Leather Quality Control & Quality Assurance Services
Avoid Delays in Your Lead Time and Reduce More Than
25% of Errors in Your Leather Supply Chain
Here’s what the industry looks like right now… if you get your leather quality wrong your shoes will not be produced on time and that means significant losses in lead time and meeting your commitment to ship your shoe orders on time.
You must avoid delays in your lead times due to poor leather arriving at your shoe factories. Impactiva’s leather quality assurance services can help reduce more than 25% of errors in your processes.
Your leather arrives at the factory with quality issues and has to be sent back to be re-worked. This is clearly not eco-friendly because you have to put it on trucks, rework it, and bring it back to the factory. The result? Your shoes are not produced on time, and you have spent thousands of additional dollars to get a $10 or $15 dollar shoe
produced right the first time.
Our Mission
To define your leather standards in precise detail before the start of each production season so that 100% of the leather can be inspected at your tanneries and go directly to the cutting rooms of your factories without requiring a re-inspection, resulting in +98% of the square feet arriving without problems and ≥ US$0.12 / sq. ft. of waste eliminated from your leather supply chain.
For more than three years, Ariat International used Impactiva to develop and operate a leather quality assurance program for our extensive leather supply chain. During this period, Impactiva successfully helped us to:
- Define detailed leather specifications and standards
- Inspect the majority of Ariat's leather at our tanneries
- Support our shoe factories with any concerns or issues they had with incoming leather resulting in +99% of the leather shipped meeting or exceeding our requirements.
This valuable service allowed us to significantly reduce our production lead times (as delays due to bad leather were eliminated) and improve the overall quality of our finished product, eliminating customer claims and chargebacks due to defective leather.
I would without a doubt recommend Impactiva as an effective, trustworthy and professional partner to anyone experiencing leather problems in their manufacturing supply chain.
