Exposure begins upstream. If you cannot prove where a shipment originated and who controlled it before it reached you, everything downstream is built on an assumption.
Every active supplier scored against verification, concentration, documentation, and history, with a defined action for each tier.
A written qualification procedure your purchasing team applies before any new supplier is approved, including required evidence.
A rewritten inbound procedure covering count verification, discrepancy handling, and the point at which a shipment is held rather than accepted.
We approach provenance strictly from the buyer-protection side. The objective is ensuring you can demonstrate that everything you purchased came from a legitimate source, which protects the company commercially, contractually, and reputationally.
A chain-of-custody audit takes two to four weeks and ends with a written report you can act on immediately. Initial consultations are complimentary and confidential.
