Inline inspection
Checks during production, while a problem is still a few dozen pieces rather than the whole order.
Compliance
A buying house that puts your order in the wrong unit has cost you more than it saved. Compliance is the first filter we apply, not the last.
How we vet a unit
Every unit we nominate is checked for social and technical compliance before any sampling begins. We prepare the documentation, walk the floor ahead of your auditor, and will decline an order rather than place it somewhere that will fail you later.
If your programme carries its own code of conduct, send it with the enquiry. It is cheaper for everyone to match the factory to the standard at the start than to re-source after a failed audit.
Standards held by our partner factories:
Quality
That is the whole argument for using a buying house rather than going direct, so it is worth being plain about how it works.
Checks during production, while a problem is still a few dozen pieces rather than the whole order.
A final inspection against agreed AQL levels before we release the shipment.
Inspection findings come to you directly, including the ones the factory would rather you did not see.
That is all we need to come back with a real number.
