Client Challenge
The online retail platform in Birmingham was looking to expand its home fire safety product range to meet growing residential market demand in UK. Previous suppliers had issues with:
- Inconsistent product quality between batches
- Missing LPCB / ISO 9001 certification documentation
- Long lead times (60+ days) causing stock-outs
- Limited APP localization — English-only interface unsuitable for UK consumers
Wanlin's Solution
Wanlin assigned a dedicated export account manager to the Birmingham client and provided:
1. Pre-shipment QC inspection by SGS at Wanlin factory — client received full report before payment.
2. Complete LPCB / ISO 9001 documentation package — accepted by UK customs on first submission.
3. Customized packaging with UK language instructions and local compliance marks.
4. 5-week delivery via sea freight (FCL) + DHL air for urgent replenishment orders.
5. English + local-language APP — reducing customer support burden for the Birmingham client.
Results After 6 Months
- Zero quality-related returns from end consumers in UK
- 90% repeat purchase rate among end users who registered the APP
- Client expanded from 1 SKU to 6 Wanlin product lines
- Second order placed within 5 months — quantity increased by 54%
- Achieved ISO 9001 factory audit acceptance by UK insurance partner
