The budget is required to be between 10 to 17 dollars. As there are many after-sales problems caused by the potential quality problems of the specific watches and bracelets provided by other suppliers before, mainly due to the negative impact of non-waterproof and fast power loss, the customer chooses the scheme very carefully and requires a number of quality tests this time. Hallosourcing provides the factory’s test flow, sample test report, production process QC test report, and shipment sampling report before confirming the samples. And customers also do basic testing experiments on the samples locally.

After communicating with the factory and customer about the details, our team holds an internal meeting to discuss furthermore. For the problems of the customer’s previous order and pre-production evaluation, we have some difficulties to be solved as follows:
First, The difficulties of Q11 production:
A.Focus on the frequent after-sale problem of waterproof
Solution: Added total inspection process of waterproofing. After the sport band was assembled, using a vacuum waterproof tester to pump the air into vacuum mode, and then simulating the underwater environment of 6-7 meters for full inspection and testing. Every machine test 5 sport bands at one time.
B. Focus on the frequent after-sale problem of quick power losing
Solution: Charging the battery once and discharge it once before leaving the battery factory. Charge the battery to 80% and then send it to the factory. After the factory assembles the whole machine, charge the battery to 100% and place the machine statically for three days. After this process, giving a full inspection of the machine again, if the machine has lost power over 25% within three days then determines NG. This process is also a full inspection.
C. Customer chose the black undertone and gold stamping logo technology for the packing box, but the black packing box is easy to scratch and get dirty.
Solution: The technology of envelope production changed from matt laminated to anti-scratch film to ensure the surface of the envelope is scratch-proof.
D. The envelope’s black matt laminated is easy to scratch, and the defect is more obvious than in other colors which will affect the visual effect.
Solution: The technology of envelope production changed from matt laminated to anti-scratch film to ensure the surface of the envelope is scratch-proof.
E. The black undertone envelope will appear fingerprint if touched by hand, and it’s easy to stain with dust when placed statically. The defect is more obvious than other colors which will affect the visual effect.
Solution: Focus on the problem of the envelope surface’s bad appearance after packing, we added plastic-coating technology after the product packaging, and changed the thickness of the plastic-coating from the usual 0.15MM to 0.30 MM which will not only increase the beauty and high-grade degree of the product but also play a protective role.

Second, Difficulties in the shipment of Q11 sports bracelets:
A. Philippine local policy stipulates that Bluetooth electronic products need to do local COT certification before customs clearance, COT certification needs to take one month to complete, which affects our customers to receive and launch.
Solution: COT certification requires the CE certification of the corresponding brand of the product from the country of origin. At present, the conventional CE certification in China is neutral certification, and re-certification takes 15 days to complete. For this actual situation, Hallosourcing communicate and negotiate with the certification company to upgrade and do CE with the brand on the basis of the existing neutral CE certification, which can be done within 7 days.
B. Customers asked for the goods to arrive before the press conference of the RENO6, so we decided to ship the goods by air, flying from Hong Kong to Manila and picking up the goods from Hong Kong containers. According to the Chinese government’s epidemic prevention policy, there must be a place epidemic prevention code when vehicles from Hong Kong pass through Shenzhen, but the factory does not have the code.
Solution: Hallosourcing contacted Hong Kong forwarders directly and urgently, after communication, Hong Kong forwarders borrowed a warehouse near Hua Nan according to the location of the factory for turnover and loading. Ruizhi assisted in entering the warehouse in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Hua Nan warehouse.
As confirmed by video communication with the customer over and over again, the second edition of the package design drawing and the interior design are OK.
