Quality & Compliance

Responsible retailers know that compliance with regulatory standards for quality, safety and social responsibility is all part of the complex business of global sourcing. Failure to comply can have a negative impact on sales and bring negative publicity that forces you to remove product from shelves because of poor quality or dangerous merchandise. In the worst case, your brand can disappear overnight.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control teams need to work closely with merchants, factories and 3rd party testing organizations in building product from every stage of product development until the day the product is shipped. They require tracking systems that can monitor the end to end product development process to ensure that merchandise meets safety and quality standards and is fit to be sold.

CBX Compliance supports the technical, ethical and social compliance issues retailers and brands face when dealing with factory audits and supplier improvement plans, ensuring that all parties are adhering to the strictest rules and regulations of trade. CBX Quality facilitates the preliminary and post order tracking of product samples, tests, compliance, and approvals locating the information centrally and making it easily visible. Since CBX is a web based tool, companies with varying levels of IT sophistication have little problem using the system.
