# SourceSquid: product sourcing, inspection and compliance in India and China

SourceSquid finds the right factory for your product in India, China or Vietnam, checks every lot before it ships, and keeps you compliant in every market you sell to. One team runs all three, so the factory we choose is the factory we inspect and the evidence we file.

Any product, any stage: new product, cost-down, second source, nearshoring or strategic sourcing. We tell you where it should be made, even when the answer isn't India or China: India and China through our own teams, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand through partner inspectors, and other countries through trusted partners.

## Services
- **Sourcing:** named shortlists of factories in India, China and Vietnam, compared on landed cost, capability and audit results. China + 1 second sourcing that keeps your current supplier and adds a qualified second lane.
- **Quality:** factory audits, in-line inspection at 20 to 30 percent of production, pre-shipment inspection to ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, loading checks. Every report carries a code you can verify on sourcesquid.co.
- **Compliance and ESG:** exposure mapping and supplier evidence for PPWR, CBAM, EUDR, CSRD, UFLPA and REACH; ISO 9001 and 14001 readiness.
- **Expo desk:** we attend trade fairs in India and China for you at USD 290 per person-day, with a named supplier shortlist, booth photos and videos, samples and a daily WhatsApp report.
