Shanghai Sencan Industrial Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Supplier Evaluation Report: Shanghai Sencan Industrial Co., Ltd.

Executive Summary

Shanghai Sencan Industrial Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shanghai, offering RFID/NFC-related card products with low minimum order quantities ranging from 10 to 100 pieces across the listed items. The supplier shows a comparatively solid platform profile, supported by 13 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance availability, verified supplier status, and platform tags including Finished Product Inspection, Full Customization, ODM service availability, and Warranty available. Operationally, the company reports a 27,000+㎡ factory area and 40+ staff, indicating a sizeable facility footprint but a relatively modest workforce. Business activity is proven by 200+ orders and CN¥202.8K+ transaction value over the past six months, with a 4.8 store rating and 50+ reviews. The supplier appears suitable for buyers seeking RFID/NFC card products with flexible MOQ, customization support, and moderate transaction validation. Key risks include limited staff-scale visibility and an 88.0% on-time dispatch rate, which is acceptable but not best-in-class.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Final Score: 16 / 20

Basis

• Factory location: Shanghai, China
• Factory area: 27,000+㎡
• Employee count: 40+ staff
• Verified supplier: True

Elaboration

The supplier reports a large factory area of more than 27,000㎡, which suggests a meaningful physical operating base. This is a positive indicator for production organization, storage capacity, and potential scalability. However, the reported employee count is 40+ staff, which is relatively modest compared with the factory footprint. This may indicate a lean operating model, partial automation, outsourced support, or simply limited staffing disclosure; however, no additional data is provided to confirm any of these possibilities.

The verified supplier status strengthens the company’s credibility from a factory or supplier validation perspective. However, no detailed factory audit report, production line count, monthly capacity, equipment list, or management system certification is provided in the dataset.

Scoring Rationale

The company demonstrates stronger-than-basic production credibility due to its large factory area and verified supplier status. However, the staff size is not large, and the dataset does not provide production capacity, machinery, annual output, or internationally recognized factory certifications. Therefore, it fits best within the “medium stable factory” range rather than the “large-scale stable supply chain” category.

Final Score

16 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Final Score: 19 / 20

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier duration: 13 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified supplier: True
• Certification / industry tags:
• Warranty available
• Finished product inspection
• Full customization
• ODM service available

Elaboration

The supplier has a strong platform credibility profile. A 13-year Gold Supplier history indicates long-term platform presence, which is an important trust signal for international procurement screening. Trade Assurance availability provides transaction protection through the platform, reducing payment and delivery-related risk for buyers using -supported purchasing processes.

The supplier also carries multiple operational and service-related tags, including warranty availability, finished product inspection, full customization, and ODM service availability. These tags indicate a more complete platform profile than suppliers with only basic listing status. The verified supplier status further supports credibility.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier meets nearly all key platform credibility indicators: long Gold Supplier tenure, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, and multiple relevant service/quality tags. The only reason the score is not a full 20 is that the dataset does not include detailed third-party audit documents, specific certification names, or compliance certificates beyond platform tags.

Final Score

19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Final Score: 16 / 20

Basis

• Orders in past 6 months: 200+
• Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥202.8K+
• Store rating: 4.8
• Review count: 50+

Elaboration

The supplier has visible recent commercial activity, with more than 200 orders in the past six months. This indicates that the store is actively transacting and has market validation from platform buyers. The reported transaction value of CN¥202.8K+ is meaningful but not exceptionally high, especially when compared with the relatively high order count. This may reflect lower unit-value products or smaller trial and replenishment orders, which is consistent with the listed RFID/NFC card products and low MOQs.

The store rating of 4.8 is positive and suggests generally satisfactory customer experience. The 50+ review count provides some customer feedback base, though it is not large enough to be considered extensive market validation.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier shows stable business activity, supported by 200+ recent orders, a positive 4.8 rating, and 50+ reviews. However, the transaction value is moderate rather than high, and the review base is not extensive. Therefore, the supplier fits the “stable medium-scale transaction” level rather than the highest commercial performance tier.

Final Score

16 / 20

4. Service Capability

Final Score: 8 / 10

Basis

• Response time: ≤4h
• Full customization: Available
• ODM service available: Yes, based on platform tag

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of within four hours indicates acceptable communication efficiency for international sourcing. While it does not meet the highest benchmark of response within one hour, it is still commercially practical for most standard procurement communication cycles.

The availability of Full Customization and ODM service suggests that the supplier can support buyer-specific requirements beyond standard in-stock products. This is particularly relevant for RFID/NFC card products, where buyers may require customized printing, design, or product configuration; however, the dataset does not provide detailed customization scope, engineering capabilities, sample lead time, or design support process.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates solid service capability due to its ≤4h response time and customization-related platform tags. It does not qualify for the top service score because the response time is not ≤1 hour, and detailed service metrics such as quotation speed, sample handling, or after-sales process are not provided.

Final Score

8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Final Score: 8 / 10

Basis

• On-time dispatch rate: 88.0%

Elaboration

The supplier’s reported on-time dispatch rate is 88.0%. According to the scoring standard, an on-time dispatch rate between 80% and 89% falls into the 7–8 point range. This indicates acceptable delivery performance, but there remains room for improvement before the supplier can be considered highly reliable from a delivery execution perspective.

For procurement planning, an 88.0% on-time dispatch rate means buyers should pay attention to lead time confirmation, order scheduling, and buffer planning, especially for time-sensitive or promotional orders.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier performs within the upper part of the 80–89% delivery band. Since 88.0% is close to the 90% threshold but does not exceed it, the appropriate score is the top of this band rather than the 9–10 range.

Final Score

8 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Final Score: 17 / 20

Basis

• Store rating: 4.8
• Review count: 50+
• Finished Product Inspection: Available
• Verified supplier: True
• Warranty available: Yes, based on platform tag

Elaboration

The supplier has a 4.8 store rating, which is a positive indicator of customer satisfaction. The 50+ reviews provide a useful but still moderate base of customer feedback. This level of feedback supports quality confidence but does not yet represent a very large customer review pool.

The Finished Product Inspection tag is a relevant quality assurance signal, indicating that some form of final product inspection is available. The verified supplier status further supports the supplier’s quality credibility from a platform validation perspective. The Warranty available tag also adds a positive after-sales or quality-related assurance element. However, the dataset does not provide detailed inspection standards, defect rates, test reports, ISO certification, product compliance certificates, or customer complaint data.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has good quality indicators: high store rating, moderate review base, finished product inspection, warranty availability, and verified supplier status. However, because the review count is not large and detailed technical quality documentation is not provided, the score remains in the strong but not top-tier range.

Final Score

17 / 20

Main strengths include: - 13 years as Gold Supplier
- Trade Assurance availability
- Verified supplier status
- 27,000+㎡ factory area
- Full Customization and ODM service tags
- Finished Product Inspection and Warranty available tags
- 200+ orders in the past six months
- 4.8 store rating

Main risks include: - Employee count is only disclosed as 40+ staff, which limits visibility into actual production scale.
- On-time dispatch rate is 88.0%, acceptable but below the 90% high-performance benchmark.
- Review count of 50+ is positive but not extensive.
- No detailed production capacity, equipment list, inspection standard, or formal certification documents are provided in the dataset.

Growth potential:
