Account Designations

Account designations are custom classifications that indicate the status of a factory regarding the brand/purchaser compliance process.

• Classifications and terminology typically exist in a brand’s quality system and can be incorporated into the platform.
• If need be, the brand can customize the classification and terminology to suit their needs.
