Supplier Assessment

Know Your Supplier Before You Place the Order

Factory audit services in India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Laos that show whether a supplier can deliver your product, quality and compliance before you commit.

A factory audit is an on-site assessment of a supplier’s capability, quality system and working conditions. Integrated Overseas carries out factory audits for apparel, workwear and footwear buyers across our sourcing countries.

Our auditors review equipment, capacity, production flow, quality control and documentation, and check social compliance against recognised frameworks. You receive a structured report with findings, photos and recommended corrective actions.

Factory audits are part of our wider inspection services. Once production starts, we follow with inline and pre-shipment inspections.

Factory Audit FAQs

Common questions about supplier and factory audits in Asia.

A factory audit is an on-site assessment of a supplier. It checks whether the factory has the capability, capacity, quality system and working conditions needed to produce your goods reliably and responsibly.

The terms are often used together. A supplier audit usually refers to assessing a vendor before onboarding, while a factory audit can cover capability, quality or social compliance at a specific production site.

Yes. We assess working hours, wages, health and safety and workers' rights, and we review existing certificates and reports from recognised schemes the factory already holds.

We audit factories in India, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Laos, which are also the countries in our sourcing network.

You receive a scored report with photos and recommended corrective actions. We can then follow up on those actions and continue with pre-shipment inspections once production begins.
