Transcript of an interview with Morris Weinberger:

We work closely, partnering up with OEM manufacturers, taking care of their reverse logistics needs, including taking care of their returns, their overstock and end-of-life products.

At one point we realized that to be able to work closely with a lot of these very large Fortune 500 companies we would need to have international standards certifications.

Setting up this whole process and systems was taking us way too long and disturbing our daily functions to be able to grow on a regular basis. Giving it over to a consulting company, Compliancehelp, made it into a breeze and we were able to keep on doing what we do best.

From what, we understood, and also from our experience, setting up all the certifications and all the work behind it would take months, even for a consulting company. But at this point when we contacted compliance help, it was about 9 days from when we did our initial call to the first stage 1 audit, and our stage 1 audit went by really really well. There were some struggles, but we passed it and 9 days was unheard of. It was crazy, but we did it.

So, since getting these certifications, we grew tremendously, opening a lot of doors with a lot of major companies that we work with right now. Our analysis shows the numbers of the growth and the success we’ve had since getting these international certified certifications.
