Quality control and compliance
Swades ensure a high standard of product quality and compliance for products sourced in India
Quality is a core value of Swades and integral to our business. Our commitment to clients is quality control and compliance and this means that everything we do is done to the highest standard in the industry
Quality Control
Quality Control itself is the specific process we use to achieve consistency with your finished products, and in this we work closely with you and the vendor. Our Quality team conduct inspections on your behalf at different stages of the production process and before your orders leave the factory to be shipped to you.
Sometimes clients will come to us just for independent third party inspection provision where they do not need other elements of our end-to-end service.
All of this together gives a detailed quality control package that ensures you are compliant with regulations and meet your brand’s highest standards.
Compliance
The main objective of compliance is not only to ensure adequate and legal safety measures, but also to promote the health and welfare of our vendor workforces in their factories.
There are statutory factory compliance audits conducted to regulate the safety, health, licensing, working hours, annual leave, minimum wages, and other legal matters as clients would expect. All the factories that we work with are compliant in all these respects and do not in any way break the legal boundaries in their operations. In line with our own values, we work with our global clients and vendors to exceed minimum expectations and so that factories can with ease pass audits under the compliance systems of well-known brands such as Walmart , Target , Costco in the US or Tesco’s in the UK. Swades has the necessary checks and balances in place to do spot checks of the factories to ensure that at no point are the factories wavering from their compliance’s and that the required audits are taking place on time.
‘ I have no hesitation in recommending Swades for end to end sourcing as well as overseeing testing and compliance. They are 100% ethical and speak openly and honestly even when the news is hard to hear’. Buying Director, Multiple Gift Store Group UK
