How we work

We start planning from your delivery date and work backwards. There are seven stages. Each stage has a date, a person responsible, and documents on file before the next stage starts.

Five approvals before shipment

Every approval has a date, a document and a person responsible. Nothing is agreed by phone only.

02 Costing approval BOM, consumption and FOB signed before capacity is booked.
03 PP sign-off Fit, colour under specified light, wash standard and trim card sealed.
04 DUPRO clearance During-production inspection cleared before bulk continues.
05 Final inspection AQL 2.5 / 4.0 passed and documented before shipment release.
Communication rhythm

You always know where your order is

One contact person. A progress report on the same day every week. And a clear process if a date is at risk.

Starting a program

We need three things to start

Category and construction

A sketch, a sample garment or a tech pack. Whatever you have.

Volume and target price

Per style and per colour, so we can give you a correct price the first time.

Ship date

The date we plan everything else from.

Send us your delivery date

We reply with the full schedule, the approval stages and the team responsible.
