Runwen Sourcing Team
A practical overview of supplier verification steps before placing sample or production orders.
Manufacturer verification usually starts with basic business information, product capability and communication consistency. A supplier should be able to explain what they make, which processes are completed in-house and which processes may be outsourced.
Remote checks can include document review, workshop photos, production videos, quotation comparison and technical questions. For important projects, on-site visits provide stronger practical observations.
Verification does not remove all commercial risk, but it helps buyers avoid decisions based only on online profiles or low prices.
