Our sourcing process
02
Supplier verification
We confirm the legal entity, export history, banking, capacity and references, and visit the unit so you know who you are actually buying from.
03
Factory audit
On request we run a factory audit covering capacity, equipment, process control, social and workplace conditions, and readiness for your order.
04
Product development
We develop your product from a tech pack, reference sample, photo or idea — refining construction, materials and finish before any bulk commitment.
05
Sampling
We manage pre-production samples and approvals, including colour, finish and packaging, so bulk is confirmed against an approved physical reference.
06
Quality inspection
We run AQL-based inspection — pre-production, during production and a final random inspection before the goods are packed for export.
07
Production monitoring
We track the order on the floor, flag slippage early and keep you updated, so delivery dates and quality hold through to completion.
08
Packaging
We develop retail-ready and e-commerce packaging — barcodes, labels, inserts and master-carton marking — and confirm it at sampling.
09
Compliance coordination
We coordinate the testing and material documentation your product and destination market require, on a per-project basis, with recognised labs.
10
Documentation
We prepare and check the commercial and export paperwork your shipment needs so customs clearance at destination is clean.
11
Export coordination
We consolidate mixed-cluster orders into disciplined shipments and coordinate with your freight forwarder or arrange forwarding on your behalf.
12
Shipping support
We supervise container loading, confirm counts and condition, and support the hand-off so what you approved is what arrives.
Compliance & export to South Africa
South African imports involve standard commercial and customs documentation, and labelling appropriate to the product. Specific requirements depend on the product category and are confirmed per project.
We prepare and check export paperwork, coordinate any required testing, and run AQL inspection before shipment so goods clear customs cleanly at destination.
We handle quality control, supplier verification and export management end to end. We are not a customs or legal adviser; we coordinate the appropriate testing and paperwork per project.
