What we do

The unglamorous work behind brands that win.

Most stores fail at the supply chain, not the storefront. We start where the margin lives, then build everything else on top of it.

Supplier Sourcing & Vetting

We find, audit and negotiate with manufacturers across Shenzhen, Yiwu, Ho Chi Minh City and Istanbul. Sample testing, factory checks, MOQ negotiation and backup suppliers for every SKU, so a single factory never holds your brand hostage.

Factory auditsSample QCMOQ & pricingDual-sourcing

Product Research & Validation

Demand data, competitor teardown and margin modelling before a single unit is ordered. If the numbers don't work at a 3x ROAS floor, we kill it early.

Creator-Led Growth

UGC pipelines, creator seeding and paid social that compounds instead of burns.

Store Build & Conversion

Shopify storefronts designed around one job: turning a scroll into a checkout. Product pages, offers, bundles, post-purchase flows and the email and SMS that follow.

Fulfillment & Logistics Ops

From dropship to bulk inventory in regional 3PLs. We handle the transition when a winner is ready to scale, so delivery times drop as volume climbs.

How it works

Four phases. No guesswork.

A repeatable playbook we have refined across every launch, from first sample to first exit conversation.

Discover & validate

We map demand, pressure-test margins and shortlist products with real search intent and room for a brand.

  • Demand and trend analysis
  • Unit economics at three price points
01
Week 1 - 2

Source & secure

Shortlisted factories are sampled, audited and negotiated. We lock in pricing, lead times and a backup supplier.

  • 3+ samples per SKU, side by side
  • Written QC standards and terms
02
Week 2 - 4

Build & launch

Brand identity, storefront, creative and creator seeding all land together, so launch week has momentum.

  • Storefront, offers and email flows
  • 20+ creator videos ready on day one
03
Week 4 - 6

Scale & compound

Winners move from dropship into bulk inventory, new markets open, and the catalogue expands around what customers already love.

  • 3PL migration and landed-cost cuts
  • New markets, new SKUs, exit readiness

Our work

Brands we've built and grown.

Small catalogues, obsessive product quality, and customers who film their unboxing without being asked.

We stay quiet as a studio on purpose. The brands get the spotlight, and the spotlight has been good to them.

About us

New studio. Seasoned operators.

Westhaven Crest is our first company under one name, but not our first rodeo. Between us we have spent years sourcing from factories, running ad accounts and selling brands to buyers. We started the studio to do it properly, with partners, from day one.

Anyone can open a store in an afternoon. The brands that last are the ones that got the supplier, the margin and the product right before they ever ran an ad.

Partners, not a vendor

We take on a small number of brands each quarter and tie our upside to yours, so we only win when the brand does.

Supply chain first

Margin is decided at the factory. We spend more time on sourcing than most agencies spend on ads, and it shows in the P&L.

Fast, but not reckless

Six weeks from idea to live store is normal for us. Skipping sample testing to get there faster never is.

Built to be sold

Clean books, documented suppliers and owned audiences from the start. Exit-ready is a habit, not a scramble.
