Our Process
What makes us a leading firm is the delivery of quality and value to our clients. All our professionals have over 5 years of legal experience.
Get Your Enquire
The first step is to get an overview of your requirements and expectations. What do you want to produce and what quantity? How will the product be used? What is the expected standard and quality? What previous issues have you faced?
Collect bids from suppliers
We create a detailed specification of your requirements and send this out to multiple suppliers. We then review bids and responses to ensure reasonable pricing for raw material and expected processes. We then select the best option based on a mix of price, performance, quality and our experience of the suppliers.
You get a quote
You receive a quote where we will also discuss potential issues and risks. We will explain dimension deviations, finish limitations/implications, domestic material equivalent alternatives, etc
Confirm Order/Design
Depending on your order, it may require a custom design. Approval is required before sampling and production.
Payment
Once you’re happy with your quote and design, a deposit is made to confirm your order.
Factory Audit
When you have accepted the quote we do a detailed factory audit to ensure safety and quality. We review; Attitude, Size (number of staff, revenue), Specific machines (upkeep and quantity), Current product market, Environment, Safety of workers, Social responsibility, Proper lighting/working conditions, Safety signs, Documentation, Process control and Management Structure.
Sample / Tool
Once the factory is approved we do a sample production. We review key points with supplier such as appearance, critical dimensions, critical areas and performance. We inspect the sample, confirm process/material is the same as expected on mass production and we will then send you the sample and a detailed report.
Production
Before production starts we repeat review process with the supplier and emphasize and ensure improvements made during sampling are implemented. Production begins, and we do in-process inspections such as; Process flow lead-times, Raw Material acquisition, and Process stages/steps. Once production is finished, we do additional inspections such as; Packaging/Secure transit, Critical dimensions/specifications and Shipping Marks.
Balance Payment
Once you’re happy with the production results, the balance payment is required to ship your order.
Shipping
We will communicate with freight forwarder to arrange pickup and delivery. We will manage customs documentation including HS Codes/Tariffs and certificates. As soon as the pickup is done we monitor tracking information, customs clearance and schedule delivery to your desired location.
