Case Study: Newtimes Group Improves Global Quality Control with Pivot88 by TradeBeyond

How a Global Apparel Sourcing Leader for Nordstrom, ALO Yoga, and Other Top Brands Transformed Quality Assurance

Newtimes Group, a Hong Kong–based global apparel sourcing and supply-chain partner, needed a better way to manage quality control as it expanded across 30+ countries. Its teams were still using manual, pen-and-paper QC reporting, which made it hard to maintain consistency, visibility, and timely oversight across a dispersed factory network. To modernize inspections, Newtimes evaluated several platforms and selected TradeBeyond’s Pivot88 inspection solution.

With TradeBeyond’s Pivot88, Newtimes centralized and standardized inspection and CSR data in one platform, giving teams real-time visibility, automated alerts, and deeper insight into inspection and compliance issues. The result was a 60% reduction in human error, 30%+ higher inspection efficiency, more than 15% improvement in first-time pass rates, and AQL defect rates reduced to under 3%, helping Newtimes improve quality performance and respond faster to root-cause issues.
