Inspection Management System
Operational benchmarks: Report turnaround: From days to minutes. Monthly COPQ saved: Up to $48,200 in failure costs prevented. Volume managed: 40+ inspections per month across multiple countries.
Running inspections without a dedicated system means auditors are briefed over WhatsApp, schedules sit on personal spreadsheets nobody else can find, and PDF reports arrive two days late with no way to confirm who was actually there. For a buying house handling high volumes across multiple countries, that's not a process, it's a mess with a routine. Tekscrum QA puts everything on one governed platform, from booking and briefing through to GPS-verified delivery, so every stakeholder sees the same picture at the same time
- Inspection booking and scheduling
Book inspections against POs, assign auditors, and pick the inspection type, IPC, DUPRO, or Final Random. Everything runs from one dashboard. The back-and-forth email stops.
- Inspector mobile app (Smart Briefcase)
Auditors get their brief on their phone before they leave for the factory. Tech pack references, AQL standards, and checklists are already loaded. The app works offline, so factory floors with no WiFi are not a problem.
- GPS-verified audit trail (Truth Serum)
GPS coordinates and a timestamp are added to every picture at the time of capture. The location record and the inspection are permanently connected. Client disputes tend to stop early because the proof is already there.
- Auto-generated AQL reports
Enter the inspection data and the system calculates the AQL result, builds the report, and pushes it to the client dashboard. No manual assembly, no PDF email chains.
- Digital Handshake
The factory manager signs off digitally with GPS location and timestamp attached. That signature becomes the official record. No factory can claim they never received the report.
- Multi-client dashboard
One buying house portal handles multiple brand clients. Each client keeps its own AQL standards, inspection scopes, and report formats, separated and enforced without any manual effort.
Built for the field, not the office
Most inspection platforms are designed for managers at a desk. This one is designed for a basement in Dhaka with no WiFi. The mobile app works offline, captures GPS-stamped photos, and syncs the full report the moment a connection is available. Factories in Bangladesh and Faisalabad don't have reliable internet on the production floor. The app doesn't need it
GPS proof, not just promises
A paper report says an auditor was there. A Tekscrum QA report proves it. GPS coordinates, timestamps, and photos are captured inside the app and can't be pre-loaded or backdated. When a client raises a dispute, that proof ends the conversation fast.
Every client's rules, locked in
Zara wants AQL 2.5. H&M wants 1.5. Your Karachi client uses a different defect classification matrix than your UK client. Each brand links to its own locked standards and the system applies them automatically. Nothing to memorize, nothing to mix up.
Buying houses
Each brand relationship links to its own AQL standard, applied automatically without manual checks. WIP and inspection data publishes directly to buyer dashboards, so the daily update email disappears. COPQ reports generate on their own to show clients the financial return on your QC program.
QA agencies
Brief auditors by pushing instructions to their phone before they leave. Protect your agency in any client dispute with a verified GPS audit trail that holds up. Reduce the turnaround time for reports from days to minutes.
Brands
Every open inspection, live defect data, and WIP status in one place. AQL reports come with GPS proof attached, not just a PDF with no trail behind it. Factories get locked out of new POs automatically when their compliance certificates lapse.
How it works
Book the inspection. Raise the PO, select the inspection type, assign the auditor, push the brief to their app. Auditor inspects on-site. The offline-first mobile app captures GPS-stamped photos and runs AQL checks on the floor. Factory signs off. The manager signs digitally with GPS location and timestamp. Report published. The system generates the report, delivers it to brand and buying house dashboards in real time, and fires a Kill-Switch on any fail.
Industry statistics and benchmarks
A mid-size buyer typically faces around $48,200 per month in quality-related costs, internal scrap, rework, and shipping penalties add up fast. Mid-size QA agencies handle roughly 40 formal assessments a month, while individual factories process thousands of internal checklists on top of that. Paper-based reporting delays shipments by several days. Most buyers now expect reports finalized within 24 hours. Digital platforms get there in minutes. GPS watermarking removes the risk of falsified audits. The data indicates that the auditor was either physically present at the factory or not.
Every major apparel certification — tracked, audited, enforced.
Our auditors are trained against every major social, environmental, and quality standard in global apparel sourcing.
Business Social Compliance Initiative
The most widely required social audit for factories supplying European retailers — labour rights, health & safety, fair wages, working hours, and environmental compliance.
Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production
Prevalent across North & South American supply chains. Certifies lawful, ethical, humane production at Platinum, Gold, or Silver levels.
SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit
One of the world’s most used ethical audit formats — 2-pillar or 4-pillar. Results shared directly on the Sedex platform to reduce audit fatigue.
Global Organic Textile Standard
The leading processing standard for textiles made from certified organic fibres — ecological and social criteria across the whole chain.
OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100
Certifies every component of a textile has been tested for harmful substances — essential for childrenswear and intimate apparel.
SA8000 Social Accountability
One of the most rigorous social certifications, based on ILO conventions and the UN Declaration of Human Rights, with ongoing surveillance.
What QA teams say after switching to enforced QA.
“Factories used to claim they never got the updated spec. Now every change needs a digital signature with a timestamp. Disputes about what version was in production dropped to zero in our first season.”
“The COPQ reports were transformative. We could finally show clients in dollar terms how much our inspection programme saved them per season. We renewed three contracts off that data alone.”
“We went live in 11 days. Our auditors work in basements with zero WiFi — the offline app captures everything and syncs later. Factories were trained in an afternoon.”
“Three shipments were held at customs in two years over cert lapses nobody caught. Automatic expiry tracking with PO locks solved it permanently — 18 months without a single lapse.”
“Brands used to complain they had no visibility between PO and shipment. Now they log in and see exactly what stage every order is at, in real time. It transformed those relationships.”
“We cut our pre-shipment failure rate from 18% to under 5% in one season by adding DUPRO at 20% production. The extra visits cost less than a single chargeback we avoided in month one.”
Inspection Management System
Final Random Inspection, Corrective Action Plans, DUPRO, IPC, compliance audits, and lab testing administration. Each has its own checklist, AQL parameters, and report template.
Yes. Auditors in Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Vietnam, and Cambodia all use the same mobile app. Their reports, GPS data, and AQL results appear on one central dashboard in real time.
Photos taken in the app are watermarked with GPS coordinates and a timestamp at the moment of capture. The information cannot be altered after the fact because it is included in the photo file and the inspection report.
No. Factories get free login access to track open POs, book inspections, submit WIP updates, and respond to CAPs. There's no cost to them.
