We are physically in Guangzhou
When a supplier needs checking or a shipment needs chasing, we go in person. No remote guesswork, no relying on the supplier's own photos.

Who we are
Not a middleman. A partner on the ground where your products are made.
Errandnese is a sourcing and procurement agency based in Guangzhou — the heart of China's manufacturing and export economy. Since 2020, we have helped businesses, entrepreneurs, retailers, contractors and organisations from South Sudan — and across East Africa — buy from China with confidence.
Our founder, Makur Mangar, is South Sudanese, has lived in China for around ten years and speaks fluent Chinese. That combination matters: we understand what your business needs at home, and we can sit across the table from a factory owner and negotiate in their language.
“China sourcing, made clear.”
Why Errandnese
Why businesses choose us to represent them in China
Sourcing from China fails for predictable reasons: unverified suppliers, language barriers, no one checking the goods. We remove each one.
We negotiate in fluent Chinese
Prices, terms and problems are discussed directly with factory owners in their own language — the difference between a quoted price and a real one.
We know African business realities
Founded by a South Sudanese entrepreneur, we understand your margins, your market and the routes your cargo must travel to reach you.
We verify before you pay
Licences, registration records, export history and factory visits — so your money moves only after the supplier has been checked.
What we do
From first enquiry to delivered cargo
Every service exists to answer one question: can I trust what is happening in China with my order? With us, the answer is documented.
How it works
A sourcing process you can actually see
Seven steps, each documented, each with your approval before the next. Select a step to see what happens inside it.
1. Requirements
You tell us the product, quantity, budget and destination. We ask the questions that prevent problems later.
Founder
A bridge built on experience. A mission driven by purpose.
Founded in 2020 by Makur Mangar, Errandnese was created to bridge the gap between China's manufacturing power and Africa's growing businesses.
Originally from South Sudan and based in Guangzhou for around a decade, Makur speaks fluent Chinese and has spent years inside the factories, markets and negotiations his clients depend on.
