Inspection and Audit

What Inspection and Audit does

Inspection and Audit is a Saint Petersburg-based supply chain risk management firm founded in 2018 that provides supplier evaluation, technical audit, and production verification services to industrial enterprise clients across Russia, CIS countries, and Europe. The company organizes its offering into three core service lines: Supplier Evaluation and Qualification (covering desk assessments, on-site technical audits, and first piece qualification); Inspection and Expediting (including during-production inspections, factory acceptance tests, packaging inspection, and delivery expediting); and Procurement Process Audit, structured around ISO standards and industry best practices. The firm positions itself on the qualifications of its inspectors, auditors, and expediters rather than on proprietary technology, with no disclosed software platform, API, SDK, or AI/ML capabilities.

All engagements are delivered by qualified experts deployed on-site at supplier facilities, generating revenue through project-based professional services contracts priced on a quote basis. The firm maintains a digital presence via its website (inspectaudit.com), LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram, supplemented by case-study blog posts documenting completed projects; the go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales rather than self-serve or channel-led distribution. No pricing, ARR, or revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and there is no record of institutional funding.

The customer base is concentrated in four industrial verticals — Oil & Gas, Energy, Transportation, and Manufacturing — with named engagements including GazpromNeft's Omsk Oil Refinery (FAT and packaging inspection of Power Supply control panels via Electronmash), Reliance-Sibur's India plant (inspection of shredder units via AVA Hydrosystems), and other manufacturing-sector supplier inspection work. The company is privately held as an OOO (Russian limited liability company), headquartered at Kapitanskaya st. 4, Saint Petersburg, and reports a headcount of 1-10 employees with active hiring of qualified inspectors, auditors, and expediters.
