General Company Information

QCADVISOR is an independent Quality Control agency supporting importers, brands, and retailers with tailored QC solutions across Asia and beyond.

We offer two core service categories:

Factory Audits

Our audit services help you evaluate and qualify suppliers before placing your orders. We assess factory capabilities, working conditions, documentation, compliance history, and production capacity. This allows you to make informed sourcing decisions and reduce long-term risk.

Types of audits include:

• Supplier Qualification Audits
• Social & Ethical Audits
• Environmental Audits
• Technical Capability Assessments

Product Inspections

We perform on-site inspections at the factory before, during, or after production to verify product quality, packaging, labeling, and compliance with your specifications. Our inspections follow AQL standards and are customized for your product type.

Inspection services include:

• Pre-Production Inspection (PPI)
• During Production Inspection (DPI)
• Final Random Inspection (FRI)
• Container Loading Supervision (CLS)
• Re-inspection and Product Sorting

Where We Operate

We cover all major manufacturing hubs in Asia, with operational teams in China, Vietnam, and India. Through a network of trusted local partners, we also operate in:

• Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Pakistan
• Turkey, North Africa (Morocco, Tunisia)
• Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Greece)

Whether you are an established importer or a fast-growing eCommerce brand, QCADVISOR helps you protect your business from quality risks and supplier issues—before your goods leave the factory.

Our company is headquartered in Hong Kong. We have branches in China and India with supervisors and managers present all over the main cities.

In 2018, we started as a one-man consulting firm.

Today, we’ve grown to a team of inspectors that cover major Asian Industrial Hubs.

Our primary objective is to help our clients prevent defects, rather than merely identifying them.

We remain committed to providing our clients with personalized services tailored to their needs, distinguishing ourselves from the generic inspection services that dominate the industry.

QCADVISOR is not currently ISO-certified (e.g., ISO 9001 or ISO 17020), by choice. Our company was built on a foundation of operational rigor, field expertise, and client trust—developed through thousands of inspections and audits conducted across Asia and other key sourcing regions.

While we recognize the value of formal certifications in certain corporate environments, we prioritize hands-on quality control, real-world problem solving, and a highly personalized service model over standardized documentation. Many certifications, including ISO 9001 and 17020, focus heavily on process formalization. However, in the third-party inspection space, actual field performance, responsiveness, and client satisfaction are often far more indicative of reliability and quality.

That said, we are committed to the same principles these standards promote—such as traceability, impartiality, and continuous improvement—and we regularly benchmark our processes to stay aligned with international best practices. If required, we can also adapt our reporting and audit processes to fit the internal compliance frameworks of ISO-certified partners or clients.

At QCADVISOR, we deliver third-party quality control services across a broad range of consumer goods, industrial products, and eCommerce categories. We work with a diverse network of clients—from established global brands to fast-growing eCommerce startups—supporting them with tailored inspection protocols, strong field experience, and proactive communication.

Here are the key industries we specialize in:

General Consumer Products

We handle a wide range of consumer goods including homeware, personal care items, tools, packaging, kitchenware, plastic products, and more. Our clients include Sephora and Yves Rocher, who trust us to inspect promotional merchandise, packaging, and brand-critical details.

E-Commerce & Amazon FBA Sellers

We actively support hundreds of independent eCommerce sellers, DTC brands, and Amazon FBA operators with flexible inspection solutions adapted to small and medium volumes. Our clients in this category include startups and sellers from platforms like Shopify and Factored Quality.

Mechanical & Industrial Parts

We support complex inspections for mechanical components, metal parts, and industrial sub-assemblies. RATP and Alstom, leaders in transportation and infrastructure, have relied on us for precision-focused QC in this sector.

Furniture & Home Decor

We inspect home furniture, lighting, and decorative items, both finished and knock-down (flat-pack). Trusted by brands like POMAX and Modway, we ensure aesthetic, dimensional, and functional consistency for retail and eCommerce markets.

Apparel & Ready-to-Wear (RTW)

We perform detailed garment inspections across categories like fashionwear, sportswear, babywear, and uniforms. Clients such as Comfrt depend on our team to verify stitching quality, sizing, labeling, and overall workmanship.

Fashion Accessories, Eyewear & Kidswear

From sunglasses and watches to baby apparel and school bags, our inspectors check compliance, appearance, and functional safety. Brands like IZIPIZI, Kietla, Cabaïa, LIEWOOD, and Outdoor Products have chosen QCADVISOR to protect their brand reputation and customer experience.

Eyewear & Optical Goods

We perform precise checks on sunglasses, readers, blue-light glasses, and frames—verifying lens clarity, hinge resistance, UV protection, and regulatory compliance. Clients include KOMONO, Kietla, and IZIPIZI.

Electronics & Home Appliances

We inspect small household appliances, USB-powered devices, and electrical items with a focus on safety, function, and packaging. Global names like Frigoglass and Coca-Cola rely on our QC to ensure proper branding and functionality, especially for co-branded appliances.

Toys & Educational Items

We support toy brands like Nature Planet with inspections that focus on safety, durability, compliance (e.g., EN71, ASTM), and age-appropriateness.

Bags, Travel Gear & Outdoor Accessories

Backpacks, outdoor bags, travel kits, and accessories are part of our regular scope. We’ve supported brands like Outdoor Products and Cabaïa, ensuring quality and durability in stitching, zippers, and materials.

Trusted by Global Brands and Growing Entrepreneurs Alike

Whether you’re an established brand like Alstom, Sephora, or IZIPIZI, or you’re launching your first private label on Amazon, QCADVISOR adapts to your pace, your market, and your goals. We combine corporate-level discipline with startup-level responsiveness—because quality control should be rigorous, but never rigid.

At QCADVISOR, we go beyond traditional third-party inspections. While most QC companies focus solely on identifying defects after they’ve occurred, we take a pro-active, risk-based approach to help you prevent quality issues before they happen.

Our key differentiators:

Proactive Quality Assurance

We don’t just report problems—we analyze root causes, production risks, and supplier performance to help you avoid costly mistakes, rework, and delays. Our goal is not just defect detection but defect prevention.

Local Presence Across Asia

With a strong operational network in China, Vietnam, India, and other sourcing hubs, we provide on-the-ground expertise—including supplier verification, factory audits, and product inspections—with local agility and regional insight.

Smart Use of Technology

We combine field experience with digital tools to ensure transparency, consistency, and speed. From real-time updates and photo-rich reports to data-driven insights, our tech-enabled process gives you full control—wherever you are.

Boutique Service, Big Impact

Unlike large QC firms with one-size-fits-all systems, we provide flexible, human-centered service tailored to your product type, business model, and goals. Whether you’re a global retailer or an eCommerce entrepreneur, we adapt to your workflow—not the other way around.

Trusted by Global Brands & Modern Sellers

From Fortune 500 brands to fast-scaling Amazon FBA businesses, our clients trust QCADVISOR to deliver hands-on quality control, supplier transparency, and risk reduction—not just paperwork.

Absolutely. We proudly support small businesses, startups, and solopreneurs—especially in the eCommerce and Amazon FBA space. In fact, a significant portion of our client base consists of SMEs, DTC brands, and independent sellers who rely on our flexible and cost-effective quality control services to grow and protect their businesses.

We understand the unique challenges that smaller companies face—tight timelines, limited batch sizes, evolving products—and we’ve built our service model to adapt accordingly. Whether you’re launching your first product, scaling your private label brand, or sourcing from new suppliers in Asia, QCADVISOR gives you enterprise-level quality control with startup-friendly agility.

We also work with leading corporations and global brands, but our approach is always the same: practical, proactive, and personalized—no matter your size or order volume.

The local language and English (at least written)

At QCADVISOR, protecting your confidential information is a core part of our responsibility. We understand the sensitivity of your designs, technical files, pricing structures, and supplier relationships—and we treat that information with the highest level of care.

Here’s how we ensure confidentiality:

🔒 Strict Internal Protocols

All our team members, including inspectors and coordinators, are bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Access to client data is role-based and limited, ensuring only authorized personnel handle sensitive information.

📄 NDAs & Custom Agreements

We are always open to signing Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and many of our clients already operate under legally binding confidentiality terms with us. We can also adapt to your company’s specific compliance or legal requirements.

💻 Secure IT Infrastructure

Our internal systems are secured through encrypted cloud storage, controlled access rights, and regular audits. Inspection reports and documents are only shared with approved recipients via secure channels.

🏭 Discreet Factory Visits

When visiting your supplier’s site, our inspectors never disclose the buyer’s identity or project details unless explicitly authorized. We also avoid wearing branded apparel or sharing any client-related information that could compromise discretion.

🤝 Zero Tolerance for Data Sharing

We have a zero-tolerance policy for data leaks, unauthorized file transfers, or use of client information for any purpose other than the assigned service.

Trusted by Brands Who Value Privacy

From cosmetics and electronics to fashion and industrial parts, global brands and eCommerce sellers trust QCADVISOR with their most confidential information—because they know we treat it like our own.

At QCADVISOR, we take inspector recruitment very seriously—because your product quality depends on who’s on the ground. Our recruitment process combines industry expertise, rigorous vetting, and product-specific selection to ensure that every inspector we work with meets our high standards.

👥 Industry-Backed Network

Our leadership team has over 17 years of experience in the quality control industry, which gives us direct access to a well-established network of high-performing inspectors and auditors across Asia. Many of our hires come through word of mouth, professional reputation, and peer referrals—a highly effective method for filtering out underperformers and identifying reliable professionals.

Background & Track Record Checks

We thoroughly vet each candidate’s work history, reputation, and past performance. Inspectors with unresolved issues or negative records at previous QC firms are flagged early. Our operational team regularly shares feedback on inspector reliability, accuracy, and professionalism.

Product & Standards Expertise

Inspectors are selected based on their hands-on experience in specific product categories—such as apparel, electronics, furniture, eyewear, or mechanical parts—as well as their knowledge of international standards (e.g. AQL, ANSI, EN, ISO). We match them to assignments based on this technical fit.

Practical Evaluation & Onboarding

New inspectors must pass a technical assessment, field evaluation, and training on our internal tools and client-specific requirements. We also continuously monitor inspection quality through report reviews, internal audits, and client feedback.

Continuous Improvement

Our contractor base is reviewed regularly. Underperforming inspectors are re-trained or removed, and top performers are prioritized for complex or high-risk assignments.

Field-Ready, Product-Smart, and Integrity-Driven

Whether inspecting sunglasses in Wenzhou or furniture in Ho Chi Minh, our inspectors are chosen for their expertise, ethics, and consistency—because we know your reputation depends on ours.

Our Founder and Managing Director is Habib Rkha. he is working in the QC industry for 17 years, with focus in China. He has extensive experience on the ground and with Chinese suppliers but also in other Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Taiwan).

No. While China is a major focus, QCADVISOR provides quality control coverage across Asia, North Africa, and Southern Europe.

We operate with our own in-house teams in China, Vietnam, and India. This allows us to directly manage inspections, audits, and supplier evaluations in the most active manufacturing regions. In addition to these core areas, we collaborate with trusted long-term partners across:

• South Asia: Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka
• Southeast Asia: Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar
• East Asia: South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong

Outside of Asia, we also support sourcing and inspections in the following regions:

• Turkey
• North Africa, including Morocco and Tunisia
• Europe, including Portugal, Spain, France, Bulgaria and Greece

This broad regional coverage allows our clients, from fast-growing eCommerce brands to global importers, to expand their sourcing while maintaining consistent quality control. Our methodology, reporting, and communication standards remain aligned across all countries, offering a seamless experience regardless of the location.

No, QCADVISOR does not provide sourcing services. We believe in maintaining full independence and neutrality, which is essential for delivering objective and reliable quality control.

By not engaging in sourcing or supplier matchmaking, we avoid any potential conflict of interest and stay fully focused on what we do best: third-party inspections, audits, and supplier verification services.

Our clients trust us because we act solely in their interest, with no financial ties to factories or sourcing agents. This independence is at the core of our value and integrity as a quality control partner.

At QCADVISOR, our primary focus is to help you avoid such problems in the first place through thorough, risk-driven inspections and proactive communication with your suppliers. We design our process to minimize surprises after shipment.

However, if issues do occur and they are clearly linked to an error or oversight on our part, we take full accountability. We are open to discussing a fair compensation that reflects both the actual loss incurred and the level of responsibility we bear in the situation.

Our goal is not just to inspect, but to act as a reliable partner you can trust, even in the rare cases when things go wrong. We handle such situations with transparency, professionalism, and a problem-solving mindset.

At QCADVISOR, we take inspector integrity and anti-bribery measures extremely seriously, because we know that trust is the foundation of any reliable quality control service.

Here is how we ensure the highest ethical standards across our team:

1. Rigorous Recruitment and Background Checks

We only work with inspectors and engineers who have proven, clean track records. Through our extensive network built over 17+ years in the industry, we are able to identify inspectors with past integrity issues and avoid them from the start.

2. Strong Industry Network

Our leadership team has personally visited and built relationships with over 4,000 factories across China and Asia. This network acts as an informal but powerful filter: inspectors known for dishonest behavior in the industry are quickly flagged and blacklisted.

3. Ongoing Monitoring and Review

We constantly monitor inspector performance, including detailed report reviews, spot checks, and client feedback. If we see any sign of irregularities or inconsistent reporting, immediate internal investigation is launched.

4. Competitive Compensation and Respect

We pay above-industry-standard fees to our inspectors and treat them with respect. This helps attract professionals who are committed, experienced, and less vulnerable to external influence.

5. Senior Engineer Involvement

We rely heavily on senior technical staff and engineers, especially during the preparation phase of the inspection. These experts understand product design, client expectations, and potential risks in depth—reducing the chances of errors or manipulation during field execution.

6. Zero-Tolerance Policy

Any confirmed violation of our integrity standards results in immediate dismissal. We have zero tolerance for bribery, collusion, or any unethical behavior, and this is clearly communicated during onboarding and reinforced in our internal guidelines.

By combining ethical hiring, technical expertise, fair compensation, and strict follow-up, QCADVISOR maintains a strong culture of trust and accountability—protecting your brand and product quality at every step.

Yes, we work with a network of carefully selected part-time engineers and product specialists. This is a deliberate choice that allows us to assign the most qualified person for each specific product category rather than relying on full-time inspectors who are expected to cover all types of goods.

Many traditional QC companies assign generalist inspectors to a wide range of products, which often leads to gaps in technical understanding and inconsistent results. At QCADVISOR, we believe in a different model:

Specialization over standardization.

Our part-time inspectors are usually senior engineers or industry professionals who focus on a specific category, such as apparel, electronics, furniture, or mechanical components. They are activated only when their expertise matches your inspection needs, ensuring better judgment, more accurate reporting, and deeper insight during the inspection.

To guarantee consistency and quality across our network, all inspectors—whether full-time or part-time—undergo:

• Technical assessments and onboarding
• Training on our systems and SOPs
• Ongoing performance reviews and report audits

This hybrid model gives you both specialized knowledge and flexible coverage, without compromising on quality or reliability.

Yes, at QCADVISOR we tailor each inspection to the specific product category and client requirements. We do not believe in one-size-fits-all checklists.

Our inspections are based on internationally recognized standards, primarily from European and American regulatory frameworks. For example:

• EN 71 and ASTM F963 for toys
• IEC/EN 60335 and UL/CSA standards for electrical and home appliances
• Industry benchmarks and safety norms for furniture, apparel, eyewear, and more

We maintain a robust library of category-specific checklists, which are continuously updated based on product evolution, market regulations, and our field experience.

Most importantly, we fully integrate client specifications, past quality issues, risk areas, and special requests into each inspection. This allows us to go beyond standard checkpoints and focus on what truly matters to your business and end users.

Every order is reviewed by our coordination team and, when needed, by senior engineers to ensure the checklist reflects both global compliance standards and your specific expectations.

This combination of standardized methodology and tailored execution is what makes our inspections both reliable and relevant.

At QCADVISOR, we combine digital efficiency with practical flexibility to adapt to the needs of each client.

We operate through our own online booking platform, which allows clients to:

• Book inspections and audits directly
• Manage orders and updates in real time
• Receive automated notifications
• Retrieve reports, photos, and documents
• Handle invoicing in a centralized and transparent way

For inspection execution, we are flexible:

• Our inspectors can work using traditional laptop-based tools (Word/PDF) when the format requires it
• We also work with mobile-based inspection apps, such as Qarma, when digital form entry is required or preferred
• If you already have your own internal QC app or system, we can integrate and operate within that environment seamlessly

Looking ahead, we are currently developing our own proprietary mobile inspection and reporting app, which is expected to launch in 2026. This tool is designed to streamline report generation, enhance real-time photo documentation, and increase data consistency across all product categories.

Whether you prefer the structure of classic PDF reports or the convenience of app-based workflows, QCADVISOR can support both—while always focusing on accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.

Currently, QCADVISOR provides report-based performance tracking and manual data analysis upon request. While we do not yet offer a fully integrated dashboard with real-time analytics, our operations team can compile custom summaries, trends, and supplier performance insights based on past inspection data.

That said, we are actively developing a new digital platform that will include:

• Supplier performance dashboards
• Product category-level quality trends
• Statistical breakdowns by defect type, factory, region, and time period
• Exportable KPIs for internal reviews and sourcing decisions

This upgraded platform is scheduled for release in mid-2026 and is being designed to give our clients real-time visibility and actionable insights across all their orders.

In the meantime, if you need custom reporting, we are happy to support you with tailored reports and data summaries based on your quality priorities.
