Quality control
Control at three points of the chain — so acceptance at the DC is predictable for the buyer and for us.
Where we control
Three checkpoints
The earlier a defect is caught, the cheaper it is. We check before problems get on a truck.
At origin and loading
Inspection at the supplier's site and at loading — arranged through partners in the region of origin.
At the sorting centre
Incoming control and re-grading when the batch passes through partner sorting facilities.
Before handover
A final check before the goods leave for the buyer or the distribution centre.
What we check
Five things, every batch
Appearance
Condition, colour, absence of visible defects.
Calibre
Size uniformity against the agreed specification.
Packaging integrity
Undamaged, clean packaging in the correct format.
Labelling
Markings match the product, the batch and the network's standard.
Documents
The document set is complete and consistent with the cargo.
The result
Predictable acceptance
Control at three points means acceptance at the distribution centre stops being a lottery. Discrepancies are caught before the gate — not at it.
