Before placing an order with a supplier, it is critical to know who you are dealing with. You might have had a direct contact with a 'sales manager' on an Internet platform or even met someone at a tradeshow. This is not enough. Any buyer need to be sure of who is he dealing with. Nothing will be more helpful than a factory audit for that.

Very often your contact would not at all be employed by the factory and therefore would have little control over the production schedule and results for orders.

LPI helps you uncover what stands behind an online showcase of a potential supplier. We also allow you to take an informed decision based on a complete assessment of the factory.

Different audits are available according to your need, and production needs.
