The sampling process is a complex, challenging process that has huge implications on a brand’s lead times and product quality.
But lots of brands neglect to understand not only how this affects their own process, if not done right, but also how it affects manufacturers.
Sampling is a mini production run for manufacturers who need to source everything needed for a single item, which means accurate tech packs are crucial. A tiny mistake in the sample approval process can mean a whole production run can go waste.
This is why creating a system that allows brands and manufacturers to collaborate quickly and accurately on sampling and reduce lead times, was crucial when designing the features of SupplyCompass.
Watch/Listen to Co-Founder + Head of Product, Flora Davidson, explain why sampling needs to be taken seriously by brands who want to streamline their production and work effectively with their manufacturers, understanding their needs.
