When vetting makes sense
For supplier decisions that need more than a quotation.
Standalone vetting is for buyers who already have a prospective factory and only need GoSaffa to perform the agreed checks. You do not have to source the product, place the order or manage the purchase through GoSaffa.
The complete process
How factory vetting works.
The work starts with the decision you need to make. Checks are then selected for that context instead of applying a generic checklist without regard for the product or risk.
- 01
Describe the decision
Share the supplier, factory, product, location and commercial decision you need to make.
An initial vetting requirement we can assess. - 02
Agree the scope
We define what can reasonably be checked, which evidence matters and whether the review should be remote or on site.
A proposed scope with assumptions and exclusions. - 03
Verify the business
Available registration, identity, operating and contact information is reviewed against the agreed brief.
A clearer view of the business behind the offer. - 04
Assess capability
The facility, production route, equipment, workforce and quality practices are assessed to the depth agreed.
Evidence relevant to the claimed capability. - 05
Consolidate evidence
Findings, inconsistencies, limitations and unanswered questions are recorded rather than smoothed over.
A traceable view of what was and was not established. - 06
Review the findings
You receive a structured report designed to support the next commercial decision, not replace it.
A decision-ready report and recommended follow-ups.
Typical vetting scopes
Choose the depth the decision requires.
Availability, timing, access, geography and fees are confirmed in the quotation.
Remote capability review
Assess submitted documents, production evidence, video material and responses against a defined capability brief.
Factory assessment
Coordinate an in-person facility assessment against an agreed checklist, subject to location and access.
A useful starting brief
What helps us quote accurately.
You do not need to have every document. Start with the supplier, product, decision and risks you know about; the quote wizard will identify the information that shapes scope.
- Supplier or factory legal and trading names
- Factory address, country and primary contacts
- Products, specifications and estimated order volume
- Claims or risks you specifically need checked
- Supplier quotations, certificates or reference links
- Your decision deadline and preferred review depth
What you receive
Findings you can use, with uncertainty preserved.
- An agreed vetting scope and evidence checklist
- Structured findings against the approved brief
- Observed inconsistencies and information gaps
- Supporting evidence where available and permitted
- Limitations and recommended follow-up actions
