Product inspection
What is a product inspection?
Product inspection is the process of checking goods for quality, accuracy, and condition before they are stored, shipped, or returned. This includes verifying quantities, identifying defects, and ensuring compliance with product specifications.
Product inspections in eCommerce
In eCommerce logistics, product inspections are essential to avoid defective shipments, manage returns efficiently, and maintain customer satisfaction. Inspections may occur upon inbound delivery to a fulfillment center, during pick & pack, or when returned items are received. With everstox, fulfillment partners perform product inspections based on your requirements – supported by real-time documentation and automated inventory adjustments.
Example of a product inspection
A fashion brand partners with everstox. When new inventory arrives at the warehouse, fulfillment staff inspect each item for damages and labelling errors before shelving. The inspection status are visible on the everstox platform.
