Compliance & social audit management · Apparel & textile manufacturing
Factories audit-ready before the order ships.
Each brand demands its own audit on its own clock, papers scattered across factory, audit firm, and portal. A lapsed cert holds an order that is already cut.
The reality
Compliance is a documentation problem.
An audit is a paper chain: the audit schedule, the report findings, the corrective action plan, and the brand's approval submission — each on a different deadline, in a different system. When a brand demands a fresh audit before they will release the order, someone has to book the firm, close the CAP findings, and submit the package to the brand portal before the ship date.
The operator owns the audit cycle end to end. It tracks every factory's audit status and certificate expiry, schedules the audit with the firm, drives each corrective action to closure with evidence, and submits the approval package to the brand — so no order sits on a compliance hold.
