What seasonal international does

Seasonal International, Inc. is a family-owned professional services firm that provides sourcing, procurement, logistics, quality control, consulting, and product development services for companies importing products from Asia. Founded in 1996 by David Wegscheid after a 37-year career as a Divisional Vice-President at a major department store chain, the company is headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and operates additional offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Huangyan, China, with stated plans to expand deeper into China near Beijing and into India. The firm targets small and medium-sized businesses seeking to outsource production to Asia, as well as companies already sourcing from overseas that want better pricing, quality, or supplier relationships; it claims cost savings of up to 70% versus US production and 'hundreds of millions of dollars' in cumulative customer savings over its operating history.

The company's core deliverable is an integrated sourcing engagement rather than discrete software modules: it identifies and qualifies suppliers, places and monitors production orders, manages factory quality inspections, coordinates logistics, and supports product development from concept through marketing, acting as an extension of the customer's procurement function. Its service model relies on a lean US footprint with the majority of investment directed into experienced Asian field personnel who maintain continuous in-factory presence. Competitive positioning is built on deep, decades-old factory relationships in China (described in terms of 'guanxi'), a low-overhead cost structure, and long-tenured staff trained personally by a Director of Overseas Operations with 20+ years of Asia experience.

Seasonal International generates revenue through professional services fees tied to the value of products sourced and the scope of services provided for each customer, with pricing quoted on a custom basis rather than published. The go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven: customer acquisition comes from existing customers, friends, and industry contacts, with no formal marketing budget, no marketing programs, and direct outreach handled by the owners (David Wegscheid as CEO and Keith Wegscheid as President). The company has no outside institutional investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates as a privately held Michigan corporation serving a primarily North American customer base that sources from East Asian manufacturers.
