Production management for apparel orders

We match your order to a vetted partner factory, run it against a dated calendar, and check it while it is being sewn, not only at the end.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Factory match

    We shortlist partner factories for your category, quantity and certificates.

  2. Step 2

    Order confirmation

    The approved PP sample, spec and dates are written into the purchase order.

  3. Step 3

    Materials in-house

    Fabric and trims are received and checked; cutting starts only when they pass.

  4. Step 4

    Cutting and sewing

    Inline checks against the PP sample while the lot is being made.

  5. Step 5

    Finishing and packing

    Final pressing, labelling and packing to your instructions, ready for inspection.

Pricing basis

Included in our service fee

  • Production management is part of our service fee, quoted as “from 5%” and confirmed in your costing.
  • The factory price is the FOB figure on your cost sheet.

Questions about Production management

Do you own the factories?

No. We develop, source, inspect and ship through vetted partner factories. Factory identities are shared once you accept a quote.

Can I visit during production?

Yes, in person or by video walk-through, arranged once your programme is confirmed.

What happens if a date slips?

The T&A calendar shows planned against actual dates. When a milestone slips we tell you early and propose recovery options, such as splitting the shipment or using air freight. Any extra cost is agreed with you first.

Is subcontracting allowed?

Not without your written consent. No order moves to a unit we have not visited.
