Custom Products Are Still Too Complicated
Custom products often require buyers to coordinate multiple suppliers, specifications, pricing, customization and approvals.
More Steps. More Complexity.
What appears to be a simple product purchase can quickly become a multi-step process.
Too Many Moving Parts
Custom products require buyers to coordinate more information, decisions and participants than a conventional purchase.
Product Options
Finding products that meet requirements can involve multiple suppliers.
Pricing
Pricing can vary with quantity, materials, features and customization.
Customization
Artwork, colours and product details require coordination and separate levels of approval.
Delivery
Multiple production variables can make delivery timing difficult to predict.
The Complexity Doesn't End
Custom programs often need to be repeated across teams, seasons and organizations—requiring specifications, approvals and purchasing information to be recreated or maintained.
Match the Model to the Requirement
Different order volumes and customization requirements need different paths to market.
Dedicated Production
Larger custom and private-label programs built around specific product requirements.
Aggregated Production
Smaller custom orders brought together through scheduled production programs.
On-Demand Production
Smaller quantity orders supported through responsive production.
