Intertek, a leading Total Quality Assurance provider to industries worldwide, is excited to announce the launch of iCare in India, where the company plays a pivotal role in supporting the textile industry, following the platform’s initial launch in Türkiye last November.
iCare is an innovative one-stop digital portal providing textile manufacturers with a pioneering solution that enables seamless management and monitoring of their testing processes from start to finish. Harnessing Intertek’s unique Science-based Customer Excellence Advantage, iCare addresses the long-standing challenges of transparency and traceability in the processing and testing of lab samples, thus removing communication barriers and improving the efficiency at which companies deliver their products to market.
Driven by increasing regulatory scrutiny and heightened end-consumer expectations, customers in the fashion and textile industries are increasingly seeking systemic, data-driven, end-to-end Total Quality Assurance solutions that enhance transparency and traceability, throughout the lab sample processing and testing stages.
True to our pioneering spirit, Intertek is proud to introduce iCare in India – a market-leading digital solution that has been specifically tailored to the needs of our manufacturing customers, setting it apart from other portals in the industry. iCare will empower them to effortlessly manage and monitor their projects with ease, thereby revolutionizing their experience of the quality and assurance process.
iCare provides Intertek’s customers with real-time information about the status and progress of their submitted samples through an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing customers to interact with us seamlessly through features such as chatbot and live chat. With just a touch or a few clicks, customers can easily perform various actions, such as submitting a test request, tracking job statuses, and downloading reports through one centralized digital platform, accessible 24/7.
