Streamlining Design &
Production Processes

One of the significant advantages of apparel digital twins is the ability to optimize design and production processes. By utilizing digital prototypes, you can eliminate or significantly reduce the need for endless sampling rounds and iterations. This streamlines the design process, saving time, materials, and energy. By reducing the reliance on physical samples, you can significantly minimize fabric waste by up to 80% and salesman samples by 50%. These efficiencies not only benefit the environment but also contribute to cost savings that positively impact on your bottom line.

Keeping Track of Your
Sustainability Impact

Sustainability is not just about setting goals; it's about measuring and tracking your progress. Digital technology enables you to collect accurate data across your value chain, allowing you to measure your sustainability impact more effectively. With the right 3D solution in your workflow, you can stay on top of your environmental footprint, identify areas for improvement, and make informed decisions that drive positive change. By understanding the impact of your actions, you can continuously optimize your sustainability efforts and achieve greater results over time.

Efficient Waste Reduction

Reducing waste is a critical aspect of sustainability, and by leveraging true-to-life 3D apparel technology that allows you to understand the design and fit of your garment, you can significantly reduce the need for physical samples, thereby reducing material waste and saving resources. Digital samples and virtual fitting enable accurate fit validation without the need for multiple iterations, further saving time, materials, and energy. Additionally, digital upcycling capabilities allow you to repurpose excess fabric and transform it into new garments, minimizing waste and maximizing resource utilization.

“Sustainability is an important value for Halti. Three years ago, we decided that it is pointless to fly clothing proto pieces back and forth around the world when design and testing can now also be carried out with 3D technology.”

Promoting Transparency &
Collaboration

Adopting advanced digital technology also promotes transparency and collaboration across the apparel supply chain. With cross functional collaboration tools like Stylezone and VStitcher, you can easily share digital samples, designs, and fit information with suppliers, manufacturers, and stakeholders. By eliminating the need for physical shipments, you can significantly reduce carbon emissions associated with transportation. This streamlined collaboration enhances communication, reduces errors, and fosters a more sustainable and efficient supply chain.

Cost Efficiency &
Compelling Products

By embracing digital technology, you can achieve cost efficiency while delivering compelling products to your customers. Virtual garment showcasing simplifies online sales and marketing, while data-based consumer insights drive predictive manufacturing and cost optimization. Additionally, pre-assessing costs before garment production enables you to make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary expenses. By leveraging the power of 3D technology, you can keep costs low and deliver products that resonate with your customers. By offering customers a more accurate representation of the garments through virtual garment showcasing, they can make better-informed purchasing decisions, reducing the likelihood of returns due to issues related to fit or appearance.

Meeting Global Sustainability
Standards with Verified Results

Validation of results is crucial in today's business landscape, driven by demands from both customers and legislators. Sustainability has become a "permission to play" value and it is imperative for businesses to implement solutions that deliver measurable results. Our purpose-driven solutions not only impact a business’s bottom line but enable apparel organizations to set and achieve ambitious sustainability goals by unlocking new capabilities for the measurement and tracking of impact across value chains. With Browzwear, businesses can validate their results and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability while also driving growth and profitability.

A Holistic Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability is not a standalone initiative; it requires a comprehensive approach that addresses various aspects of the apparel industry. By utilizing Browzwear’s suite of digital apparel solutions, you can actively work towards reducing your carbon footprint, minimizing waste, responsibly sourcing materials, and addressing other vital sustainability aspects. This empowers you to make significant advancements and contribute to a more environmentally friendly future for the fashion industry.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

“Working with 3D has also reduced the need to frequently travel overseas to verify the patterns with the suppliers, now that our suppliers are on board, everything can be communicated quickly, clearly, and virtually. The buying team has built trust in 3D, knowing that whatever works or doesn’t work on the virtual garment will be reflected on the physical.”
