Quality & PO management
Risk-based order programs
- Mission plans per supplier and product
- Supplier self-inspection programs
- On-site missions when they add value
- AQL sampling to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4
Intelligently connecting your supply chain.
We design the order-management program each purchase order needs and coordinate everyone involved, from your suppliers in Asia to your warehouse in the Americas.
Online, every supplier looks good.
We validate each company against official registries and send people to the ground. Only the suppliers that hold up enter your supplier development program.
Then the order takes shape.
Negotiation, a bilingual contract and the local contract for your market, before a single unit is produced.
Missions where they matter. Data everywhere else.
Risk decides the plan: GIS on site where it adds value, structured self-inspection by the supplier everywhere else.
Ready at origin. Accompanied through clearance.
Pre-customs clearance at origin: labeling checks and a sealed, documented container. At destination, local customs agents and brokers take over, with GIS alongside you.
One order. One partner. Both ends.
Payment released on your approval, and every document, report and decision in iOrderSmart.
Individual actions alone don’t protect you.
We know it from years of successful integration in the global supply chain. GIS connects every step into one program: we own the plan, the standard and the data, and your GIS team works with you to reach solutions that make sense for your business.
-
Risk decides the plan
Supplier record, product complexity, destination rules and past results set where attention goes. Nothing is inspected out of habit.
-
Suppliers become part of the system
We set up self-inspection programs with your suppliers, so every order arrives with structured, standardized data you can compare.
-
GIS steps in where it adds value
On-site missions happen when the risk or the data calls for them, carried out with market-leading partners under GIS standards.
Three disciplines. One accountable partner.
Sourcing, quality and logistics work as one program, under one team, in one platform.

Work with GIS.
We are building a network of local partners across Latin America: customs agents, forwarders, consultancies and trade organizations that want to offer their clients a turnkey solution from Asia, by referral or under a partnership agreement.
Questions buyers ask.
What does GIS do?
GIS designs and runs order-management programs: supplier development before the order, a risk-based mission plan during production, and shipment and customs support at the end, all coordinated in iOrderSmart.
Why don’t you publish prices?
Because every program is different. We assess your suppliers, products and orders first, then propose the plan that gives you the most control for the budget.
Can my suppliers really inspect their own production?
Yes, within a program. We set up self-inspection with your suppliers, define what they report and how, and verify their data with targeted GIS missions.
Which countries do you cover?
Operations in China, with partners in Vietnam and Indochina. Offices in Mexico, a presence in Chile and Colombia, and partners across Latin America. We also serve buyers in the US, Europe and Australia.
Do you handle Mexican customs requirements?
Yes. We run pre-customs clearance at origin, NOM labeling checks and coordination with your customs agent before the container is sealed.
How do we start?
Talk to a GIS representative. We review one or two current orders with you and propose a first program.
