Footwear Design and Manufacturing Services
A link or the whole chain? The choice is yours.
You can make use of our full Footwear Product Creation Engine. Or you can mix and match just a selection of the specialist services that we have on offer. First of all we take a good look at your particular needs; then we will provide you with a full breakdown of what we think you will need to enhance your own organisation and meet your objectives. Our recommendations could include any of the following alternatives:
- Plug'n'Play the whole suite of TLD services to run your footwear business for you. Typically, this would be the option for new start-ups or brands moving into footwear with no previous experience of this industry
- Mix'n'Match the necessary elements that are missing or deficient in your current set up. Typcially, this might be the preferred option for brands that have been working in Asia for 3-6 years but know that there is more available for them yet just don't know upon which doors to knock in order to raise their product to the next level.
- Gilding the Lily for brands that are currently fully sourced and enjoy good coverage but need to look for that extra edge to set them apart from the rest - maybe they just lack the necessary in-house resources in a specifialist area of technology or marketing.
The shoe consultation process is simple. First of all we need to listen to you. In complete confidentiality we want to know all about you:
- who you are?
- what you do?
- where you have been?
- where you see you are headed?
- what are your strengths / underused resources?
- what are your weaknesses / vulnerabilities?
- what are your aspirations?
- what are your company values / culture?
Having listened we can then talk to you and explain what we have on offer that could be helpful to you. Finally we will provide you with our detailed feedback which will include a complete assessment of what the cost would be to you to meet your raised expectations, taking account of any restrictions imposed by your process and company culture.
Our full prescription for the solving of your problems might also be too much of a bitter pill to swallow at one time. If that is the case then we would work out a phasing plan to help you reach your objectives.
If you already have the best processes and people in place for your footwear development project, and there is nothing that you need from us, then we will tell you. However, this has not happened yet because the company that already has its act together does not need to call us. Usually it is the case that someone within a company realises that there are shortcomings in a particular area, but due to industry inexperience, or the lack of specific knowledge, they may not be able to put their finger on the particular problem. We can draw upon such a wide base of experience and knowledge, covering every aspect of this industry, that we can spot what might not at present be clear to you, and provide practical solutions to your very specific problem.
