From order to shipment
From order to shipment. See where the account is at risk.
An export order passes through five points where one finding can put the account at risk.

Chemicals and wastewater
Recipes change to hit shade and cost; effluent limits are tested.
Illustrative, drawn from the kinds of events we investigate.
In Pakistan
Textiles are Pakistan's largest export sector, and international brands audit their suppliers closely on fire safety, labour conditions, chemicals and wastewater.
Globally
After major garment-factory disasters in South Asia, international buyers introduced far stricter building, fire and worker-safety requirements across their supply chains.

How we help
Four ways we protect the account. Before the buyer asks.
Something happened on your site this week? A first call costs nothing, and we will tell you what to preserve today.
The P3i approach
How we investigate textile & apparel incidents. Fact-finding, not fault-finding.
Every P3i investigation is led by a senior investigator and supported by internationally qualified process specialists. You will not receive a list of people to blame, or a long list of generic actions. You will receive the facts, the proven causes, and a short plan that closes the gaps, in this case and across your system.
Independent
No products, repairs or contracts to sell you afterwards.
Senior-led
Thirty years of investigation, from the first call to the final briefing.
Beyond the event
Process specialists find the other cracks before they fail.
Ready to present
Written for boards, buyers, insurers and regulators.
How P3i does it for you
- 01
One confidential call
We protect your buyer relationship first: facts quickly, corrective plan soon after.
- 02
Secure before it is cleaned up
Fire scene, wiring, storage records and audit files protected.
- 03
Facts, not versions
Private interviews where nobody is pushed to name a culprit. The evidence decides.
- 04
Find what the system allowed
Fire load, wiring, exits, wastewater and labour controls the buyer will check.
- 05
A plan leadership can approve
Short, costed, owned actions, and a check that they worked.
What you receive
Call us when
Free 30-minute case assessment.
Tell us what happened. In confidence, we will tell you what the investigation should cover, how long it will take and what to preserve today.
How we work with you
What happens after you call.
For textiles & apparel, the first call covers what happened, what must be preserved, and who needs to be involved. From there, this is the usual pattern.
First hour
A call with a lead investigator. You leave it knowing what to preserve today and who to call next.
Day one
An investigator on site, anywhere in Pakistan. Scope and fixed fee agreed in writing.
Week one
A private briefing on early findings, so urgent risks are dealt with before the report is finished.
Weeks three to four
The final report, the wider system review and a remedial work plan, presented to your team.
After
We come back to check the actions were completed and actually worked.
Typical timings for a single-site event. Complex, multi-party matters take longer, and we tell you so on the first call.
What you receive
A full investigation report. This is only its first page.
The summary is what leadership reads first. Behind it sits the complete file: every witness heard, every document and record examined, and every finding tied to numbered evidence, so a board, an insurer, a buyer or a regulator can test it.
