This is what an inspection report looks like. The figures are an example.

An order in Bangladesh has many points where it can go wrong. Yarn, colour, measurements, seams, labels, packing, deadline. I check every one of them before it gets expensive.

Everything between order and arrival.

For fashion brands, retailers and importers who manufacture in Bangladesh without an office of their own there.

Production management

On site in the factory. And reachable in between.

I follow your orders from sample to shipment. Regularly in person at the factories, and between trips by video call, photos and reports from Germany.

  • Check and approve samples and size sets
  • Track production progress and delivery dates
  • Solve problems before they turn into delays
  • Reports in English or German, with photos

Sourcing and negotiation

Yarn, fabric, trims. At the right price.

I collect quotes, compare them and negotiate with spinning mills, fabric mills and suppliers. You decide based on clear numbers.

Quality control

Pre-shipment inspection to AQL.

Sampling to the international standard: measurements, workmanship, colour, labels and packing. Results with photos before the goods are loaded.

When the day starts in Germany, production in Dhaka is already running.
