TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT
Defined supplier / factory verification visit.
Commercial model: Fixed fee per visit/day + agreed travel.
SUPPLIER VERIFICATION
The quotation looks right.Is the factory?
A professional website, certificates, factory photographs and an attractive quotation do not necessarily tell you how your order will actually be manufactured.
The questions that matter are operational:
- Is this the real production facility?
- Which processes happen here?
- Which are subcontracted?
- Is capacity genuinely available?
- Are quality controls actually used?
- Can this operation support your product and volume?
On the Ground. On Your Side.
AN INDEPENDENT SUPPLIER REALITY CHECK
Verify the supplier behind the quotation.

DIRECT ANSWERS
Questions about supplier support in India.
Can RightThere visit my existing supplier in India?
An on-ground visit can be considered where location, scope, availability and supplier access allow it. Share the facility location and your requirement to confirm support.
Do I need to have sourced the supplier through RightThere?
No. RightThere supports overseas buyers working with suppliers they already know, subject to the suitability and scope of the engagement.
What happens after a supplier reality check?
The Supplier Reality Report records relevant evidence, risk observations, clarification questions and recommended next steps. If you decide to place an order, first PO protection can help establish visibility during execution.
What does RightThere check before I place an order with an Indian supplier?
The Supplier Reality Check examines the facility, manufacturing capability, capacity indicators, quality controls, subcontracting and operational risks against your requirement. The aim is to clarify whether the supplier can support your product and volume.
How is a Supplier Reality Check different from a generic factory audit?
It is tailored to your proposed order rather than a generic checklist. RightThere examines how the relevant work would actually be carried out and which operating risks need clarification before you commit.
