Working with over 100 fashion, sports and lifestyle product brands has taught us where improving how you develop, source and deliver product usually goes wrong: technology arrives before the way of working has changed. So we start with change management, then bring in the technology to make it stick. Wherever possible, the person who scopes your work stays involved all the way through. If your business has outgrown the way it works, that is where we start.
Over 100 brands · concept to Digital Product Passport · London, since 2001
Whichever division you work with, you get the same working methods, the same standard and the same accountability for the outcome.
Our team has held operational roles inside fashion, sports and lifestyle product businesses. You get advice grounded in how your business actually runs, and a straight answer about what will work and what will not. Change management, from concept to Digital Product Passport.
Where the change needs systems, our its.fashion division takes it on: a technology assessment of what you have and what you need, then selection, implementation and the automation that follows. One plan, and one company accountable for it.
Where nothing suitable existed, we built it. Progressed, our delivery platform, is the current incubation: used on our own client projects, with what we learn there going straight back into it before it reaches you.
its.fashion is the Conceptable division that delivers the technology side of our work. Progressed is the newest thing we are investing in. One company stands behind both.
The technology side of every engagement: a technology assessment, then the systems your product data lives in and the bridges between them, from PLM (product lifecycle management) to ERP and wholesale, so that information created once travels wherever it is needed, including your Digital Product Passport and EPR (extended producer responsibility) reporting. Over 100 PLM implementations, and the integrations that make them useful.
Incubation
Our delivery platform, built because nothing planned client projects properly. In advanced beta and in use on our own projects: critical-path scheduling in working days, one shared space for every team involved, and built-in, organised file sharing.
Fashion brands, Premier League clubs with merchandise collections spanning many countries, European supermarket groups and licensed-product businesses rely on us to change how they develop, source and deliver product, and to stay ahead of the regulation that shapes it. If that sounds like your business, you would be in good company.
Wherever possible, the person who scopes your work is involved all the way through, so what was agreed at the start is what gets delivered. There is no account manager between you and the work. We are small on purpose, and we would rather turn a project down than staff it badly.
When a project needs more capacity or a particular specialism, we bring in delivery partners we have selected carefully and trained in our working methods. They work to our plan and our standard, and we stay accountable for the result.
Change management comes first. Where it needs systems, our its.fashion division assesses, selects and implements them, so you never deal with a separate supplier. Either way, you deal with people who have significant experience inside businesses like yours.
Tell us what you are working on. We will point you to the right division, or tell you if we are not the right fit.
