Tap into your factory’s engineering expertise to optimize designs for lower costs and faster production. By inviting suppliers to suggest material substitutions or simpler layouts, you can achieve significant savings without compromising product quality.

Streamline your product launches by aligning R&D timelines with factory production. Joint milestone reviews between your R&D team and the factory’s technical staff can uncover potential issues early, cutting weeks off your go-to-market schedule.

Enhance factory transparency by requesting a full supply chain map. Identify the origin of raw materials, secondary factories, and outsourced processes to uncover hidden risks, reduce costs, and improve quality control.

Enhance quality standards by working directly with your supplier’s internal QC team. Review their protocols, request regular reports, and align their processes with your external checks to reduce defects and improve consistency across orders.

Stop recurring defects with end-to-end traceability. Use batch codes on critical components to track production stages and quickly identify fault patterns. This proactive approach ensures better quality control and motivates factories to maintain high standards.

Eliminate post-payment issues by formalizing final inspections. Include clear protocols in your purchase order outlining inspection procedures, defect rate limits, and timing. Conduct inspections at least a day before shipment to ensure product quality and avoid paying for substandard goods.
