QC · Quality Control

Your brand promised quality—we'll make sure it delivers

We conduct on-site verification to ensure every batch strictly adheres to your technical and commercial specifications—safeguarding your brand’s reputation with every shipment. Inspections can be conducted before, during, and after production.

The defect isn't the problem; the problem is what happens next

A quality issue in production rarely stays at the factory. It travels with your merchandise, arrives at your warehouse, and from there, it becomes something much bigger.

01
Risk · 01

Your end customer's complaint.

The brand that trusts you receives a product that doesn’t meet the terms of the agreement. The conversation shifts from being about price or timelines to being about a breach of contract.

02
Risk · 02

Return of the entire lot.

If the defect rate exceeds the acceptable threshold, the entire shipment must be returned. You lose the season, cash flow, and the buyer’s confidence in future orders.

03
Risk · 03

The reputation that took you years to build.

A single subpar batch can show up on social media, marketplaces, or in reviews. The perceived quality of your brand is built batch by batch—and can be lost just as easily.

Reprocessing that is no longer profitable.

When a defect is detected at the destination, the cost of correcting it is five to ten times higher than at the point of origin. Reverse logistics, extra storage, and re-inspection eat into the profit margin.

All of this has a common cause: Quality Control took place too late—or not at all.

We inspect your production at the source—during or at the end of the manufacturing process—when corrections can still be made cost-effectively. We verify that each batch meets the specifications agreed upon by your brand.

We're taking action while there's still time to change the outcome

Before the first inspection, we review your technical specifications, your approved samples, and your tolerances. Each inspection is based on your commercial agreement, rather than a universal checklist.

Once the shipment is already in transit, the only option is to absorb the cost. When we inspect at the factory, you decide: accept, correct, or stop the shipment.

The report provides the valuable information you need to approve, hold, or reject the batch—not jargon you have to decipher.

“Quality isn’t corrected at the destination; it’s ensured at the source.”

Sampling Inspection in Accordance with International Standards

We apply the AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) method based on ISO 2859-1, the global standard recognized by buyers, manufacturers, and certification bodies for objectively evaluating production lots.

This means that the results of each inspection are auditable, defensible to your buyer, and comparable across lots and suppliers.

Your decision to accept or reject a batch does not depend on the inspector’s judgment. It depends on a standard.

Our Scope

Five verification stages with standardized criteria under our ISO 9001:2015-certified processes.

Structured information to help you make the right decision

The purpose of the report is not to document the inspection. It is to provide you with the information you need to approve, hold, or reject the lot before it enters the logistics process.

01

Executive Recommendation

Acceptable, acceptable with conditions, or rejected. On the first page, the recipient can decide without opening the rest of the document.

02

Sampling Results Below the AQL

Lot size, sample size, inspection level, critical/major/minor defects, and acceptance limit. Auditable and justifiable.

03

Classified Photographic Evidence

Photos organized by type of find. Items your buyer can view directly.

04

Findings with criticality

Each deviation is classified according to an international scale (critical, major, minor) to determine which ones require the lot to be held and which ones can be negotiated.

05

Access to the file on the platform

Reports, photos, and documents are available on your Asia IBS portal. You can view, download, and share them with your team.

Quality Control is at the heart of the operation, but it doesn't run on its own

QC ensures that the products meet specifications. The other three services ensure that the supplier is the correct one, that the shipment matches the one inspected exactly, and that the cargo arrives at its destination without a hitch.

What a Strategic Buyer Needs to Know.

The QC service adapts to the production schedule, product availability, and the criteria you define, so it integrates seamlessly into the workflow you already have with your supplier. Our goal is to inspect representative samples from the batch, clearly document our findings, and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions regarding release, correction, or follow-up.

In that case, we’ll provide you with a detailed report listing the identified defects, quantities, photographic evidence, and the results of the inspection. The final decision on whether to accept, reject, reprocess, or reinspect the lot is up to you, based on your commercial and quality criteria. Our team is available to answer any questions that may arise during your evaluation.

Yes, you can define your own acceptance criteria, classify defects as critical, major, or minor, specify inspection points, and set the tolerances that best suit your product. If you do not have specific criteria, we use recognized sampling standards such as AQL, which serve as a reliable operational reference.

The report is delivered within 48 to 72 business hours after the audit, inspection, or review is completed. The exact timeframe may vary depending on the agreed-upon scope, the volume of information reviewed, the number of SKUs, the number of suppliers involved, and the complexity of the case. As soon as it is ready, we will share it with you for your review.
