Below are our core services and the process by which we deliver value and reliability to our clients:
Core Services
- Client Requirement Screening
To initiate the involvement, we first must review and analyze the range of product types you would like to address, specifications requirements, order quantities, design style, spending limits, markets you are attempting to penetrate, required quality, compliance needs and packaging requirements, to then build a sourcing strategy that best meets your needs.
- Supplier Sourcing & Assessment
Using our extensive network of approved manufacturers or artisans located in various regions of India, we would identify acceptable suppliers. We would assess their technical capabilities, capacity for your requirements, previous exporting experiences, design ability, materials sourcing, and demonstrate the necessary quality.
- Factory Audit
We would perform an audit covering one or more areas including but not limited to, ethical and labor practice, environmental compliance, safety, material input, machinery used in production, to quality assurance process if used. We would ensure that the supplier complies with your product specifications, as well as suffice to do business at least within a reasonable range of ethics.
- Samples or New Product Development
We can develop samples before bulk orders. You can send us your designs or prototypes for replication. If you need new designs, we can support the design, prototypes, material selection, colour matching, finishing, trims, etc. This reduces risks in the final production.
- Negotiation & Contract Management
We negotiate purchase price, terms of payment, lead time, product specifications, and then document the agreement clearly. We manage your contract with the supplier to protect your interest and clearly communicate expectations.
- Production Monitoring
We monitor production during the production cycle at key checkpoints: Receipt of raw material, production in process, mid production checks, and making sure we stay on timeline. We monitor processes to ensure production standards, workmanship, finish, tolerances all meet expectations at each stage.
- Quality Control & Inspections
Before shipping, we conduct a final inspection to check for defects, consistency, finish quality, consistency of color, safety compliance, and packaging quality. If needed, we perform 3rd party lab tests (for materials, finishes etc.) in order to meet your regulatory or certification requirements.
- Monitoring Packing & Labeling
Packaging and labeling is an important step to ensure safe transit and correct customs clearance. We monitor packing and labeling to ensure strength and appropriateness (i.e., carton, cases, padding, etc.) and that labeling is met for the buyer, legal, and country regulatory requirements to the destination.
