External technical office

External technical office for textile product development.

Specialized technical service for fashion, uniforms and equipment.

Technical development is often the bottleneck for many textile companies.

Every season, designs must be turned into patterns, technical specifications and clear production briefs so they can be manufactured reliably. It is a critical phase: this is where the real construction of the product, the final quality and its industrial viability are defined.

However, technical development has a particular characteristic: it is a recurring process, but with a very variable workload depending on the collection, the projects or market demand.

For this reason, many companies struggle to maintain an internal structure elastic enough to absorb development peaks without affecting deadlines, quality or collection calendar.

When this phase is under stress, the impact ends up showing in the schedule, in the development cost and in the quality of the final product.

We bring structure and technical capacity to product development.

We act as an external technical office, transforming design concepts into pieces ready for production with a clear technical definition. Our model works as a natural extension of the company’s product development team.

Specialized technical capacity

For the industrial development of products.
Operational elasticity

Adapted to the rhythm of the collections.
Structured processes

Ensuring that pieces reach production with complete and reliable technical specifications.

Process

Technical process

Four technical-definition gates that guarantee the product reaches production without friction.

01

Design Freeze

Design review and lock
- Review of the design information.
- Identification of possible construction or material risks.
- Formal confirmation of the design to be developed.
02

Tech Pack

Complete technical file
- Elaboration of the complete technical file.
- Definition of the size chart and grading criteria.
- Patterns, gradings and production markers.
- Preparation of the information needed to produce samples.
03

PP Sample

Pre-production sample
- Development and validation of the pre-production sample (PP sample).
- Comprehensive review of measurements, finishes and components.
- Pre-production meeting (PPM).
- Delivery of the Production File as official reference.
04

TOP Sample

Top of Production
- Review of the Top of Production (TOP sample).
- Confirmation of consistency with the approved PP sample.

05

Sampling

Prototypes & short runs
- Coordination of prototypes and development samples.
- Production of commercial sample sets.
- Small validation or launch runs.
- Technical follow-up of quality and measurements.
- Specialized workshops by product type.
06

Production Coordination

Pilot & validation runs
- Technical coordination with workshops and manufacturing suppliers.
- Follow-up of pilot production or short runs.
- Consistency control against the Tech Pack specifications.
- Validation of measurements, finishes and components.
- Resolution of technical incidents during production.

Agility

In the fitting and PP Sample validation process.

Technical control

Over the Tech Pack specifications.

Flexibility

In volumes and lead times to match market needs.

We accompany industrial product development.

We bring specialized technical capacity to reinforce or outsource product development through structure, clear processes and efficient working systems.

Product definition

We turn design into a technically defined product, ready for production.

Product technical specifications (Tech Pack).
Product components and materials (BOM — Bill of Materials).
Points of measure, size chart and tolerances (POM).
Industrial patterns, gradings and cut markers.
Technical validation samples (proto, fit, size set, PP sample).

Process definition

We help order and optimize the technical development process.

Analysis of the product development flow.
Definition and standardization of technical documentation.
Optimization of the development process.
Implementation of working systems and process control.
Measurement of development time and productivity.

We bring specialized technical capacity to reinforce or outsource product development through structure, clear processes and efficient working systems.

When to work with us?

01 When delays appear on the production calendar.
02 When production errors appear from incomplete technical specifications.
03 When patterns, gradings or samples generate continuous rework.
04 When the volume of styles exceeds the technical team’s capacity.
05 When the product technical documentation needs to be ordered and standardized.
06 Or when you have a product idea and need a technical office to bring it to production.
