Production can be a nightmare, we get it. Chasing after manufacturers for updates. New versions of tech packs are sent but the wrong sample arrives at your doorstep. Scrolling through chain after chain of emails, trying to figure out when your product has left the factory because you’ve got a drop scheduled and marketing is in a frenzy. Then, your product’s late, you’ve missed a deadline, your hair’s half grey and it all starts again with the next run. It’s just an expensive, expensive way to work. But, wait. Imagine, for a second, a world where you and your manufacturer are on the same page. Information ALWAYS up-to-date. Ordering samples like you’re on an ecom store, and chatting like you’re on Whatsapp. Everything properly linked to a tech pack and a timeline. One second to see where all your product’s at and another to check everything to be approved. Just a single click of a button to replace 10 tasks. Welcome to SupplyCompass. We’re a Sustainable Product Development and Delivery Software built for brands like you AND your manufacturers to work simpler and smarter, not harder. Because when you work quickly and accurately the first time around, it’s that much easier to focus on the creative side, scale revenue, work responsibly and produce the best possible product around. Oh, and our Co-Founders spent two years living and working in India to build the foundations of the company, which allowed us to develop the expertise to set a new standard in the industry. SupplyCompass is also backed by some of Europe’s leading venture capital firms and businesses, including Episode 1 and Farfetch, and is on an ambitious growth path to set a new gold standard.
