    • Supplier Performance Audits: Using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), we track and evaluate vendor performance in areas such as delivery time, defect rates, and overall reliability.
    • Social & Ethical Audits: Ensuring compliance with ethical sourcing practices, we review supplier adherence to corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies, environmental sustainability, and fair labor standards.

  • Our Audit Process

    Our Vendor Audit Process is tailored to your specific requirements, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of your suppliers:

    1. Pre-Audit Planning: We collaborate with you to define the scope and key focus areas of the audit, identifying critical processes, systems, and compliance needs.
    2. On-Site Inspection: Our auditors conduct an in-depth, on-site evaluation of the vendor’s facilities, processes, and practices. This includes interviews with key personnel, documentation review, and process observations.
    3. Detailed Reporting: After the audit, we provide a comprehensive report that includes findings, areas of non-compliance, and actionable recommendations for improvement.
    4. Follow-Up & Corrective Actions: If non-conformances are identified, we work with your vendor to ensure corrective actions are taken and verified in a follow-up audit if needed.
