China Supplier Holiday Calendar

Visualize Chinese public holidays and real factory shutdown windows so overseas buyers can predict vague lead times like 'after Chinese New Year'.

Problem

When ordering from Chinese factories, delivery dates are often vague promises like 'after Chinese New Year.' Overseas buyers and indie sellers don't know China's official holiday schedule, nor that factories actually shut down longer than official holidays, making it impossible to plan inventory and logistics accurately—leading to stockouts or overstock.

Solution

A supplier lead-time tool built around Chinese holidays: shows whether a factory is on holiday right now based on China time; for each holiday displays both the State Council official days off and the longer 'factory reality' window; supports adjustments by supplier city or industry; exports ICS calendars or integrates with Slack/email for advance N-day alerts.

Users

Cross-border e-commerce indie sellers, small overseas procurement teams, hardware startups working with Chinese supply chains.

MVP

Built-in State Council holiday data; mark official vs. factory-reality windows per holiday; real-time current status by China timezone; ICS export and email alerts; English-first UI.

Revenue

Free basic tier; Pro ($5–$10/mo) adds multi-supplier calendars, Slack integration, advance alerts, and industry tweaks; annual one-time option.

Why now

Cross-border indie sellers and small procurement teams keep growing, yet official holiday data is scattered and doesn't reflect factory reality. One person can build a high-value tool with public data and a simple frontend, with no big-tech competition.
