The launch of the cloud-based software that could transform the fashion industry....
Digital supply chain startup, SupplyCompass, could be all set to transform the fashion industry with the release of its full-service platform that empowers fashion brands to design and deliver better products, effortlessly.
The cloud-based software will digitise global supply chains and make sustainable sourcing easy for brands and every player in the supply chain.
The new design-to-delivery platform brings huge improved functionality for fast-growing fashion brands — making designing, developing and producing sustainable collections quicker, more efficient and cost effective. It will enable brands to get instant access to a global network of trusted manufacturers, develop sustainable collections and gain complete control over production.
Through the SaaS platform, fashion brands are able to design collections, collaborate across teams, create tech packs in minutes, find world-class manufacturers with leading certifications, get instant costs, receive quality samples first time, manage all production and ultimately have supply chain transparency and traceability – all from one dashboard.With better sourcing practices, the platform helps brands and factories improve collaboration, drive efficiencies, increase visibility, gather data and reduce waste.
It's a challenging time for retailers and brands are increasingly understanding the importance of investing in innovation and digitisation across business models, process and supply chains. The new platform enables brands to design for sustainability at the start, finding the right materials from the right sources and designing for end of life.
Through the platform’s holistic solution, brands can control up to 80% of the product’s environmental impact,
by discovering sustainable and local materials and using efficient processes – reducing waste and keeping supply chain costs down.Flora Davidson, SupplyCompass Co-Founder, commented:
“The current way of designing and producing goods is unsustainable for people and the planet. We believe that real change and transformation of the industry will only happen with the right combination of technology and collaboration. Through SupplyCompass, we are building the best supply chains and long-term production relationships with commitment, collaboration and transparency at the core, setting a new standard for sustainability in the fashion industry.”
Gus Bartholomew, SupplyCompass Co-Founder, continued: “SupplyCompass enables brands to meet the increasingly demanding needs of their customers by removing supply chain uncertainty so that they can focus on disrupting and innovating. Our vision is to build the new operating system for supply chains and set the gold standard for global sourcing, with sustainability at the heart.”
SupplyCompass has worked collaboratively with both its brand and manufacturer partners to build the new platform and drive the much-needed change in the supply chain. We look forward to seeing where it goes from here!
