END-TO-END SOLUTION
Importing involves many challenges. With our experience in the field, we make your operation as profitable and as straightforward as possible.
Here’s how we work
Customer Enquiry
Samples and Price Review
Sample and Price Approval
Order Confirmation
Production Sample Approval
Final Delivery
We take great pride in the quality of our products. Before any order is approved, we can produce final samples and have them delivered to you for approval. The service doesn’t stop there. On confirmation of your order, our people on the ground visit the factory again to inspect the production line and ensure that what you approved is what you will receive.
QUALITY SOURCES
Importing through the wrong channels may put your investment (and reputation) at risk. Through agents or managers who have little or no control over production schedules and orders may result in delays for final delivery. They may never even set foot inside the factory but will take high commissions on your goods.
With our own people on the ground, we:
CHECK THE
FACTORY
Check the factory capacity and set this against your ordering requirements
CHECK THEIR
HISTORY
Check the factory history for the production of your product, as well as its business experience
CONDUCT A
FACTORY AUDIT
Conduct regular rotational factory audits to ensure that standards we have established are maintained
By auditing and inspecting factories, we ensure that these factories comply with all the relevant standards and are either ISO9001 or BSCI approved. ISCO9001 is the international standard which specifies requirement for a quality management system, while BSCI (Business, Social and Compliance Initiative) is a global management system which supports companies in driving social compliance and improvements within their factories.
With this strategy, we ensure that we have the right manufacturing partners – for us and for you.
