How SourceSquid covers Bengaluru

## Your team in Bengaluru.

Our Bengaluru team covers Bengaluru in person: factory search, audits, samples and inspections. This is what working with us there looks like.

  * **Factory search on the ground** Our Bengaluru team visits Bengaluru to screen factories in person, then shares a named shortlist with the evidence behind it.
  * **Audits before you commit** On-site audits of the strongest Bengaluru candidates, scored on capability, quality systems and capacity.
  * **Samples to golden sample** First articles measured against your drawing, then a signed golden sample that every lot is checked against.
  * **Inspections on every lot** In-line and pre-shipment inspections in Bengaluru to your AQL, with photo and measurement reports.
  * **We speak Kannada** The language of Bengaluru's factory floors, so questions get answered at the machine, not after a week of email.
  * **Shipping via New Mangalore** We plan the route to New Mangalore or ICD Whitefield, and check export documents before the truck leaves.
