What brands check before sourcing
A brand looking for a manufacturer evaluates four things: product categories you actually make, monthly capacity, compliance and audit status, and how quickly you can produce a sample. None of these appear on a typical factory site, which shows a photograph of a production floor and a contact form. So brands work through agents, who take a margin precisely because they hold the information buyers cannot find.
What we build for a garment factory
First, capacity and machinery pages with monthly output by product type and the equipment behind it. Second, product categories with minimum order quantities and lead times, so a brand can self-qualify. Third, compliance and audit status published — social, quality, environmental — because this is a hard gate for most international buyers. Fourth, a documented sampling process with timelines, which is the first real test of any factory relationship.
