Pre-shipment verification01 / 08

Correct it
before it ships.

Atrette gives apparel brands and vendors a shared verification layer for sample development—so measurement and construction issues are found at the factory, not after the box arrives.

02 / The process

The distance between a question
and an answer is too long.

Physical sampling was built around the shipment. Atrette adds a verification point before it.

03 / Verification

A shared view of what was specified—and what was made.

Measurement evidence is organized around the points of measure your teams already use. Brand and vendor review the same values before a sample is cleared to ship.

04 / Modeled value

Model the value.
Then measure it.

Customer records replace assumptions before contracting. The reference model separates avoided cash costs from the value of recovered staff capacity.

Per avoided round

$250

$200 in sample cash cost plus $50 in modeled fitting capacity.

Full-target scenario

33.3%

Fewer physical samples when 150 included styles move from three rounds to two.

*Illustrative model: one $200 paid sample plus a 15-minute fitting with five people valued at $40/hour; no more than one avoided round per participating style. Recovered time represents capacity, not payroll reduction. Freight and calendar value are excluded. †3–5 weeks is a brand-reported revision-arrival interval, not a guaranteed time saving; actual recovery depends on verification and correction time.

05 / Platform

One standard.
Two sides of development.

Two apparel professionals reviewing a garment on a dress form
Shared operating standard Requirements from the brand. Evidence from the sample room. A recorded decision for every style.

For brands / designers

Review against intent.

See submitted measurements and construction evidence in the context of the sample, then communicate the next decision.

  1. 01Review submitted evidence
  2. 02Compare against the specification
  3. 03Record the development decision

For factory vendors

Verify before dispatch.

Organize the sample’s measurements and construction checks for brand review before shipment.

  1. 01Prepare the sample record
  2. 02Submit measurement evidence
  3. 03Respond to review

06 / Accountable reporting

Proof behind every
savings claim.

A pre-shipment correction alone does not prove that a paid round was avoided. Atrette connects the outcome to the style record and a comparable baseline.

Count what the brand actually avoids.

Compare similar categories and development stages, separate new design requests from vendor errors, and keep late samples in the result.

07 / Connected lifecycle

One portal for the
entire product lifecycle.

Atrette connects brands and vendors in one shared workspace, keeping every conversation, measurement, image, and construction detail tied to the right style from request through production.
