ALGI

What ALGI does

ALGI is a private professional-services firm specializing in supply-chain social compliance, environmental, quality, and security audits for global brands, retailers, importers, and manufacturing facilities. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Aventura, Florida (legal entity: ALGI Holding Company LLC), the firm operates through 12 regional offices across the United States, Central America, South America, Southeast Asia, South Asia, East Asia, and Europe, delivering services in over 90 countries. Its audit portfolio covers the dominant international standards — amfori BSCI, SMETA (Sedex), WRAP, RBA VAP/CMA, SLCP, amfori BEPI, Higg FEM, ZDHC, and amfori QMI — supplemented by C-TPAT-based supply-chain security assessments, product quality inspections (IPC, DUPRO, FRI, PSI, LS), strategic solutions (risk mapping, investigations, off-site system reviews, code-of-conduct audits), and ALGI Academy training programs.

The firm's underlying technology is an ISO 9001:2015- and ISO 17021:2011-aligned Global Management System that provides real-time audit-status visibility to clients and integrates directly with the authorized platform portals operated by Sedex, amfori BSCI, RBA-Online, the Higg Index, WRAP, and SLCP. APSCA registration and active memberships in AAFA and Textile Exchange underpin its professional credibility, while an IMC-Egypt service-provider designation supports certification work for over 13,000 manufacturers in North Africa.

ALGI monetizes through quote-based professional service fees priced by audit type, facility size, audit modality (initial/follow-up, announced/unannounced), and geography, with multi-year enterprise contracts. Distribution is entirely direct enterprise field sales — clients submit audit requests through algi.net or regional offices, and proposals are returned within 24–48 hours. There is no software-as-a-service component; revenue is generated per audit engagement plus training and advisory work. The firm has executed four geographic expansions (Vietnam, India, Cambodia in 2023; Guatemala in 2026) alongside one regional exit (North Africa, February 2023), and operates with 101–250 employees under founder/management ownership with no disclosed institutional investors.
