The takeaways from recent supply chain disruptions are clear: businesses must spread their risks across multiple suppliers to safeguard against geopolitical, economic, and operational shocks.
But supplier diversification alone isn’t enough — and at the end of the day, a supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Between new tariffs poised to shake up the global trade landscape, and cost and margin pressures making supply chain efficiency a top priority, it’s never been so important for brands to ensure they’re enlisting the right suppliers to expand their sourcing network.
So, how can brands be 100% confident they’re partnering with suppliers who will actually deliver on their promises — and steer clear of ones who could wreak havoc on their bottom line and overall reputation?
The answer is by thoroughly auditing potential suppliers. That’s why we developed a complete, hands-on checklist to guide brands through the audit process, and equip them with all the questions they should be asking to identify the highest-quality suppliers for their needs.

When in doubt, let Anvyl’s experts introduce you to the best pre-vetted suppliers in the market
Done right, the supplier audit process can be straightforward enough for brands to handle it themselves — but it comes at the cost of resources and time. Cutting corners in the process, or even resorting to popular platforms like Alibaba that offer an endless array of unvetted suppliers, only increase the risk.
Finding pre-vetted suppliers is easy with Anvyl’s Marketplace, which offers a curated sourcing service that introduces brands to suppliers who have been personally audited by Anvyl’s global team of experts on the ground, and passed verification for quality, customer service, and competitive costs.
In other words, Anvyl is here to play matchmaker for brands looking to strengthen their supply chain with reputable vendors, and take the hard work of supplier audits off their plate.
