Supplier inspection

The conclusion of a contract for the production of products with a new foreign counterpart is one of the most important stages in the process of economic activities abroad.

Ignorance of the specifications of the foreign market, the probability of non-compliance with the established deadlines and arrangements, the risk of receiving a lot of poor-quality goods, and the lack of ability to self-monitor the operation of the factory; may pose a risk of serious financial and reputational losses for the importer.

Our company, OnlogSystem specializes in providing Manufacturer Certification services; our staff will perform a thorough analysis of the company and provide a complete report on the reliability of the supplier “From the beginning till the end.”

What is the Manufacturer (supplier) Certification?

The Manufacturer Certification is a set of activities performed by an inspector in a company to evaluate the reliability of the foreign partner or supplier and the quality of the work performed. The previous verification of these organizations or companies, before starting a mutual cooperation, serves as an early warning system that allows the participants to avoid unwanted risks.

What does the inspector verify in the Manufacturer (supplier) Certification process? 

The main task of this specialist is the detailed verification of the company with which you are going to work and/or do business; for example, the legal documentation, including: the official company registration and its tax registration, the validity of the commercial license, the existence of documents confirming the right to exports, as well as the conformity and real existence of the territorial addresses and the names of the manufacturer with the actual data.

Once the legitimacy of the supplier's operations has been confirmed, the inspector can assess the level of reliability of the prospective partner or supplier and the degree of well-functioning of their operations and business processes, obtaining information about:

• The age of the company;
• The Quality of accounting records;
• The place of purchase of raw materials and components;
• Rules for the organization of the production process;
• Description of staff jobs;
• Methods of quality control of manufactured products;
• Storage conditions of raw parts, semifinished products and finished products;
• Rules of the organization of internal logistics;
• Reputation of the counterpart. 

What information is reflected in the Manufacturer (supplier) Certification report?

Following the inspection, the customer will receive a report from the company, in which the importer can analyze the results.
