Our Process

Navigating global channels to deliver results.

Vessel uses its unrestricted global channels to source devices from industry-leading manufacturers that meet specific clients’ needs and varying countries’ safety certifications. We offer secure storage in our state-of-the-art warehouse to meet fluctuating customer lead times. We install and configure software and provide pack-out services with our superior provisioning capabilities. We then manage the full scope of logistics to ensure successful and timely delivery, and complete post-trial handling to improve ROI whenever possible.

Quality Assurance

Vessel Receives Shipment
After Vessel guides a customer in selecting a device that meets specific needs, we source the appropriate device and facilitate the customer’s purchase. We then receive the customer’s devices at Vessel’s state-of-the-art warehouse.

Inspect Packaging
Our Quality Assurance team inspects packaging for any signs of damage during shipping, notifying the Quality Team immediately of any discrepancies. The QA team photographs and unpacks all incoming shipments and records IMEI numbers. After separating accessories, the devices are moved to the production floor for configuration.

Verify Package Labels
We inspect all package labels for accuracy of order, part numbers, model numbers, SKU numbers, software version, and quantities. Additionally, we inspect them for authenticity to the particular manufacturer, and report any discrepancies immediately.

Install Application Software
Once the devices pass inspection and reach the production floor, we configure the device’s application software to meet customer specifications.

QC Inspection
Once configuration is complete, our QA team inspects all devices to ensure that they meet customers’ expectations by powering devices on, verifying application software versions, and confirming proper configuration changes.

Shipment & Asset Tagging
Upon completion, we pack all devices according to packing instructions set forth by the transportation agency involved and shipment destination. We package all devices to withstand transit by air, sea, rail, or domestic cargo van. We label or re-label to meet customer specifications. Vessel can apply MPNs, IPNs, device specifications, asset tags, internal SKU numbers, and any other information required by customers.
