When relying on suppliers for quality control, brands often suffer from a lack of visibility into the QC process. This can lead to unchecked errors, delayed reporting, and an overall lack of accountability. Factored Quality eliminates these issues by providing real-time updates and detailed reports through our advanced software platform. Without this level of visibility, brands are left in the dark, relying solely on supplier assurances without concrete evidence of quality standards being met.

Suppliers typically do not offer robust data or analytics to track quality control results, making it difficult for brands to identify trends, spot recurring issues, or make informed decisions. Factored Quality’s software delivers comprehensive analytics, giving you deep insights into product performance and factory efficiency. This data is crucial for continuous improvement and maintaining high-quality standards. Without such tools, brands must rely on anecdotal evidence and sporadic reports from suppliers, which can lead to suboptimal decision-making.

Supplier-led quality control often suffers from a lack of organization and consistency. Reporting can be infrequent, inconsistent, and sometimes non-existent, which hampers your ability to ensure products meet your standards. Factored Quality provides structured and consistent QC processes with regular, detailed reporting. Without this consistency, brands may face fragmented QC processes and storage of information in multiple areas, complicating the quality assurance process.

Relying on suppliers for quality control creates a full dependency on the manufacturer, which can lead to conflicts and animosity if issues arise. This dependency also means that brands have little leverage in ensuring that quality standards are met consistently. Factored Quality offers an independent QC service, providing unbiased assessments and fostering a collaborative rather than adversarial relationship with suppliers. Without this independence, brands risk strained relationships and a lack of control over product quality.
