Module 4 · Digital samples and quality risk
Sample review in hours, not weeks
The supplier attaches photos and media to a set standard, and the buyer and quality controller review the sample remotely. A model predicts the risk of rejection, so a physical sample is ordered only where it makes sense.
Traditional sampling is slow and costly
Every prototype means a shipment, often by air from the Far East, customs, handling and the cost of the sample itself, which often becomes waste after a short review. For a large retailer that is thousands of shipments a year and weeks of waiting for decisions.
- Digital sampleThe supplier creates and describes the sample, attaching photos and content to the standard
- Remote reviewBuyer and quality controller review the sample in evorio, comment and mark corrections
- RiskThe model rates the risk of failing quality control: low, medium or high
- DecisionApprove, request changes with full history, or a physical sample when the risk is high
Quality risk
Attention where the risk is really high
A machine learning model sorts products into three groups by risk of failing the quality test. The rating is shown on the product card, in product lists and on samples, so the quality team focuses on the products that need it.
- Trained on the history of more than 20,000 SKUs in 90 product groups
- Uses product attributes, supplier, order and previous inspection results
- Continuously retrained on the actual quality results in your chain
- Scores 1,000 new products in about 15 seconds
- Sample types: sales, pre-production, post-production and marketing
F1 for the risk rating, target at least 70%. 79.8% in the prototype.
Mobile app
Inspections in the warehouse and at the supplier on a tablet, with results and photos recorded.
Three kinds of savings
Estimated effects for a retailer that replaces most physical samples with digital ones.
From weeks to hours
Reviewing a sample without waiting for shipment shortens time-to-market and lets you react to trends faster.
Over 90% lower cost
No shipping, customs, handling or production cost for samples you do not need.
Fewer air shipments
A lower carbon footprint and the maximum score in the Samples pillar of the Sustainability Index.
