The categories where we specialise.

Complex products with technical or safety requirements. Categories where a missed defect is expensive.

Gas appliances, refrigeration and cooking equipment

Gas pressure testing, hi-pot, thermal pull-down, CSA and UL standards. 50,000+ gas appliances and 100,000+ refrigeration units inspected.

CCTV, AV equipment, displays and connectivity

Firmware verification, PCB-level checks, FCC and CE compliance. Functional testing across high-volume production runs.

Metal components, aluminium profiles and moulded parts

Dimensional tolerances, Cpk process capability, surface finish and weld integrity. AQL sampling to ISO 2859-1.

Flatpack, assembled and fitted components

Structural integrity, surface and finish assessment, material verification and packaging compliance for ocean freight.

HVAC assemblies and industrial components

HVAC units, mechanical assemblies and industrial components across Thailand’s manufacturing base.

RV components and speciality vehicle supply chains

Multi-category inspection for RV, marine and speciality vehicle manufacturers sourcing complex sub-assemblies from Asia.

Engineer-grade. Not auditor-grade.

Our team came from the manufacturing side. 15 years qualifying suppliers, managing certification programmes and signing off on shipments. That background is why our inspectors check gas pressure, thermal pull-down and process capability rather than running a visual checklist.
  • Trained as engineers. Our inspectors understand product failure modes and process capability. Six Sigma and DMAIC expertise sits in our consulting team, not on every inspection.
  • 50%+ of inspectors have 5 or more years experience. AQL sampling to ISO 2859-1 on every job.
  • Senior inspectors on every job. All inspections are led by a senior inspector with a minimum of 5 years experience.

Gas appliances and refrigeration. Vietnam. Matched factories and shipments, 12-month period. Figures rounded. Full methodology available on request.

Inspection data that builds over time.

Each inspection adds a data point to your quality record. After a few months you can see which supplier is drifting, which defect type drives most of your volume, and which factory is trending the wrong way.

  • One account manager. One point of contact for every factory, country and inspection type.
  • Fixed defect taxonomy across all four countries. Defects are comparable whether the factory is in Vietnam or China.
  • Free tier included. Defect trend tracking and supplier scorecards at no extra cost.
  • Full platform adds Pareto analysis, early warning signals and cross-supplier benchmarking.
