Yangzhou Huatai Lighting Group Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Yangzhou Huatai Lighting Group Co., Ltd. is a China-based lighting supplier located in Jiangsu, offering solar LED street lights, support poles, outdoor landscape garden lights, galvanized poles, and related lighting products. The supplier shows moderate production capacity, with a reported factory area of 3,400+㎡, 10+ staff, and verified supplier status. Its platform credibility is relatively strong, supported by 5 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance availability, warranty availability, finished product inspection, ODM service, and minor customization tags. Commercial performance is mixed: the supplier has generated CN¥676.1K+ in transactions over the past six months, but only 9 orders and 2 reviews, which limits customer validation depth. Service responsiveness is strong at ≤1 hour, while delivery performance is a concern with a 75.0% on-time dispatch rate. Overall, this supplier is suitable for buyers seeking lighting products with low MOQ options, especially for trial orders or controlled procurement, but delivery reliability and limited review volume should be carefully managed.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis:
- Factory area: 3,400+㎡
- Employees: 10+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Location: Jiangsu, China

Elaboration:
The supplier has a physical factory footprint and verified supplier status, which indicates a basic level of operational presence and platform-recognized supplier validation. The 3,400+㎡ factory area suggests it has some production or assembly capacity, but the reported workforce of 10+ staff is relatively small. This limits evidence of large-scale production capability, especially for buyers requiring high-volume or complex project fulfillment.

Scoring Rationale:
The company demonstrates basic manufacturing capability and verified supplier status, but the employee count and factory scale do not support classification as a large-scale stable supply chain. It is better positioned as a small-to-lower-mid-sized supplier with foundational production capability rather than a high-capacity industrial manufacturer.

Final Score: 12 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis:
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 5 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification/industry tags: Warranty available, Finished product inspection, ODM service available, Minor customization

Elaboration:
The supplier has a solid platform profile, including 5 years of Gold Supplier history and Trade Assurance support. These factors improve transaction credibility and provide buyers with some protection during procurement. The presence of warranty, finished product inspection, ODM service, and minor customization tags further strengthens its platform completeness.

Scoring Rationale:
A 5-year Gold Supplier record, Trade Assurance, and verified supplier status represent strong platform credibility. While the profile includes several useful compliance and service-related tags, the data does not show additional third-party product certifications or broader factory certifications beyond the provided verification and inspection labels. Therefore, the supplier scores strongly but not at the absolute top level.

Final Score: 18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis:
- Orders in past 6 months: 9
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥676.1K+
- Store rating: 4.9
- Reviews: 2

Elaboration:
The supplier has achieved a meaningful transaction value of CN¥676.1K+ over the past six months, suggesting it has completed some commercially relevant deals. However, the order count is low at 9, and the review base is very limited with only 2 reviews. The 4.9 store rating is positive, but the low number of reviews reduces the statistical reliability of the rating.

Scoring Rationale:
The supplier shows some transaction activity and a high store rating, but the low order count and limited customer review volume restrict confidence in sustained market performance. The transaction value prevents the score from being low, but commercial validation remains insufficient for a higher rating.

Final Score: 13 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis:
- Communication response time: ≤1h
- Customization-related tags: ODM service available, Minor customization
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration:
The supplier demonstrates strong communication responsiveness, with a response time of no more than one hour. It also lists ODM service and minor customization, indicating some ability to support customized product requirements. However, the data does not confirm Full Customization capability, so customization strength should be interpreted cautiously.

Scoring Rationale:
Fast response time is a clear service advantage. The presence of ODM and minor customization supports a positive service assessment, but the absence of confirmed Full Customization prevents a top-tier score.

Final Score: 8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis:
- On-time dispatch rate: 75.0%

Elaboration:
The supplier’s on-time dispatch rate falls within the 70–79% range. This indicates that delivery reliability exists but is not consistently strong. For buyers with strict project timelines or installation schedules, this performance level creates a measurable delivery risk.

Scoring Rationale:
According to the scoring standard, a 70–79% on-time dispatch rate corresponds to 5–6 points. Because 75.0% is mid-range and does not reach the 80% threshold, the score remains conservative.

Final Score: 5 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis:
- Store rating: 4.9
- Reviews: 2
- Finished product inspection: Available
- Verified supplier: True
- Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration:
The supplier has a high store rating and quality-related platform tags, including finished product inspection and warranty availability. Verified supplier status also supports a basic level of supplier credibility. However, only 2 reviews are available, meaning customer feedback is too limited to strongly validate long-term product consistency or after-sales reliability.

Scoring Rationale:
The quality framework appears reasonably positive due to finished product inspection, warranty availability, and a high rating. Nevertheless, the very small review base prevents the supplier from being classified as having strong customer-validated quality performance.

Final Score: 15 / 20

Total Score

71 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is conditionally recommended, especially for buyers sourcing solar LED street lights, lighting poles, garden lights, or related outdoor lighting products with low MOQ requirements. The supplier is suitable for trial orders, small-to-medium procurement, and buyers who value Trade Assurance, fast response, ODM availability, and finished product inspection.

Key risks include limited customer review volume, only 9 orders in the past six months, a small reported workforce, and a 75.0% on-time dispatch rate. Buyers should confirm production capacity, delivery schedule, inspection process, and warranty terms before placing larger orders. The supplier shows growth potential through its platform credibility, transaction value, responsive communication, and product inspection support, but larger-scale cooperation should proceed after sample validation or a controlled initial purchase.
