Services
Scoped work with defined deliverables. Pricing is quoted per engagement — tell us what you need and you receive a scoped quote.
Aura visits the factory in person — in Quanzhou, Jinjiang or Shishi — and documents what is actually there: the premises, the production lines, the people you would be working with, and whether the supplier's claims match what can be observed.
View verification visit scopeBefore your goods leave the factory, Aura inspects the finished order against your specification: workmanship, measurements, quantity and packaging for apparel and textiles, footwear, and simple fashion and textile accessories.
View pre-shipment inspection scopeA gated, written review of your product and intended supplier before you commit: whether the product fits the supplier category, what the realistic risks are, and what your next step should be. Acceptance is confirmed after a short review of your requirements.

Every engagement ends in writing. Example report formats are available on request — email us or use the quote form.
Dated photos, observed facts separated from supplier claims, and points that could not be verified.
Measurements against your tolerances, defect photos, packaging checks, and an outcome: release recommended, hold and correct, or buyer decision required.
A written factory-side assessment of your product and supplier situation, with recommended next steps.
How it works
Product details, quantities and — for visits and inspections — the supplier's name and address.
Aura confirms what the work covers and what it costs before anything is scheduled.
Attendance is arranged with the supplier. Short travel times may make rapid response possible; factory access and schedule are confirmed first.
The visit or inspection is carried out in person and documented with dated photos and notes.
You receive the findings — observed facts, gaps, and a clear recommendation for your decision.
Quality framework
Fieldwork is documented against four points. If something cannot be verified on site, the report says so — with what is missing, not a guess.
Declared material, GSM where properly measured, colour and visible consistency.
Seams, reinforcement, workmanship, measurements and defect classification.
Labels, barcodes, folding, assortment, cartons and shipping marks.
Certificates supplied, issuer and status checks, test reports present or missing, and items requiring laboratory or legal review. Aura records evidence and gaps — it does not certify compliance.
Service area
Aura works in person across the Quanzhou manufacturing cluster — Quanzhou, Jinjiang and Shishi. Being local means short travel times and rapid scheduling with factories.
