Vietnam Factory Audit Services

What is the difference between supplier verification and factory audit?

Supplier verification confirms that a factory is legitimate and capable. A factory audit goes deeper — it's a comprehensive on-site assessment of production capacity, machinery, quality management systems, workforce, raw materials, and facility conditions. Think of verification as a background check; an audit is a full capability assessment.

Factory Audit FAQ

How long does a factory audit take?

A standard audit takes 1 full day on-site. Comprehensive audits may take 2 days. The report is delivered within 3–5 business days.

Can you audit a factory I found on Alibaba?

Yes. Many buyers find suppliers online and ask us to audit them before committing. This is one of our most requested services.

What makes your audit different from SGS or Bureau Veritas?

We combine technical assessment with sourcing expertise. Unlike third-party auditors, we evaluate factories from a buyer's perspective — focusing on whether they can actually deliver your specific product at the quality you need.

Do I need an audit for every factory?

We recommend auditing any factory you plan to work with for the first time, especially for orders above $10,000 or for products with quality-critical requirements.
