Questions buyers ask
What is the difference between field and desk expediting?
Desk expediting follows the order by email and phone with the vendor. Field expediting adds visits to the workshop to see what has actually been produced, which is more reliable when the vendor's reports are optimistic.
Can inspection and expediting be done on the same visit?
Yes. Combining them saves travel cost, and the inspector already knows the order. We report progress and quality separately so each goes to the right person.
