Clearer information before approving a supplier or shipment

HAO helps establish what you need to know about a supplier or product, gather available information and coordinate assessments and inspections with suitable providers under a clear scope.

Who is it for? Clients assessing a new supplier, following an order in production or coordinating an inspection before dispatch.

What is included? - Collecting and reviewing available supplier information and documents. - Distinguishing information reviews, site assessments and product inspections. - Coordinating a factory visit or specialist assessor when required. - Defining specifications and inspection points with the client and delivery provider. - Coordinating receipt of reports, photographs and findings issued by the provider. - Following responses and agreed actions on findings.

How we work We define the assessment objective, review the information, arrange the provider, scope and timing, then follow up on deliverables and findings.

What you receive A supplier information summary, inspection plan or the executing provider’s report, clearly identifying its source, date and scope.

What to send Supplier details, product information, specifications or approved sample, order stage, factory location and required timing.

Service scope The proposal specifies the assessment depth, inspection methods and report issuer. Inspection is not an absolute guarantee for every unit or a replacement for specialist conformity requirements.
