Once a purchase order is placed, critical decisions continue: shop drawings await sign-off, raw coil or board batches arrive, and promised ex-works dates depend on packaging and document readiness. Replace vague “in production” messages with a structured 30-day milestone register.

Evidence standard: Every report distinguishes Observed on Site, Document-Supported and Supplier-Stated items. Field checks are visual/dimensional observations—not accredited ISO/IEC 17025 lab testing or statutory CE certification.

Starting from your proforma/PO, approved drawings and target ex-works date, Order Follow-up (SS-ORDER, €590) tracks material intake, shop-drawing sign-off, stated production start, completion percentages, draft packing lists and inspection readiness across 30 calendar days.
Every weekly written update clearly distinguishes supplier-stated progress from reviewed documents (such as signed drawing acknowledgements or draft packing lists), as illustrated in Example 3 on our Sample Report page.
Remote follow-up organises schedules and flags missing dimensions early, while physical verification requires attending the plant. Our Order to Shipment bundle (PK-SHIP, €1,290 vs €1,470 standalone) combines 30-day Order Follow-up, one core-area Pre-shipment Check and one core-area Loading Observation.
On-site pre-dispatch review of accessible quantities, dimensions, labels, visible condition and export packing for up to 5 SKUs before balance release.
On-site loading observation for 1 truck or container (up to 4 hours)—recording package counts, visible packing, vehicle/container IDs, sequence and seal.
Align up to 3 Turkish suppliers and 3 purchase orders around one combined dispatch plan over 30 days—preventing trailer mismatches and missing packing data.
Dedicated 30-calendar-day remote buying-office capacity (15, 30 or 55 hours) with transparent 15-minute time logging, weekly summaries and zero auto-renewal.
Yes. Share the PO, correspondence and supplier contact. We establish what has actually been documented versus stated, build an open-items recovery tracker and identify whether an on-site visit is warranted.
No. SS-ORDER covers 30 calendar days of remote tracking (4 written updates + 1 review call) for 1 supplier and 1 PO. Add a €490 Pre-shipment Check or choose the €1,290 Order to Shipment bundle (PK-SHIP) for physical attendance.
A delayed loading date does not automatically trigger a second full €1,290 bundle charge; we review any extended remote tracking need with you in writing before charging additional follow-up time.
No. We report the milestone evidence and remaining open items; payment release authority and direct supplier transfers remain strictly with you.
If you are tracking 2 to 8 active purchase orders across multiple suppliers simultaneously, Remote Buying Desk (BO-15, €1,250) or Buying Office (BO-30, €2,250) is typically more economical than separate per-order fees.
Never. Every update labels unverified factory emails or photos as “Supplier-stated” until corroborated by an agreed on-site check.
