Quality Control Processes

How do you ensure consistency in your inspections and audits?

We use standardized internal checklists, AQL sampling procedures, and defined workflows to ensure consistency. Our team is regularly trained and follows clear SOPs. For repeat orders, we refer to previous inspection reports to maintain continuity.

What qualifications do your inspectors have?

Our inspectors are experienced professionals with strong technical backgrounds in the product categories they inspect. Many have degrees in engineering, quality, or manufacturing fields, and undergo rigorous onboarding before conducting inspections.

How do you train your inspectors?

All inspectors go through initial training, followed by regular on-the-job refreshers. Training includes:
  • AQL procedures
  • Our internal standards
  • Softlines and hardlines-specific protocols
  • Client-specific requirements and case studies

    We also conduct periodic performance evaluations and field audits.

Do you use any technology or tools during inspections (e.g., tablets, software)?

Yes! 🖥️ We use our own inspection platform and other platforms, mainly QARMA, accessed via tablets or mobile devices. This allows our team to:
  • Input findings directly into the report
  • Upload photos and videos on-site
  • Follow dynamic checklists tailored to each order

Can you provide real-time updates during inspections?

Yes, we can provide

real-time updates

via messaging or email if requested.

Whether it’s a quick status update, a clarification, or an urgent issue, our inspectors can contact your team or our coordination staff instantly.

How do you handle disputes with factories over inspection results?

We remain neutral and factual. All findings are documented with photos, videos, and defect descriptions and must be signed by the supplier representative before our inspector leaves the factory. If there’s a disagreement, we refer to the report and align with the client on how to proceed.

We can also arrange follow-up inspections if needed.

Can you inspect products for specific defects or issues we’ve encountered before?

Absolutely! Just let us know the issues you’ve had — we will highlight them in the checklist and instruct the inspector to pay special attention to those points.

This helps prevent repeat problems and ensures we’re focused on what matters to you.

How do you ensure objectivity and impartiality during inspections?

We operate as an independent third-party and never accept incentives from suppliers.

Our inspectors follow strict ethical guidelines, and we assign staff from different regions when needed to avoid potential conflicts of interest. Our reports are based solely on factual findings.

Can you inspect products for labeling and packaging compliance?

Yes, of course. We check:

  • Product labels
  • Barcodes and stickers
  • Packaging method and condition
  • Shipping marks and compliance with your packaging guidelines

    Just share your requirements, and we’ll include them in the checklist.

Do you offer pre-production inspections to verify raw materials?

Yes! Our  Pre-Production Qualification (PPQ) service is designed for that.

We verify:

  • The quality and type of raw materials
  • Components, trims, and packaging
  • Supplier readiness and production planning

    It’s a great way to prevent problems before manufacturing begins.

How do you specify product colors for inspection?

You can share:
  • Pantone codes
  • Color swatches
  • Reference samples
  • Product photos or specification sheets

    Our inspectors will use these references on-site to visually compare and report any deviations.
