Transforming the Textiles Industry
The Pattern Cloud is a conglomerate of leading UK textile studios with over 150 years industry experience between them. Brought together by a commitment to make buying more efficient and more accessible. In today’s connected world, that means moving the textile industry online. To achieve this, The Pattern Cloud approached us to create an app that would change the way textile design studios work.
The Problem
When it comes to the textile industry, there are still so many textile design studios relying on outdated methods. For example, many sales representatives haul bulky fabric portfolios to meetings. But when a client asks for ‘a similar design in blue,’ sales reps are stuck. They have to make do describing the design, often sending a physical sample in the post to follow-up.
This isn’t just inefficient, it’s also losing textile design studios money. Buyers are most engaged when they’re in a face-to-face meeting. On one hand, selling a design without being able to show it is a huge challenge. But on the other, it’s impossible to bring thousands of fabric designs with you to a meeting… Right?
