What we do

//01

Supplier identification & mapping

We find factories that fit your product, price and volume in China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey. You get 3–5 options compared on cost, quality, lead time and minimums.

  • Factory search
  • Comparison
  • Supplier map
//02

Factory audit & validation

Before you pay for an order we check capacity, consistent quality, lead times and payment terms. Each factory gets a traffic-light report.

  • Capacity
  • Quality
  • Lead times
  • Terms
//03

Negotiation of terms & MOQs

We group colours, mix sizes and commit to continuity to bring minimums down, which range from 30 to 2,000 units per style depending on origin. Everything in writing.

  • Price
  • MOQ
  • Payment
  • Delivery
//04

Fabric & trims sourcing

Every material comes with its spec: composition, weight, colour, price and lead time, so the whole collection is bought on the same criteria.

  • Fabrics
  • Labels
  • Buttons
  • Zips
//05

Nearshoring vs offshoring: trade-off analysis

We compare producing close, in Portugal or Turkey, or far, in Asia. Unit price is not the only cost: freight, duties, lead times and risk count too.

  • Total cost
  • Lead time
  • Risk
  • Minimums
