What we inspect
From verifying a supplier before you pay to supervising the container as it loads — pick one checkpoint or run them all.
Is the supplier real and capable? We confirm company registration, export licence, references and — where it matters — visit the premises, so you never wire a deposit to a trading-company front.
Verify a supplierAn on-site assessment of capacity, machinery, quality-management systems, working conditions and compliance documents — so you know the factory can actually deliver your volume and quality.
Audit a factoryAt the very start of the run we check raw materials and the first-off samples against your specification — catching the wrong component or colour before the whole batch is made.
Book an IPCA random sample pulled from the line while production is running — verifying quality and schedule at the point where a correction is still cheap and there's time to fix it.
Book a DUPROThe final gate before payment and shipment: AQL sampling per ISO 2859 for workmanship, function, measurements, packaging and labelling. The report you sign off the balance against.
Book a PSIRight goods, right quantity, right container. We document cargo condition, count the cartons, check stowage and record the seal number — so what leaves the factory is what you ordered.
Supervise loadingWe send samples to accredited labs and manage the process end to end — chemical safety (REACH/CPSIA), durability, flammability and heavy metals — and hand you the certificate.
Arrange lab testsTell us the product and where you are in the order — we'll recommend the right checkpoint. No charge, no obligation.

Social proof
"Cakglo caught a critical defect in production that would have cost us €50k in returns. Their report arrived before we even shipped. Worth every penny."
Maria Kline · Sourcing Manager, Munich"We were sceptical about a third party, but their objectivity actually saved our relationship with the supplier. Quality went up."
James Okonkwo · VP Sourcing, UK Household Goods"Next-day reports, German precision, and inspectors who actually know the product. This is the QC partner we'd been looking for."

FAQ
AQL (Acceptance Quality Limit) is the international ISO 2859 standard for how many units from a batch to inspect. A batch of 10,000 units typically requires 200–300 unit checks depending on AQL level — the industry standard for statistical quality assurance.
Verify a new supplier before you pay (Supplier Verification, Factory Audit). Check raw materials at production start (IPC). Sample mid-run at 20–60% (DUPRO). Do a final AQL check at 100% produced (PSI). Supervise the container at loading (CLS). Add Lab Testing where regulations require it. Not sure? Book a free call and we'll map it to your order.
5–7 working days notice is ideal; 24–48 hours is possible for urgent cases depending on inspector availability. Pre-shipment inspections should be scheduled for the final week of production.
