Ultra picky, by method

The specification, down to the last detail.

It is the project's rulebook. We draft it with you, then turn it into numbered checkpoints that the factory signs and our inspectors verify one by one.

  • Materials, dimensions, tolerances, Pantone colors
  • Markings, instructions, packaging, pallet, labeling
  • A point missing? We ask you the question before production
  • A point present? It is met, or the batch does not ship
Our principles

What makes the method reliable.

Physical presence

Every factory is visited by a NOVASEA employee before commitment and during production.

Dual sign-off

Supplier, contract, shipment: approved by the project manager and the division manager.

Everything is documented

Audits, quotes, contracts, reports, documents: in NOVASEA Bridge.

Independence

No commissions from factories: our fees come from you, and you alone.

ISO 9001

Certified procedures, audited inspectors, annual review of every active supplier.

Continuous improvement

Every project ends with a debrief for the next order.

Commitments

Our contractual guarantees.

  • Transparency: access to factory invoices and real prices
  • Ownership: molds, tooling, designs and trademarks belong to you
  • Quality: re-inspection at the supplier's expense if rejected
  • Supplier fails in the first year: replaced at our expense
  • Lead times: contractual late penalties, passed on to you in full
  • Governing law: NOVASEA contract in your jurisdiction (France, England, New York or Hong Kong)
