Business
Product Sourcing/Product Development
Product Sourcing is the basis of each and every order and proceedings. If our sourcing is from an appropriate source, the end product would also be as per our aspirations. We have strong roots penetrated all over for effective sourcing, covering all the product categories for all segments of international market. The product development becomes active once the buyer has approved on our sourced products which are sent trough photo presentations. Products is developed according to buyer's requirements and dispatched within the date stipulated by the buyer.
All the samples are checked before sending so that the modifications, if any, are taken care of. We put tag with feeding all important data required by the buyer and keeps a counter sample in their record for all follow-up. The dispatch details are advised thereafter.
Merchandising
This involves entire execution of order from the initial to final stage, till the shipment is on board with massive and close follow up at various stages of production and updating buyer accordingly. Apart from this we take care of the entire packaging to be followed for a particular order. Normally we prefer to make it uniform for all the orders and standardize same so that it is approved once and for all and becomes easier for buyer too.
Factory Evaluation
Factory Audits/Evaluations are conducted to check the production capacity and the infrastructure of the chosen vendors. This audit is increasingly becoming important in the Indian context due to the linked problem of child labour, social welfare norms, pollution problems etc. The evaluation of the supplier's factory plays a vital role in contributing to the end product. We make sure that the factory has adequate resources and man power to complete the production and meet with buyer's quality standards. Thorough Audits are conducted by Prestige professionals to foresee the supplier's strength, the facilities being provided to their employees so that they wok in full swing and in turn the merchandise meet the etd date etc.
Quality Control
To be able to quality control the merchandise produced by its vendors, Prestige has adopted the universally acclaimed system of quality evaluation known as the AQL (Accepted Quality Level). This system helps judge the quality level of the produced goods by identifying and categorizing the defects. It enables the QC to decide if the merchandise passes the acceptability norms of the client. We believe that quality control exercise must be simultaneous to production and is not a terminal exercise for this reason we monitor the quality at each stage of production in all respects. Above all we cannot control quality but can render our services to assure best quality.
A quality inspection of products is much more effective if the buyer takes the time to define a checklist. Here are guidelines to do this. It is appropriate for importers of consumer goods from China, India, Vietnam, and other Asian countries.
Logistics
Only after receipt the "OK for shipment" from Prestige, the supplier is permitted to dispatch the goods. The Logistic Department follows up the shipment once he gets the "OK for shipment" from the QC Department. He is in regular touch (several times a day) with the clearing and forwarding agent and gets a daily report by fax in order to follow-up the documents required for shipping and to monitor closely the movement of cargo. This ensures that it is put aboard the targeted vessel and meets the deadline of the buyer. A special software has been designed to enable a proper follow-up. We also take proper care of the consolidation of merchandise, as buyer normally prefer to have the merchandise consolidated from various suppliers. The Logistic Department makes sure that all the documents required for import are sent to the buyer in order to avoid delay in clearance of goods at destination. Prestige finally sends a shipping advice with all relevant details of shipment. Prestige is actually an "extension" of his client and assists him from the very initial stages to the final shipment. It takes the burden of all the follow-up action on behalf of his client and ensures a smooth "sailing".
Code of Conduct
Prestige is committed to the highest standards of ethical business conduct and to the practice of business in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.We require that all our suppliers commit to achieving the standards outlined in this code of conduct as a part of doing business with Poundland. These standards are based on ILO Core Conventions.Where the provisions of national or other applicable law and this Base Code address the same subject, the provision which affords the greater protection applies.
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS.
As a general rule all vendors and manufacturers must follow their national laws. However, if any contradiction is found between the supplier’s national laws and this Code of Conduct the supplier must inform the respective Regional Office immediately after receiving this document. As a general rule, when national regulation or other applicable laws addresses the same issue as this Code, the most stringent should be applied.
SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS.

The vendor must implement: • Controls to prevent the use of child labour and keep records for all workers working on their site. • Policies and programmes which provide for the transition of any child found to be performing child labour to enable her or him to attend and remain in quality education until no longer a child. A child is defined as a person less than 15 years of age unless local minimum age law stipulates a higher age for work or mandatory schooling, in which case the higher age shall apply. Children and young workers under 18 shall not be employed at night or in hazardous conditions. These policies and procedures shall conform to the provisions of the relevant ILO standards1

What format for an product inspection checklist?
Checklists are usually prepared in an Excel or Word document. Here is an example of checklist organization, for consumer goods inspections:
1. MATERIALS & COMPONENTS What is the product made of? This is exceedingly important, and you might want to control the components before they are embedded in the final product.
2. ASSEMBLY / WORKMANSHIP How is the product supposed to be made? Example: the type of stitching on a garment.
3. COLORS, FINISHING, ASPECT If possible, give Pantone codes and include photos.
4. SIZE WEIGHT, AND OTHER MEASUREMENTS If possible, show/specify the way to take the measurements.
5. LABELING, MARKINGS, LOGO, TAGS, STICKERS... Should the markings resist when they are rubbed? If there is a barcode, should the inspector do a reading test? Where are the labeling elements?
6. PACKACING Content and type of retail packaging, breakdown per master carton, quality of carton, shipping marks.
7. TESTS TO BE DONE BY THE INSPECTOR Some tests can be done with the factory equipment, or have to be done in a lab. Make sure the inspector does all he can within his workday, since labtests are usually expensive.
8. VISUAL DEFECTS TO LOOK OUT FOR For example, if you noticed defects on a previous shipment, you can call the inspector's attention on them.

Four reasons why defining a checklist is necessary Basically, an inspector who checks a batch of products needs a list of checkpoints. Otherwise he only takes photos and measurements, and he cannot estimate whether production is conform to the buyer's expectations. There are four reasons why this is not a good idea:
1. Timing The inspection company reports the findings to the buyer, who needs to analyze this information and take a decision. if the shipment is urgent and a decision needs to be done quickly, this analysis can waste precious hours or even days.
2. Reporting The inspector might forget to check some aspects of the product that are actually of prime importance for the buyer.
3. Avoiding bribery In the absence of predefined checkpoints, it is easy for a rogue inspector to avoid reporting certain quality issues and get a bribery fromthe supplier. He can simply say "oh sorry, I didn't know I should check this aspect".
4. Ambiguity In Asia, it is in the buyer's interest to define his requirements in the most intimate details. (And these requirements naturally become the quality control (QC) checklist once inspection time comes.) When the buyer does not do this job, he basically trusts the factory (whose interest is to save on all materials and accessories) to guess right. This is not a good formula!
