The Benefits of a Fashion Designer and Brands Timeline Tool
A timeline, in its broadest definition, is a visual representation that shows the passage of time. Designers have access to a Timeline with MakersValley that clearly indicates the passage of time. Each status update is marked by a timestamp that tells them exactly when each image or video was uploaded.
A timeline is useful for business purposes such as project management, communication, and quality assurance. This tool helps team members, no matter where they are located, stay organized with their time, materials, and milestones. It also allows them to set clear expectations and deadlines. A timeline tool can be incorporated into fashion production and sampling projects to allow for better planning.
Many benefits are available, including:
Communication is key for everyone involved
* Easier project tracking
* Better time management
* Easier task prioritization
Fashion designers can use a timeline to help them with certain tasks that they need to perform frequently.
* Managing seasonal fashion trends
Ordering fabrics and tools to create deliverables
Collaboration with other designers
Presenting ideas to the creative director
Visit manufacturers and tradeshows.
* Overseeing general project production
MakersValley Timeline for Fashion
MakerValley Timeline offers benefits that are specific to fashion designers. It helps them track the milestones of their product’s life cycle. The developer can see the development take shape at each stage of the production and sampling process by following and requesting project updates. This timeline format ensures that fashion designers can communicate clearly with their MakersValley Account Manager and their Italian factory partner during design projects. This increases efficiency for fashion designers during their sourcing, production, and sampling stages.
Our factories are expected to produce high-quality work for designers, as MakersValley’s misMakersValley are high-quality brands with high-end Italian manufacturers. Here are the steps we take to help designers monitor quality throughout their entire design process.
Step 1. Create an overall communication standard that the project will follow. For each design project, all communication will take place in two different areas: the design timeline and the design message. Timeline offers clear communication as one of its benefits.
Step 2 – Designers receive informative, quality-assured project updates.
The online MakersValley Timeline is updated when the artisans of a factory that matches a designer begin creating samples. MakersValley’s quaMakersValley’s team, based in Italy, continuously monitors the quality of every product update. The designer, as well as their account manager, will receive an email notification whenever Timeline posts an update by Italian artisans.
The MakersValley team in Italy will inform the designer and their account manager when the quality control process is complete. The sample will be shipped if there are no defects or issues. The factory will either rework or create a brand-new model if there are any issues with the quality of the piece. The designer’s Account Manager will use a timeline. Keep the designer informed and let them know when the second quality assurance test and the new model will be completed. Timeline allows you to communicate and identify issues in real-time.
The factory responds to the account manager’s request by updating images, videos, and status information. The Timeline’s visual comTimeline is crucial here as it gives the best possible impression of what a product or sample will look like.
This is listed as Step 4, but it happens throughout the sampling and production processes.
The sample has passed its first quality check. When the factory reviews the selection and meets the criteria on MakersValley’s proprieMakersValley’sAssurance Lis”,” the manufacturer up”loads photos and videos of the completed pieces to Timeline. They then ship the work from their location to MakersValley Italian QA for review.
Step 7 – The sample has passed its second quality check. Our proprietary multistep QA checklist is used by the MakersValley QA Team in Italy to review the model for the final time. Then, they update the designer on Timeline and send them the model to study.
Step 7. The fashion designer reviews the sample and approves it. If no further examples are required, the designer will fill out an agreement form to contract their factory partner for a certain number of the designs they have approved. After the fashion designer has paid their invoice for production, MakersValley will send the factory the final contract, supported by the designer, and the deadlines for production.
The sampling phase of the project’s Timeline is completed, and the production phase has been opened.
Step 8: Factory updates on Timeline keep the designer informed during production. The factory will update the Timeline with images and videos, just like it did during the sampling phase. However, this time, there will be more items being made.
Step 10 – The factory completes the MakersValley Quality Assurance form and sends a sample of the order for inspection to our Italian office. The same process is followed for these as it was with the models.
Step 10: The fashion designer must approve the final product shipment. The MakersValley team will send the designer the production shipping bill, which includes all customs fees, taxes, and freight charges after the factory has completed production. After the designer has paid the invoice, Timeline will notify the designer of the shipment.
MakersValley developed a Timeline in order to improve communication, ensure quality control, and accurately represent product samples. MakersValley Timeline provides designers with certainty in a field where language barriers, time zones, and inconsistent project management are common.
