This is the product innovation stage, where you
brainstorm product concepts based on customer
needs, concept testing, and market research.

When you have a new product concept, it’s
a good idea to evaluate your material library.
Are there existing fabrics that solve a similar
problem? Or does a competitor offer a product
that is not different enough from yours?

Now it is time for virtual visualization. With the help
of textile software, we can predict and assess the
strengths and flaws of a given fabric and substitute,
adapt, modify or arrange it accordingly.

These early-stage virtual prototypes are already
complex and help you identify areas of risk
before you create the product. It is also important
to analyse the feasibility of the new product.

The final outcome of the prototyping stage is a
minimum viable product, a prototype that has the
features necessary to go to launch and nothing
above what’s necessary for it to function.

At this stage, we must estimate the per unit cost
of manufactured goods, in order to evaluate and
determine the usefulness of each step in the
production process as well as the true value and
costs associated with each individual unit.

At last, it is time for production. There is an
ecosystem of stakeholders involved in the
process and each one has a crucial role to
play, that cannot be replaced. It is the only
way we can make a real impact.

We value every
voice in innovation
Relentless customer-centric
innovation and a strategic drive
towards quality and sustainability
in all operations will be the hallmark
of the successful textile business
of the future.
