Client Challenge
The home security installer in Rome was looking to expand its home fire safety product range to meet growing residential market demand in Italy. Previous suppliers had issues with:
- Inconsistent product quality between batches
- Missing EN14604 / UL 217 certification documentation
- Long lead times (60+ days) causing stock-outs
- Limited APP localization — English-only interface unsuitable for Italy consumers

Wanlin assigned a dedicated export account manager to the Rome client and provided:
1. Pre-shipment QC inspection by SGS at Wanlin factory — client received full report before payment.
2. Complete EN14604 / UL 217 documentation package — accepted by Italy customs on first submission.
3. Customized packaging with Italy language instructions and local compliance marks.
4. 2-week delivery via sea freight (FCL) + DHL air for urgent replenishment orders.
5. English + local-language APP — reducing customer support burden for the Rome client.

- Zero quality-related returns from end consumers in Italy
- 86% repeat purchase rate among end users who registered the APP
- Client expanded from 1 SKU to 7 Wanlin product lines
- Second order placed within 4 months — quantity increased by 61%
