QCDIY is the No. 1 online platform for self inspection. We advocate that the suppliers check the quality themselves, submitting the professional reports with photos and self declarations to the buyers. This will increase the buyers’ confidence in the suppliers while reducing transaction costs.

You should not solely rely on 3rd party inspectors to improve the quality.  The way buyers and suppliers handle in house quality controls and communicate with each other is more important in the long run. QCDIY will help manufacturers adhere to the buyers’ requirements more closely, with self-inspecting, reporting and during production adjustments.  Problems and difficulties in the cooperation include, 

 The buyers are not familiar with the general quality problems of the products they are importing, and thus could not specify the inspection requirement in advance.

 Suppliers are familiar with the production process, but do not understand the international market’s quality requirements.

 Suppliers do not know much about the internationally-recognized testing method or standards.

 Suppliers have their own QC personnel. However, these technicians are specialized in quality check only. They do not know well how to present the inspection result effectively in an English report.

 Suppliers’ lack the English skills to effectively communicate with the buyers by the reports.

QCDIY provides the solutions that enable the buyers and suppliers to improve QC management while communicating more effectively and conveniently.

 Pioneering concept

Different from 3rd party inspection, QCDIY is suggesting a more thorough quality control management model. We believe that as the producer (1st party), the supplier’s awareness, level of the involvement and understanding about the buyer (2nd party)’s quality requirement is the most important factor that can help improve the quality level. QCDIY is dedicated to establishing convenient management platform and providing technical supports to the 1st and 2nd party’s quality control.

 Low cost

Timely quality control is very important; we cannot let it hang back in the face of high cost. In QCDIY platform, it is free for the buyers to receive the inspection reports.  And sending a report costs only $1, which compared to $200-$300 per inspection, is negligible. This low cost simple way encourages the suppliers and buyers to communicate with each other, helping to detect problems early and solve them quickly and satisfactorily.

Actually, there are buyers, sellers, 3rd party inspectors, trading agents and buying office’s QC, and shipping agents that are using QCDIY. (Check out the graph below).

With QCDIY, the self declaration is backed up with photographic evidence and detailed records.

The buyer can send an inspection instruction letter via QCDIY to specify the data or information required to be included in the report. QCDIY’s instruction letter lists the general check items of different production categories, and the buyers could select from them conveniently. The supplier will follow this instruction to finish the inspection and reporting, and then submit a valid self-declaration.

Some buyers choose to include QCDIY’s report and declaration in the required document list for L/C negotiation.
