Only the best factories

At Raven Procurement , we know that trusting a supplier thousands of miles away isn't easy. That's why we personally evaluate every factory we work with. Here's exactly what we check to ensure you receive quality, ethical practices, and reliability on every project.

Production capacity

We ensure that the factory has the actual capacity to manufacture the requested product in the agreed quantity and timeframe. To do this, we review its production history, analyze similar past orders, and evaluate its production lines through video calls or on-site audits.

Working conditions

We assess whether workers operate in a safe, clean environment that adheres to ethical labor standards. We request visual documentation of the facilities, inquire about shifts and safety measures, and prioritize factories with audits such as BSCI or Sedex.

Certifications

Depending on the product type, we verify that they have the necessary certifications, such as ISO, CE, BSCI, or RoHS. We also confirm that these certifications are valid and issued by recognized bodies, ensuring that the supplier meets technical and ethical standards.

Efficient communication

Communication is key. We ensure that staff can understand technical requirements and respond quickly. We conduct virtual meetings to assess their English proficiency, response times, and document organization skills.

Equipment and technology

We verify that the factory has suitable machinery in good working order to guarantee product quality. We request technical documentation, photos of the workshop, and up-to-date lists of the equipment used in their production process.

Fair treatment for the staff

We want factories to maintain ethical labor relations, paying fair wages and offering decent working conditions. We request internal policies, standard contracts, and data on benefits, staff turnover, and compliance with labor laws.

On-site audit

When the operation requires it, we arrange on-site visits or visits through local auditors to verify all the aspects mentioned. We document each visit with photos, videos, and a detailed report, and in certain cases, we involve certified inspection companies.

International experience

It is essential that the supplier understands the demands of foreign markets. Therefore, we check if they have already exported, which countries they have served, and if they have references from international brands. We also validate their logistical capacity.
