Vendor & Dealer Verification in simple terms

Documenting vendor or dealer premises and agreed business details before onboarding. It gives you independent, on-the-ground evidence instead of relying on self-reported updates from outlets, vendors or staff.

In Mumbai and its neighbouring cities, vendor & Dealer Verification is usually run as a batch across many addresses, so route planning, consistent checklists and evidence review matter as much as the visit itself.

What the field team checks

  • Premises exist and are operational
  • Signboard, GST display and timings
  • Stock and staff observed
  • Owner or manager met
  • Business activity matches claim

What you receive

  • Verification report with photos
  • Premises description
  • Red flags noted
  • Recommendation for the client

How a visit is run

  1. Addresses are grouped into routes by area and travel time
  2. The field person works through the 5-point checklist on site
  3. Photographs are captured against the points that need proof
  4. Every photograph and answer carries the job ID and location ID
  5. A supervisor reviews the submission and queries anything unclear
  6. Visits that could not be completed are marked with a reason for a revisit decision
  7. Completed visits are consolidated into one report

What to share before the visits

  • Location list with addresses and contact names
  • Checklist or instructions
  • Required photographs and evidence
  • Reporting deadline and format

When businesses use it

  • Before paying a vendor, installer or agency
  • After a campaign, installation or launch
  • On a recurring schedule for compliance
  • When an exception or complaint needs independent confirmation

Key takeaways

  • Vendor & Dealer Verification replaces self-reported updates with a visit record: 5 checklist points, photographs and one consolidated report.
  • The checklist runs from premises exist and are operational to business activity matches claim, with evidence recorded against the points that decide the outcome.
  • You receive 4 outputs: Verification report with photos, Premises description, Red flags noted, Recommendation for the client.
  • Photographs are geo-tagged and time-stamped, every submission is reviewed by a supervisor and a random sample is back-checked — which is what makes a verification record worth quoting internally.
  • Visits run across Mumbai City, the Western and Eastern Suburbs, Thane, Navi Mumbai and Panvel, and assignments typically start within one to three working days of a complete brief.

02

Checklist

Fix the 5 points you want answered

Evidence

Say what proof you want back
