Why SIVOWe sell trust,
We sell trust,
not access.
SIVO is a quality-led marketplace connecting verified Indian manufacturers and named artisans to UK trade buyers. Every seller passes a hard UK/EU compliance gate before they list. Every order ships with a QR code that traces it to the factory, the artisan, and the inspector. UK bonded warehouse spot-check on every container.

The SIVO Advantage
Why Source Through SIVO
🛡️
Compliance Gate Before Listing
Sellers cannot list until UKCA, BS 7177, REACH, FSC and category-specific certs are verified directly with the issuing labs. Off-whitelist certs are auto-rejected. Forged certs = permanent ban.
📷
In-Production Photo Sampling
Factories photograph 5–10% of every batch via the SIVO Factory App. GPS + EXIF locked. Six standardised angles per unit. AI photo forensics flag reuse, edits, and AI-generated images.
🔬
Independent Pre-Shipment Inspection
Every container inspected by an independent third-party agency (QIMA, SGS, Bureau Veritas, TIC Council). Inspectors rotated; no inspector revisits the same factory consecutively.
🚢
UK Bonded Warehouse Spot-Check
All containers route through SIVO’s UK bonded warehouse before release. Manifest reconciled, random units opened, lab-tested where flagged. You never receive an unverified container.
📷
QR Code Per Item
Every shipped unit carries a QR encoding a cryptographic hash of factory + batch + photos + inspector + timestamp. Scan to see the full traceability. Tamper-detectable.
💷
Buyer-Protection Pool
3% of every order is ringfenced into a refund pool. Raise a dispute within 14 days of scan-confirm and you’re paid first; we recover from the seller’s bond after.
🤝
Named Artisans, 100% Tips
Every product names its artisan. Buyers can tip the artisan via UPI direct — the owner cannot intercept. Master Artisan certification is a Gold-tier requirement.
⚖️
Three-Strike Ladder
Confirmed cheating costs the seller their security bond, then their listing privileges, then a permanent public delisting. We publish the strikes. Sellers know cheating is expensive.
