From initial consultation to final shipment, we track the entire process, providing complete visibility with zero blind spots. Full-Process Sourcing Factory Audit Quality Inspection (QC) Our end-to-end sourcing workflow — from requirements alignment through logistics coordination. Step 1: Requirements Alignment & Assessment We conduct a 1-on-1 consultation to evaluate your sourcing requirements, product categories, budget, and goals, tailoring the ideal service plan for you. Step 2: Supplier Sourcing & Verification Leveraging the rich resources of Guangzhou’s industrial clusters, we source and match premium suppliers, performing strict background checks and on-site factory audits to ensure maximum transaction safety. Step 3: Sample Approval & Order Lock-in We assist you with sample collection, price negotiation, and confirming order specifications and lead times to finalize and lock in favorable contract terms. Step 4: Production Tracking & Quality Control We monitor the production schedule throughout. First-article inspections, in-line sampling, and final pre-shipment inspections are executed as agreed, followed by visual inspection reports. Step 5: Shipment Follow-up & Logistics Coordination We assist with shipment scheduling, packaging reinforcement, customs documentation, and coordinate with international logistics providers to ensure your cargo is safely dispatched. Fast-track factory audit workflow — from document review to a bilingual multimedia report within 12 hours of the on-site visit. Step 1: Application & Document Review Submit your target factory details and audit scope. We cross-check business licenses, export records, and prior buyer references before confirming the audit plan and deployment schedule. Step 2: On-Site Audit Deployment Our auditor arrives within 24 hours across the Pearl River Delta to verify legal standing, production capacity, QA systems, and 5S standards — with live video and photo evidence captured on the factory floor. Step 3: 12-Hour Multimedia Report Delivery Within 12 hours of the visit, you receive a bilingual audit report with scored findings, HD photos, on-site video clips, and a clear go / no-go recommendation — ready to share with your team. Pre-shipment QC workflow — AQL-aligned inspection with a same-day visual report before your cargo leaves China. Step 1: AQL Standard Alignment We confirm your inspection level, AQL thresholds, defect classifications, and product-specific checklists — locking the sampling plan before our inspector deploys to the factory. Step 2: On-Site Inspection & Testing Our inspector performs carton sampling, workmanship checks, functional tests, and packaging verification per your agreed scope — documenting every critical and major defect with macro photos and measurements. Step 3: Same-Day Visual QC Report You receive a bilingual visual QC report the same day — pass/fail verdict, AQL defect breakdown, photo evidence, and actionable hold-or-release guidance before payment or shipment is authorized.
