Your goal
Samples lose value when their revision, material, process, deviations, supplier, date, or evaluation outcome cannot be traced.
PROCUREMENT SOLUTION
Sample Development
Coordinate supplier samples through controlled specifications, revisions, evaluation criteria, feedback, approvals, and production-reference retention.
YOUR PROJECT
A sample is a controlled decision record, not just an object.
Samples lose value when their revision, material, process, deviations, supplier, date, or evaluation outcome cannot be traced.
How we help
White Lion issues a sample request against one revision, logs supplier questions, records receipt and condition, coordinates evaluation, captures feedback, and controls approval status and retained references.
What you receive
The sample file can include request, revision, photographs, measurements, test results, deviations, comments, rework actions, approval status, and the production-reference sample record.
You stay in control
Aesthetic, engineering, safety, compliance, and production approvals remain with the designated owner or qualified reviewer for each criterion.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Useful work your team can act on.
Your exact deliverables are confirmed before the engagement begins and tailored to the product, market, timing, and business goal.
