The problem

Small clothing brands can't meet factory minimums of 1,000 pieces, while factories sit idle a fifth of the time between large orders.

The solution

Loomstack lets brands order runs of 50 pieces, which it slots into unused hours at audited factories and ships in three weeks.

Who it's for

Independent clothing brands selling online.

Market

Bottom-up: about 45,000 customers like this in Bangladesh and nearby, worth roughly $120 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

What people use today

Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.

Why this team wins

Farhana managed production planning at a garment exporter for nine years, so the team knows the buyers by name. Tanvir built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.

Headline metric

430 active users, growing 9% a month

The team

Farhana knows the customer and has sold to them before; Tanvir has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Loomstack had a name.
