Supplier Vetting & Auditing
Comprehensive factory verification — from capability checks to deep-dive quality, ethics, and capacity audits — so you never discover problems after production starts.
A factory that looks perfect on paper can destroy your product in production.
Founders trust factory-provided certifications, glossy websites, and friendly sales reps. But a certificate on a wall doesn't mean the factory can build your product. And a friendly WeChat conversation isn't a quality system.
The real risks are hidden: undisclosed subcontracting, outdated machinery, overworked staff, and QC infrastructure that exists only in the brochure. By the time problems surface, you've already committed tooling, deposits, and months of timeline.
- Relying on factory-provided certifications without independent verification
- Skipping capability assessment and discovering capacity issues mid-production
- Using generic audit templates that miss product-specific risks
- Failing to re-audit after corrective actions, allowing issues to recur
Factory Capability Assessment
Comprehensive on-site evaluation of production lines, machinery, workforce scale, and throughput capacity against your specific product requirements.
Quality System Audit
In-depth review of the factory's internal QC infrastructure — inspection equipment, testing procedures, defect tracking, root cause analysis, and corrective action effectiveness.
Compliance & Ethics Verification
Validation of certifications, business licences, export permits, and social compliance posture — working conditions, safety standards, and environmental practices against SEDEX, BSCI, or your code of conduct.
Operational Capacity & Stability
Assessment of production line throughput, workforce stability, machinery condition, and financial health — protecting you from mid-production supplier failures.
Capability Assessment
On-site evaluation of production lines, machinery, and workforce against your specific requirements. A fast filter before deeper engagement.
Quality & Compliance Audit
In-depth review of QC infrastructure, certifications, working conditions, and environmental practices against your standards.
Reporting & Recommendation
Written report with photos, risk rating, corrective action list, and a clear go/no-go recommendation with supporting evidence.
Most sourcing problems are predictable. The factories that miss deadlines, deliver inconsistent quality, or disappear mid-production usually show clear signs early on.
We offer two levels of verification: a fast capability assessment for early-stage filtering, and a comprehensive audit covering quality systems, social compliance, and environmental standards for strategic suppliers.
Every report includes photos, clear findings, and a prioritized corrective action list. We don't outsource this to agencies — we do the audits ourselves and follow up on issues.
Common Questions
Capability assessment is a fast, on-site filter: production lines, machinery, and workforce evaluated against your requirements. Full audit adds deep-dive quality system review, compliance verification, and risk scoring.
Capability assessment: 1–2 days on-site, report within 3 business days. Full audit: 2–4 days depending on factory size, report within 5–7 business days.
No. We conduct all audits directly with our own trained staff. Third-party agencies use generic templates and miss product-specific risks.
We provide a prioritized corrective action list with severity rankings and recommended fixes. We can re-audit after corrections to verify implementation.
