Zhejiang Gomelong Meter Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Zhejiang Gomelong Meter Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Zhejiang, offering smart meter, prepaid meter, AMI solution, STS management system, and related meter software products. Based on the provided data, the supplier shows a relatively credible platform profile, supported by 16 years as an Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance availability, verified supplier status, and labels including Finished Product Inspection, warranty availability, Minor Customization, and ODM service. The company has over 140 staff, indicating a medium-sized operational base, although factory area data is unavailable. Commercial activity is present but not high-volume, with 30+ orders and CN¥67.6K+ transaction value over the past six months. The store rating of 4.4 with 8 reviews provides some customer feedback, but the review base remains limited. Overall, this supplier appears suitable for buyers seeking verified smart/prepaid meter solutions with moderate customization needs, while larger buyers should conduct further qualification before committing to large-scale procurement.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis:
- Country/region: China, Zhejiang
- Employees: 140+ staff
- Verified supplier: True
- Factory area: Insufficient Data

Elaboration:
The supplier demonstrates a medium operational scale based on the disclosed workforce of over 140 staff. Verified supplier status adds credibility to its basic company profile. However, the absence of factory area information limits the ability to fully evaluate production capacity, facility scale, and potential output stability.

Scoring Rationale:
The company does not qualify as a clearly large-scale supplier because factory area and detailed production capacity are not provided. However, 140+ staff and verified supplier status indicate more than a small trading or limited-production operation. The score reflects a medium-sized, reasonably stable supplier with incomplete facility-scale visibility.

Final Score: 15 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis:
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 16 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Certification/industry labels: Warranty available, Finished Product Inspection, Minor Customization, ODM service available

Elaboration:
The supplier has a long platform history, with 16 years as a Gold Supplier, which is a strong indicator of platform continuity. Trade Assurance availability and verified supplier status provide additional transaction and credibility support. The listed labels also show basic commercial, inspection, and customization-related capabilities.

Scoring Rationale:
This is one of the supplier’s strongest areas. Long Gold Supplier tenure, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, and multiple platform labels create a relatively complete platform credibility profile. The score is not a full 20 because the data does not include detailed third-party factory audit reports, formal certificates, or specific compliance standards.

Final Score: 19 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis:
- Orders in past 6 months: 30+
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥67.6K+
- Store rating: 4.4
- Reviews: 8

Elaboration:
The supplier has recent transaction activity, but the disclosed order volume and transaction value are moderate rather than high. A 4.4 store rating indicates generally acceptable buyer satisfaction, but the review count of 8 is limited, reducing the strength of the commercial validation.

Scoring Rationale:
The supplier shows real transaction history, but the available figures do not support classification as a high-volume or high-transaction supplier. The relatively low number of reviews also limits confidence in broad market acceptance. The score reflects active but moderate business performance.

Final Score: 13 / 20

4. Service Capability

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

Elaboration:
A response time within five hours suggests acceptable communication efficiency, though it is not at the strongest level of within one hour. The supplier supports Minor Customization and ODM service, indicating some ability to adapt products or solutions to buyer requirements. However, Full Customization capability is not confirmed in the provided data.

Scoring Rationale:
The supplier has normal response speed and some customization capability, but the data does not support a top-tier service score. The absence of Full Customization confirmation keeps the assessment in the mid-range.

Final Score: 7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis:
- On-time delivery rate: 83.3%

Elaboration:
The on-time delivery rate falls within the 80–89% band. This indicates acceptable but not excellent delivery reliability. Buyers with strict project timelines should pay attention to delivery terms, lead times, and shipment monitoring before placing larger orders.

Scoring Rationale:
According to the scoring rule, an on-time delivery rate between 80% and 89% corresponds to 7–8 points. Since 83.3% is closer to the lower-middle part of that range, a score of 7 is appropriate.

Final Score: 7 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis:
- Store rating: 4.4
- Reviews: 8
- Finished Product Inspection: Available
- Verified supplier: True

Elaboration:
The supplier has quality-related platform support through Finished Product Inspection and verified supplier status. The 4.4 store rating is reasonably positive, but the small review count limits the strength of the customer feedback evidence. No additional product certifications, defect rates, warranty claim data, or third-party quality reports are provided.

Scoring Rationale:
The quality framework appears acceptable due to Finished Product Inspection and verified supplier status. However, limited review volume and lack of detailed quality documentation prevent a higher score. The score reflects basic quality assurance with moderate customer feedback validation.

Final Score: 15 / 20

Total Score

76 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with controlled risk management. Zhejiang Gomelong Meter Co., Ltd. is suitable for buyers seeking smart meter, prepaid meter, STS system, AMI solution, or related meter software products from a verified supplier with long platform history and moderate customization capability. It is especially suitable for small to medium procurement projects, pilot orders, or buyers requiring Trade Assurance support.

Main risks include insufficient factory area data, limited customer review volume, moderate recent transaction value, and an on-time delivery rate of 83.3%, which is acceptable but not best-in-class. Growth potential exists due to its long presence, 140+ staff scale, ODM availability, and Finished Product Inspection support, but larger-volume buyers should request factory capacity details, inspection records, delivery commitments, and sample validation before scaling orders.
