Supplier verification and quality control, before and during production

A good quotation is not enough. LYBAM reviews what a supplier can show about export capability, documentation and product photography before recommending it, and stays involved through sampling and production follow-up.

Who it is for

Buyers placing a first order with a new supplier, and buyers who want a China-side team to follow up on quality questions while a run is in progress.

Where the boundary is

A documentation review is not a substitute for an in-person factory audit where one is warranted, and coordination is not a substitute for a paid third-party inspection. LYBAM can help arrange either separately.

You provide
The product or category you are evaluating suppliers for, and later an approved sample and a confirmed order.
LYBAM delivers
A documented review of export history, certification documents on file and photo authenticity; coordinated sample requests; and follow-up on quality questions through the production run.
How it works

Four steps, no hidden stages.

1

Documents

LYBAM asks the supplier for the documents that matter for your product and market and records what exists.

2

Photos

Product photography is checked for authenticity so what you see matches what will be made.

3

Samples

Sample requests are coordinated and your feedback is relayed back to the supplier.

4

Production follow-up

Quality questions are followed up as they arise, and an independent inspection can be coordinated if you want one.

Questions buyers ask

Straight answers.

Do you audit factories?

LYBAM reviews documentation and coordinates follow-up. An in-person audit or a third-party inspection is a separate service that LYBAM can help arrange.

Do you guarantee a supplier's certificates?

No. LYBAM reports what documents exist and what is still unconfirmed. Certificate validity is for the issuing body to confirm.

Where can I read the checklist?

The supplier verification guide on this site lists what to confirm before production and before shipment.
