Factory & Site Visits
An authorized visit to see the agreed location, facilities, goods or production — recorded with dated evidence when permitted.
Every job is assessed first, then quoted.
Sound familiar?
You need someone to physically see the factory, the goods or the production line before you commit or pay the balance.
What We Check / Do
- Agreed location: whether the address visited matches the address given to you
- Visible facilities: buildings, production areas and warehouse space we are allowed to see
- Authorized contact: who received us, and their stated role
- Selected equipment or goods named in your checklist
- Selected production milestones (e.g. materials in stock, work in progress, finished and packed goods)
- Items on your custom checklist, such as labels, packaging or visible quantities
- Optional: a live video call during the visit so you can see the site yourself
The exact scope is agreed with you in writing before we start.
How We Work
- Needs confirmationYou tell us the situation and what you need checked or handled.
- Scope & authorizationWe agree what is in scope, what evidence is possible and what permissions are needed.
- QuoteYou receive a clear written quote and statement of work. No surprises.
- ExecutionWe carry out the agreed checks or tasks and log every source.
- ReviewA person reviews findings and evidence status before anything is released.
- DeliveryYou receive the agreed deliverables and can ask follow-up questions.
Method options
- Remote record and document checks
- Remote live video check — labeled “Observed remotely”
- On-site visit by our own staff
- On-site visit by a screened local professional or agency — only with your approval, disclosed in the quote
High-risk or technical inspections (e.g. lab testing, certified QC inspections) are referred to an agency with the relevant capability or accreditation.
What You’ll Receive
| Deliverable | Contents & format |
|---|---|
| English visit report (PDF) | Findings, a status for every checklist item, and our observations |
| Selected media files | Dated photos / videos, numbered and referenced in the report (only where filming is permitted) |

Reports are in English. Files are delivered by email or a shared folder, as agreed.
Evidence You Receive
We don’t ask you to take our word for it. With this service you receive:
| Evidence | What it shows and how you can check it |
|---|---|
| Timestamped, geotagged photos | Each photo is numbered and keeps its original date, time and location data, so you can see it was taken at the agreed address on the visit day. Only where the site permits photos. |
| Walk-through video | Unedited video of the areas we were allowed to film, with the date and time. |
| Signed visit log | Arrival and departure times, who received us, areas seen and areas we were not allowed to see. Signed by our visitor, and countersigned by the site contact if they agree. |
| Signed checklist | Your checklist, with a status, observation and evidence number for every item. |
| Live video option | If you want to see the site yourself, we can open a live video call during the visit. Anything you see this way is labeled “Observed remotely”. |
Every finding in the report points to the evidence file behind it. If something cannot be backed up, it is marked “Not Verified” and we explain why. See our commitments.
Scope & Limitations
Every item in our report carries one of these statuses:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Independently Verified | We checked it ourselves against an independent source or by direct observation. The method, source, date and evidence number are recorded. |
| Supplier Stated | The supplier or partner told us or showed us this (including photos or documents they sent). We record it, but have not confirmed it independently. |
| Not Verified | We could not confirm it — no access, no reliable source, or conflicting information. We explain why. |
| Observed remotely | Seen through a live video call, not in person. Always labeled separately; never presented as an on-site visit. |
What this service cannot confirm or does not include
- Site access, filming and interviews require the site’s permission. We cannot guarantee unrestricted access.
- A visit is an observation, not a formal quality inspection, laboratory test or certification. For professional inspection we will recommend a qualified agency.
- What we see on the day reflects that day only.
- Where a check is done by remote video instead of in person, it is labeled “Observed remotely”.
