Inspectors who know the material
Textile engineers and garment merchandisers who can read a fabric hand, spot a shade band and judge a seam without a magnifier.
Why DRIM
You are hiring a decision, not a report
An inspection is only worth the decision it enables. That is why our reports end with a clear accept or reject call, a repairable-versus-unrepairable split and a corrective action that gets verified.
- No factory commissions
- 24-hour reports
- Re-inspection included
Our Advantage
Six reasons buyers keep the same inspector
Report within 24 hours
The same day your inspector leaves the factory, the report reaches your inbox with photographs and defect statistics.
Independent by design
No factory commissions, no supplier rebates, no incentive to pass. The buyer pays; we report.
Corrective action that closes
We re-inspect after the fix at no extra visit charge, and we keep a score history per factory.
Multi-factory coordination
One booking, ten factories, one consolidated report format. Ideal for buying houses and brand sourcing teams.
One point of contact
A named coordinator who knows your programme, your factories and your reporting format.
Honest Comparison
DRIM versus a typical inspection agency
Not all agencies are the same. This is the checklist we would use if we were choosing an inspector for our own brand.
| What matters to a buyer | DRIM Buying Agency | Typical agency |
|---|---|---|
| Report turnaround | Same day to 24 hours, in writing | Often 48–72 hours, verbal first |
| Inspector background | Textile graduates, category trained | Mixed, often general helpers |
| Photo evidence | Every critical finding photographed | Occasional, low resolution |
| Sampling basis | ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 with stated sample size | Often unspecified |
| Independence | Buyer-paid, factory-blind | May work for two sides |
| Factory incentives | None — zero commissions | Possible volume discounts |
| Corrective action | Re-inspection visit included | Charged again per visit |
| Lab testing | Accredited labs, coordinated end to end | Buyer arranges tests directly |
| Buying agency support | Sourcing, negotiation, documentation | Inspection only |
| Confidentiality | NDA-bound, single point of contact | Unclear |
