Data is at our core, our people love it! Which is why we worked with GS1 US - an internationally recognized information standards organization - for two years, as part of the Apparel and General Merchandise Initiative, along with leading fashion brands to develop the globally recognized attribute standards for digitizing raw materials.
The standardized data provides brands with consistent and accurate material data for product development processes.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Together, we can reduce the environmental impact of footwear and apparel by digitizing material data and reducing the reliance on physical material samples.
Brands can view suppliers’ sustainability accreditations and certificates within the platform to make finding the right sustainable suppliers easier than ever.
To us, a digital material is more than just a picture, we help suppliers create quality material scans in 2D and 3D using the latest, state-of -the-art scanning technology, we then attach standardized material attribute data to accurately describe a material.
Materials have 2D & 3D files available to download and easily create virtual products in real-time.
