When a visit can help
A visit may be appropriate when the order is significant, the product is customized, the process is technically important, or you need to clarify production capability and working arrangements before committing.
What a visit can examine
A visit can help document the facility, production flow, equipment, sample room, materials, packaging, communication, and questions raised by the buyer. The exact scope should be agreed before travel.
What it cannot guarantee
A visit is a snapshot, not a guarantee of every future production run. A buyer should still use specifications, samples, contracts, quality checks, and appropriate testing.
Before you begin
Prepare the product brief, target quantity, destination market, timing, budget assumptions, and the specific decision you need help making.
A useful decision checklist
- Do you visit every factory?
- Can I join a video call during the visit?
- Will I receive photos and a written report?
What to do next
After the scope is clear, the next step is a written brief and a practical conversation about what Sourcing Ally should handle.
