TECH-TALK: HOW ON-DEMAND REALLY WORKS<\/span><\/h1>\n

  1. Identifying product category and distribution channel<\/span><\/strong>. The brand should decide which product to start manufacturing on-demand and which distribution channel to pursue.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    For the sake of simplicity, let\u2019s use an example of a denim brand introducing an on-demand denim collection that will sell solely online.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Identifying customization depth<\/span><\/strong>. The brand can decide on any level of customization from deep-customization (on a measurements and pattern level) to simply providing length, colour, wash and finish options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      In our example, let’s say the brand chooses deep customization, taking new measurements and reworking the patterns every time a new order is made,\u00a0 creating a unique pair of jeans for any body type from scratch.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Estimating technological scope of work. <\/span><\/strong>Depending on the current digital capabilities of the brand, selling on-demand might require deploying additional technology, such as backend order configuration module, online measurements-taking software, 3D garment representation, and so on. Most of these blocks would already be included in a third-party\/vendor offers. Therefore, the most crucial part of this step is identifying the right technology modules that would meet the brand\u2019s needs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        In our example, the brand would need to add a new order placement technology to the website, including measurements-taking, online integration of the materials catalogue, and online order configuration.\u00a0 A 3D viewer would be a great addition to allow the customers to see a selected pair of jeans in action.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Selecting the vendor. <\/span><\/strong>Once the product, customization level, and additional technological capabilities are finalized, the brand decides whether to develop the solution in-house or work with a vendor providing on-demand fashion solutions. It is imperative to match the technological scope of work and requirements to the vendors\u2019 core capabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

          In our example, the brand would select the vendor that, among other things, offers deep customization to carry measurements-taking, along with 3D body scan and 3D visualization functionality.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Collecting and transforming the data.<\/span><\/strong> At this step, the brand works closely with the third party of choice, providing the required data. The data is collected using a template and it includes measurement grids, garment characteristics (name, product type, components, etc.), pattern files and drawings, tech packs, fabric samples, DXF files for 3D. Sidenote: DXF is a standard format for CAD design across all industries. OBJ format (standard file format for 3D objects) is used for the garment 3D models.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Delivering the<\/span><\/strong> The 3rd party will deploy and test the solution at this stage, providing necessary training and guidance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Rolling out the solution in all points of sales and geographies, e-commerce and offline. <\/span><\/strong>At this stage, the solution will enter the scaling and maintenance phase.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                An average on-demand pilot project will take anywhere from several months to about a year.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
