What an online audit looks like
You ask, we show you – live, unedited, on the factory floor
A brochure video shows what a supplier wants you to see. A live audit shows what you ask to see. Our inspector carries a stabilised camera and wireless microphone, a second camera reads instruments and documents up close, and you direct every step from your meeting room.
- Pick any member on the floor and we measure it on camera
- Instrument readings shown live: DFT, UT thickness, weld size, dimensions
- Original certificates held up to the document camera
- Ask the welder, the painter or the QC inspector directly

Why audit online
Supplier due diligence without the travel
Bring your whole team
Owner, project manager, consultant, insurer or bank – everyone who must approve the supplier joins the same call from wherever they are.
See the real factory, not a showreel
Live and unedited. You decide where the camera goes and which member, weld or document we check.
Repeat it at every witness point
Audit us before you sign, then witness the hold points in your ITP and the container loading of your own steel.
Keep the evidence
With your permission we record the session and send the recording, photos, documents and an action list afterwards.
Same time zone as Bangkok
Vietnam and Thailand are both GMT+7, so a 9:00 audit is 9:00 for everyone – no early mornings or late nights.

FAQ
Online audit FAQ
Is the online audit really free?
Yes. There is no charge for Thai clients, consultants and inspectors who are evaluating World Steel or following their own project, and no obligation to place an order.
How long does an audit take?
A supplier qualification audit usually takes 60–90 minutes. A witness inspection takes 30–60 minutes per point and a loading inspection 30–45 minutes. You can split a long agenda over two sessions.
Which video platform do you use?
Whichever your company allows: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or LINE video call. We send the link with the confirmed agenda.
Can our third-party inspector or consultant join?
Yes. Invite anyone you like – your engineer, consultant, insurer, bank or an independent inspection company. Send us their names and we add them to the meeting.
Can we record the session?
Yes, with the agreement of both sides. We can also record it for you and send the file with the photos and documents after the audit.
Is our project information kept confidential?
Yes. We sign your NDA on request, and during a witness inspection we only show your own project's members and records.
What if the connection drops on the factory floor?
The factory has Wi-Fi with 4G/5G backup and a host stays in the meeting room. If the picture is lost we reconnect immediately, and anything you missed is re-shown or sent as photos and video.
Can we audit the steel of our own project during fabrication?
Yes – that is the fabrication witness inspection. The hold and witness points in your Inspection and Test Plan can all be attended online.
Can we still visit the factory in person?
Of course. Many clients start online and visit before signing or at the first delivery. The factory is 80 minutes from Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat airport, a 1h30 flight from Bangkok.
