Retail

Retail is all about offering and selling good quality products and services through a chain of suppliers, finally reaching your customer. Efficient and effective (global) cooperation is necessary to ensure quality, safety and healthiness of whatever you sell. Your customer requires quality, safety and traceability of products back to source. They expect you as a retailer to prove your trustworthiness through independent verification and certification. The latter can indeed preclude recalls, fraud and customer dissatisfaction. Furthermore, your locations and the installations in it, from cold-storage rooms to escalators, all need to be safe and in optimal condition. Kiwa helps you focus on your main business: selling your products. We certify and verify throughout the supply chain in a wide variety of markets, ensuring the safety of all types of equipment. In short: We make sure your store is a pleasure to visit and to work in.
