The challenge
Garment buyers qualify suppliers in a fixed order: what can you make, how
much of it, to what standard, and how fast. A supplier who cannot answer
those four questions quickly gets skipped, because there is always another
factory that can.
Medusa Apparels runs three production streams - knit, sweater, and woven and
denim - with different capacities and different partner factories behind
each. That is genuinely useful detail to a buyer and genuinely confusing to
present, because it is three businesses sharing one critical path.
The audience is also international, reading in a second or third language,
often on a phone, from a different timezone.
