Quality Inspection Built for Programs
A container of defects costs you the season. Our inspections run AQL 2.5 / Level II — the same statistical standard your retail buyers' auditors apply — with photographic reports that end arguments before they start, and rework supervised at the factory's expense.
Sound familiar?
- ✕A defect batch last year still gets mentioned in supplier meetings.
- ✕Your buyer's audit requires documented QC you don't have yet.
- ✕Factory 'inspection' means a thumbs-up photo from the production line.
- ✕Chargebacks arrived before you even knew a shipment had problems.

+Will your reports pass our buyer's audit?
They're built to — spec-based checklists, statistical sampling, photographic evidence, archived per shipment. If your buyer audits QC documentation, we've already thought about their checklist.
+What happens on a Fail?
Rework or replacement at the factory's cost, re-inspected before loading. The balance payment waits for a Pass — that's leverage, and it's in the purchase agreement.
+Can you run inspections at multiple factories in one week?
Regularly — programs spread across several factories get scheduled inspection runs that match the production calendar, not a scramble at ship time.
