Sourcing & quality control
Finding supply that matches the spec on paper, and proving it before the container leaves.
Scoped engagement · Supplier qualification
The problem
Most sourcing failures are not price failures. They are specification failures: a sample that does not match the lot, a chemical panel that drifts between harvests, a producer who cannot repeat last year's profile at volume.
How I work
- Write the specification before the negotiation, in your brand's quality language.
- Qualify producers on repeatability at volume, not on a single flattering sample.
- Third-party panels and retained counter-samples on every lot, referenced in the contract.
- One document trail from sample to bill of lading, so a claim can be settled with evidence.
What changes
Your brand delivers repeatable quality, with the evidence and supplier relationships to grow.
