What we are working with

Manufacturing intelligence

The technologies and factory capabilities we are actively working with right now. When something new enters our network, we publish it here first so you know what is available before most manufacturers do.

We are manufacturing products with the Nordic nRF54L15 — the new industry standard for AI-capable connected devices

The nRF54L15 is Nordic Semiconductor's newest ultra-low-power System-on-Chip, launched in late 2024 and now becoming the benchmark for connected smart products. Built on a 22nm process node, it features a 128 MHz Arm Cortex-M33 processor alongside a dedicated RISC-V co-processor, delivering double the performance of its predecessor, the nRF52840, at significantly lower power consumption.

The chip supports Bluetooth 5.4, Matter, Thread, and Zigbee, with PSA Certified Level 3 security and sub-1µA sleep current. These specifications make it the right choice for any product that needs long battery life, robust wireless connectivity, and on-device AI or machine learning processing in a small form factor.

Because the nRF54L15 is still new, most contract manufacturers have not yet qualified it into their production lines. Amora has already identified and vetted Shenzhen factories currently working with this chip. If you are designing a smart wearable, IoT device, health monitor, or connected accessory that needs nRF54L15 capability, we can connect you with a qualified manufacturer now, before the wider market catches up.

Ideal for: smart rings and bracelets, health and medical monitors, connected accessories, industrial IoT sensors, and any product requiring Bluetooth LE, Matter, or Thread with advanced edge processing.

What we do

End-to-end manufacturing management

Most brands lose money working with Chinese factories on three things: opaque pricing, overpromised capability, and quality issues that surface after the container has shipped. Amora sits in Shenzhen so you do not have to.

❦

Factory sourcing and vetting

Qualified factory matches against your product brief. Every candidate is verified to your standards, with a verification pack covering business license, capability, and red flags before reaching your shortlist.

◆

Production management

Full production oversight from first order through every reorder. Tooling, sample iteration, firmware handoff, certification timelines, and milestone tracking, all under one bilingual project manager.

●

Quality control

Pre-shipment inspections, in-line production checks, and packaging reviews performed before any container leaves port. Retainer clients receive flexible QC tailored to the complexity of each program.

▲

Negotiation and contracts

Price checks, NRE and tooling scrutiny, payment term analysis, and contract review. We sit in Shenzhen every week and know which line items are negotiable at each factory tier.

✶

Prototype and new product development

For smart devices and new product launches, we coordinate firmware teams with factory engineers, including SoC platforms, sensor integration, certification planning, and sample iteration rounds.

⬢

Shipping, freight, and logistics

Freight forwarder coordination, CBU and CKD shipping analysis, sample consolidation, and dropship arrangements on every order, whether under a retainer or a standalone engagement.

How we work

Four steps from brief to shipment

A clear process you can enter at any stage. The structure below is what a typical engagement looks like. Every client receives a tailored proposal once we have the product details.

01

Brief and proposal

You send a product brief or we build one together on a short call. We come back with a formal proposal scoped to your product and the pricing model that fits it.

02

Factory match and verification

We run targeted outreach, shortlist candidates from our network, and present the matched factory with a full verification pack: capability, business license, audit notes, and any red flags.

03

Production and QC

You place the order. We monitor production, run quality inspections at the right stages, coordinate sample iteration, and track every milestone on your behalf.

04

Ship and scale

We coordinate shipping and freight on every order. As your program grows, our support scales with it.

Transparent rates

Three ways to work with us

What you pay depends on what you need. Sourcing an existing product costs you nothing. A simple custom product carries a small one time fee. Technology and new product development run on a monthly retainer.

Starting a retainer

How a retainer starts

You pay 50% of the first month to begin. We vet factories and send you a spreadsheet of your factory options with their prices, estimated timelines and any other information you ask for. If you are happy with it, the other 50% is due and we draft an agreement for the length of the project. If you are not, you can stop at any time, keep the spreadsheet, and owe nothing more.

How commission works, and who pays us

Commission applies to production orders on product development projects: 3 to 8% for simple products and 2 to 4% for retainer clients. The larger the order, the lower the rate, and your first test run is commission free. On these projects we take no commission from the factory. On sourcing only work it is the other way round: the factory pays us and you pay nothing. See how each model works.

Every engagement is a formal proposal

Tailored to your program. The prices above are base structures. Every client receives a formal proposal once we understand the product, scope, and timelines. Most engagements are negotiated around the rates above rather than taken at face value.

No surprises on costs. Factory fees, NRE, tooling, certification, and freight are always line items paid directly to the relevant party. Amora's fee is separate and clearly defined in every proposal.

Quality control is included. Both retainer tiers include quality control. The scope and frequency scale with product complexity and are agreed in your formal proposal.

Common questions

What clients usually ask

Is sourcing really free?
Yes, when you want an existing product sourced and bought from a factory, including with your own logo or packaging added. You pay Amora no fee and no commission. The factory pays us a commission on your order, and we tell you that upfront. Because the service is free, we ask for a completed brief before we start, which you can send through our quote form.
What does a simple custom product cost?
Simple products such as plush toys, custom clothing, posters, keychains and stickers carry a one time fee of $500 to $1,000 depending on complexity. Very simple items start from $100. You pay half to begin and half when you approve the sample. If you are not happy with our work, you can stop there and the balance is not due. Production orders carry a 3 to 8% commission, and your first test run is commission free.
How does the retainer work?
The retainer is for technology prototypes and brand new products, which take months to develop. There are two tiers with the same service: Starter at $1,000 a month for one project at a time, and Growth Partner at $2,400 a month for up to three projects at once. You pay 50% of the first month to begin. We vet factories and send you a spreadsheet of your factory options with their prices and estimated timelines. If you are happy with it, the other 50% is due and we draft an agreement for the length of the project. If you are not, you can stop at any time, keep the spreadsheet, and owe nothing more. Commission on production is lower for retainer clients, at 2 to 4% of order value.
Will I deal with the factory directly?
On simple product development, all communication with the factory goes through Amora, so you deal with one team in English. Once you sign our service agreement, we share the factory's name and details if you ask for them.
Do remote clients need to travel to Shenzhen?
No. The majority of our clients manage their programs entirely remotely. Amy handles the factory floor in Shenzhen on your behalf, with photo documentation, video walkthroughs, and live virtual tours when needed. For clients who do want to visit, we can arrange guided factory tours as a standalone service.
What does quality control look like on a retainer?
Retainer clients receive flexible QC tailored to their program, including in-line production checks, mid-production inspections, and pre-shipment audits. The frequency and scope of QC is agreed in your proposal and can be adjusted as production complexity changes.
Can you help manufacture products using the nRF54L15 chip?
Yes. We have identified and vetted Shenzhen factories currently working with the Nordic nRF54L15 SoC. Because this chip is new and not yet widely supported in contract manufacturing, our early factory relationships give clients an advantage. Get in touch with your product brief and we will connect you with the right manufacturing partner.
Do you handle shipping?
Yes. Shipping, freight, and logistics are handled on every order under any engagement model. We coordinate sea freight, air freight, factory dropship, and CBU versus CKD shipping analysis depending on destination and program requirements.
Are your prices fixed?
The prices on this page are base structures. Every client receives a formal proposal once we understand the product, scope, and timelines. Most engagements are negotiated around the base rates above rather than taken at face value.
