 15 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 20+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥6.7K+
- Store rating: 4.8
- Number of reviews: 3

Elaboration
The supplier has recorded some transaction activity, but both order volume and transaction value remain relatively low. A 4.8 store rating is positive, but the rating is based on only 3 reviews, which limits statistical reliability. The provided figures suggest early-stage or small-scale platform sales performance rather than strong commercial validation.

Scoring Rationale
The supplier has evidence of real transactions, but the six-month order volume and transaction value are not high. The small review base means buyer satisfaction data is limited. Therefore, business performance is acceptable but not yet strong enough to support a high confidence score.

Final Score: 11 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Response time: ≤5h
- Customization tag: Minor Customization
- ODM service available
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier’s response time of ≤5 hours indicates a reasonable communication speed, though it does not meet the strongest benchmark of response within 1 hour. The presence of minor customization and ODM service availability suggests some flexibility for product adaptation. However, the data does not confirm Full Customization capability.

Scoring Rationale
Service capability is suitable for standard inquiries, small customization needs, and ODM-related discussions. Since the response time is moderate rather than excellent, and Full Customization is not confirmed, the supplier should be considered service-capable but not top-tier in customization responsiveness.

Final Score: 7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 80.0%

Elaboration
The supplier’s on-time delivery rate is exactly 80.0%, which falls into the 80–89% range. This indicates acceptable but not outstanding delivery reliability. Buyers with strict delivery schedules should clarify lead times, production capacity, and shipping arrangements before placing larger orders.

Scoring Rationale
An 80.0% on-time delivery rate meets the threshold for moderate delivery performance but leaves some risk of delay. It is acceptable for flexible procurement schedules, but not ideal for time-sensitive supply chains.

Final Score: 7 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 4.8
- Number of reviews: 3
- Finished Product Inspection: Listed
- Factory Verification: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a high store rating of 4.8 and lists Finished Product Inspection, which is a positive quality-control signal. Factory verification also supports basic supplier credibility. However, only 3 reviews are available, so customer feedback is too limited to confirm consistent product quality across many orders.

Scoring Rationale
The quality indicators are generally positive, especially Finished Product Inspection and factory verification. However, the very small review count weakens confidence in repeatable customer satisfaction. The supplier shows basic quality assurance capability, but broader feedback data is insufficient.

Final Score: 14 / 20

Total Score

70 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with caution, especially for small-batch trial orders, sample evaluation, and low-MOQ sourcing of cycling, motocross, winter outdoor, and bicycle gloves. The supplier is suitable for small to mid-sized buyers that value low MOQ flexibility, Trade Assurance protection, and basic customization or ODM support.

Key risks include limited transaction history, low six-month transaction value, only 3 customer reviews, a short 1-year Gold Supplier record, and an 80.0% on-time delivery rate. For larger orders, buyers should request samples, confirm production lead times, verify customization scope, and clarify quality inspection standards before scaling procurement. The supplier has growth potential due to its factory size, employee base, verified status, and product focus, but it still requires more commercial and customer-feedback validation.
