If you buy garments, other types of textile products, or in general some orders that require pre-production approvals and close follow up of a mostly manual (and potentially very inconsistent) production process, a Production Monitoring Program from Sofeast can help you.
This program is primarily for buyers of apparel and other soft goods who don’t want to leave anything to chance.
Certain orders necessitate a lot of attention, from the approval of pre-production lab dips and samples, all the way to production quality and shipments.
If a large order for a key customer suffers quality issues and delays, the financial implications can be very heavy.
Sofeast follows up on the progress of development and manufacturing for you, sending someone on-site when needed to gather first-hand information, and reviewing samples in our office. We report the results regularly back to you, the buyer.
It is a combination of off-site project management and communication, off-site sample reviews, and on-site inspections.

If your suppliers are in China, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, or Bangladesh, you may not have the ability to fly someone there to check what is going on and give you quick feedback. You can rely on our local teams.
In addition, you may have difficulty communicating with some of your suppliers. Our local staff will usually be able to get your messages across effectively in their language.
From 299 USD per man-day for work in factories.
Setting up and running your apparel production monitoring program costs 40 USD per hour for office work, 299 USD per man-day for work in factories. Pricing is negotiable based on the volume of work.

This is the typical approach we’ll use to provide you with a production monitoring program that ensures improved quality:
Some factories don’t have good management systems and fail to implement the corrective actions or do rework where needed.
When dealing with a difficult supplier like this we specifically focus on following the above steps during the sewing, finishing, and packing phases.
