Customer Profile
Industry: E-commerce hardware brand | Location: London, UK | Order: 8-month ongoing supply, 22 part numbers, monthly batches
The Challenge
“I’d wake up at 3am to check WeChat messages. Every batch was a gamble — would the parts match the last batch? Would the finish be consistent? My reputation with customers was on the line.”
A UK-based brand selling premium aluminum accessories needed consistent quality across monthly production batches. Previous supplier delivered parts that “looked the same” but varied in surface finish, thread quality, and tolerance drift over 6 months.
How QDJ Helped
- English Communication: No WeChat. All communication via email and weekly video calls in fluent English. Technical discussions, not emoji negotiation.
- Batch Documentation: Every shipment includes CMM inspection reports, surface finish measurements, and production batch photos — traceable by batch number.
- Process Control: Documented SOP for each part number — tooling, feeds, speeds, inspection points locked after first article approval.
- Transparent Timeline: Shared production calendar with real-time status updates. No “it’s almost ready” — specific dates.
