Common Challenges & Our Solutions
Navigating Minimum Order Quantities
High minimum order quantities (MOQs) can be prohibitive for small brands or initial production runs, limiting access to certain materials and manufacturers.
Our Solution:
We maintain relationships with suppliers and manufacturers willing to accommodate smaller runs. For materials with high MOQs, we implement strategies like shared production runs, material bundling across styles, or connecting multiple brands for combined orders. We also help develop strategic material plans that maximize efficiency across your collection.
Verifying Ethical Claims
Many suppliers make sustainability or ethical claims that can be difficult to verify, creating risk for brands committed to responsible sourcing.
Our Solution:
We conduct thorough due diligence on all ethical claims, requiring documentation and certifications from recognized authorities. For key partners, we perform site visits or engage third-party auditors to verify conditions. We maintain detailed records of all verification processes to support your brand's transparency commitments.
Managing Supply Chain Disruptions
Global events, shipping delays, and material shortages can disrupt even the most carefully planned production schedules.
Our Solution:
We develop robust sourcing strategies with built-in contingencies, including backup suppliers for critical materials and diversified manufacturing options. We actively monitor potential disruptions and maintain regular communication with suppliers to identify issues early, allowing for proactive adjustments to minimize impact.
