Workwear & Functional

Elevate your quality & Compliance with Qarma

Ensuring consistent product quality in workwear and functional is critical not just for brand reputation, but for consumer trust, durability, cost efficiency, and compliance with regulations and industry standards.

Many quality control (QC) operations are still held back by inconsistent inspection methods, manual workflows, limited traceability of defects, disconnected reporting tools and inconsistent documentation.

How Sika Footwear takes a data-driven approach to quality

When Sika Footwear set out to strengthen quality across their production, fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected tools stood in the way. By adopting Qarma to unify inline, final, container, and warehouse inspections, Sika now has one streamlined system for tracking defects, collaborating with suppliers, and catching issues early. The result? Fewer customer claims, better insights - and a truly data-driven approach to quality. Read the full story right here.

“After we started using Qarma, we definitely saw a drop in customer claims. The ability to monitor production from an early stage has helped us catch defects before they reach the warehouse in Europe," says Morten Berthelsen, Sourcing Manager at Sika Footwear.

One platform - Three tools for quality and compliance

At Qarma, we provide three connected tools to help brands simplify and strengthen their operations: Quality for inspections and defect tracking, Audits & Supplier Compliance to assess and monitor supplier performance, and Product Compliance to ensure products meet regulations and industry standards. Together, they give you one platform to manage quality and compliance with confidence.

Quality

Consistent product quality

In the functional and workwear industry, ensuring consistent product quality across multiple suppliers and factories is a constant challenge. Without standardized processes and clear visibility, brands risk delays, rework, and dissatisfied customers. The most common obstacles include:

  • Inconsistent inspection methods across suppliers and factories
  • Manual workflows for planning, assigning, and tracking inspections
  • Limited traceability of defects, rework, and corrective actions
  • Disconnected reporting tools and inconsistent documentation
  • Difficulty turning QC data into actionable supplier or production insights
