"GPS location is recorded as part of our auditing processes and used to match with the pre-shipment inspection documentation. If these don’t match, there may be an incident of unauthorised subcontracting. This specific problem occurred with one of our merchandise suppliers in China. Once identified, the subcontractor was audited by QIMA to ensure compliance to Best & Less Group standards" p. 13 labelled pdf.
