Case studies

Labeled dye-lot fabric swatches used to match reorder shades

School group

Matching Shirt Colour Across 40 Schools, Three Years of Reorders

Reorders placed over multiple years still match the original shade, new students no longer stand out next to returning ones, and the group approves repeat orders on the lab dip alone instead of re-running a full colour approval every cycle.

School stitching unit

Landing School Uniform Fabric Six Weeks Before Reopening

The blazer cloth, the check and the plain shirting all reached the unit before cutting started for the first time in three sessions, the top-up orders matched the base deliveries without a fresh approval round, and the unit now approves next year's custom shades in the month the current session ends.

Corporate buyer

A Consignment Held at Incoming Inspection, and How the Three Causes Were Separated

The consignment moved from a whole-lot rejection to four affected rolls with three different remedies, the cutting room started on schedule with the rolls that passed, and the buyer and the mill now raise construction, shade and handling as separate lines rather than as one dispute.

Corporate programme

One Approved Cloth, Three Stitching Units, Three Cities: Why the Garments Still Did Not Match

Finished garments from the three units now read as one uniform, the consumption gap between sites closed once all three worked to the same usable width, and what had been raised as a fabric complaint was resolved without changing the fabric.

Supplier switch

Matching an Incumbent's Cloth When All You Have Is a Worn Garment

The buyer moved supplier without a visible break in the programme, holds a filed physical reference and an independent composition report where previously there was a shade name and an invoice, and reorders are now placed against that reference instead of against whatever garment is nearest to hand.

Institutional supply

The Cloth Was Ready and the Consignment Still Could Not Ship

Later consignments left on their dates, because the report, the declaration and the inspection were finished before the rolls were, and the documents named the same lots the parcels contained. The buyer also stopped carrying a risk they had not priced: on a contract with a penalty for late delivery, a consignment held for paperwork costs exactly what a consignment held for fabric costs.

Fabric distributor

The Cloth Was Sold On, and the Complaint Came Back

Complaints are now answered from a retain against a named lot instead of from memory, buyers facing tender documentation get reports ordered with the cloth rather than requested after it is cut, and a customer who has to be supplied from two lots is told before the cloth is laid rather than after. The stockist also has a reason to buy documented lots, because the documentation is what he is now able to sell on.
