Sourcing Route · Stage 3 of 5

Escort: from purchase order to delivery, with eyes in Italy

Supplier due diligence, order follow-up, inspection of the goods before they leave Italy and document checks before loading.

Every order, safe to destinationStage 3 of 5

When you buy from a distance, every problem shows up late: a delayed production, goods that do not match the order, a certificate with a wrong figure that blocks customs at home. Escort is your contact in Italy for the whole order. We check the supplier, follow every step in our order portal with deadlines and alerts, inspect the goods before they leave and check the documents before loading. It also works with a supplier you found yourself.

Escort

Who it is for

  1. 01

    You have placed an order in Italy

    Even the first one, even with a supplier you found on your own.

  2. 02

    The order value is high

    A mistake on quality, documents or payment would cost more than the service.

  3. 03

    Your customs are strict

    Gulf, North Africa, Levant, Central Asia: documents must be right the first time.

Every order, safe to destination

What is included

  1. 1

    Supplier due diligence

    Company data, beneficial owners, sanctions, litigation, capacity, and consistency between who signs, who invoices and who ships.

  2. 2

    Order follow-up in the portal

    Purchase order, production milestones, packing list, deadlines and alerts in one file you can see at any time.

  3. 3

    Pre-shipment inspection

    An inspector checks quantity, quality, packing and marking, with photos and a report, before the goods leave.

  4. 4

    Document check

    Invoice, packing list, certificates of origin and conformity, transport documents: checked against your import rules before loading.

What you receive
  • The supplier check report
  • Access to the order file with alerts
  • The inspection report with photos
  • A document checklist completed before loading
How it is charged

Per order, as a percentage of its value

With a minimum per order. Inspections are charged separately per day, because they depend on where the goods are.
