Bring your onboarding checklistMake the request
Make the request
useful from the start.
Send the name of your business, the proposed product category and destination market, together with your supplier-onboarding requirements. Identify which documents your team needs to review and any particular scope or validity expectations.
The team can then discuss the relevant records, the facility they relate to and any project-specific testing or follow-up that needs to be agreed. Requesting a document does not replace reviewing what it actually covers.
For product questions, begin with the sample and material specification. For facility questions, begin with the audit and the appropriate business records. The two forms of evidence support different decisions.
