Case studies
Supplier verification, factory audit, inspection and sourcing walk-throughs.
Supplier verification
- Trading company posing as a factory
A buyer was quoted factory-direct pricing from a company whose English site claimed manufacturing. Verification showed the registered entity was an import-export trader, not a licensed producer.
Factory audit
- Legal entity mismatch found before a deposit
A high-value order was about to be placed with a trading arm while the quality certificates were held by a parent entity. The on-site audit caught the mismatch before any deposit moved.
Inspection
- Label defect stopped before container loading
A 12,000-unit order was inspected at 90 percent packing. AQL sampling found a critical country-of-origin labelling error above the reject threshold, and the batch was reworked before loading.
Sourcing
- Qualifying a replacement supplier in Vietnam
A buyer needed a second source when the China supplier hit capacity. An RFQ shortlisted three candidates in Vietnam; registration checks and one on-site audit qualified one with documented evidence.
