How quality control works with HQ

One release record for the product, pack and label.

HQ checks the agreed quality points and labeling fields before the batch moves into fulfillment.

REPLACE: factory floor photo

Inbound inspection

Count it and compare it with the approved reference.

When goods reach the agreed inspection point, HQ checks the batch against the approved sample, specification and inspection level. Exceptions are recorded for a release decision.

Labeling & tagging

Apply or verify the fields the warehouse must scan.

HQ can apply or check agreed SKU labels, barcodes, FNSKU labels, product tags and shipping labels. The exact content, placement and source file are confirmed before work begins.

What HQ handles

  • SKU, barcode or FNSKU value matched to the approved item record
  • Label placement and readability checked against the brief

Pre-shipment check

Hold exceptions; release only the approved batch.

Before release, HQ checks the agreed product, quantity, packaging and label points. A failed or unclear item is held for the customer's decision instead of being silently passed forward.

What comes next

  • Inbound and release checks
  • Defect-rate tracking

Why brands run QC through HQ

Batch inspection with the labels checked too.

Product condition, quantity, packaging, function and agreed labeling fields belong to the same release record.

Reports with photos

Every finding is photographed and filed online, so you see the defect instead of just reading about it.

Labeling & tagging

Apply or verify agreed SKU, barcode, FNSKU, product, brand and shipping labels, including placement and readable values.

Inbound and release checks

Inspect at the agreed point, then confirm the required release checks before goods move into storage, packing or shipping.

Defect-rate tracking

We log every batch's fail rate, so you can see which factory is slipping before it costs you.

How it works

Inspect, label, release.

Goods move only after the agreed checks and exception decision are recorded.

Quality control questions, answered straight.

The factory's inspector works for the factory. Ours works for you. They get paid when goods pass. We don't. That's the whole job: someone with no reason to sign off a bad batch.

Depends on the order. Small runs get checked piece by piece. Bigger ones get an AQL sample, and if defects show up we widen the pull. You set the standard, not us.

We hold it, send you the photos, and lay out the options: fix, rework, or send it back. Nothing ships until you say so. You're not on the hook for goods that never left.

Yes, when the label file, exact value, placement and quantity are approved in advance. HQ can also verify existing product, brand and shipping labels as part of the batch release record.

Yes. Use your checklist, your tolerances, your spec. We follow yours unless you'd rather we use ours.

Set the batch standard before the goods arrive.

Send the approved specification, inspection level and every label or barcode field HQ should verify.
