About Us & Our Technical Support Service

TIME TO FIND A SOLUTION

Since 2015, an increasing number of queries reach us, seeking technical support on the ground, at the production sites worldwide. Textile engineering, covering the full bandwidth of the value chain (fibre - yarn - fabric - finishing - confection) is in high demand, experts are scarce. At the same time, product quality and productivity are key elements to operate a competitive production and thus to guarantee a reliable supply-chain.

OUR MODEL

You can browse our experts and should you feel that one person is suitable, we can arrange an online meeting to discuss your project. For the online meeting we charge a flat-fee of EUR 300,00 without any obligations, neither for you nor for the expert.

If you feel that you would like to proceed with the expert, the following packages are available:

Package 1: Capturing

An online capturing session will be organised, bringing the expert into the production site for a run-through of approximatel 1-2 hours. Staff from the production site should be available to show the expert around, to explaing and to answer questions. Following the capturing of the production site, a meeting between you, the operator of the production site and the expert is hosted (immediately after the production visit) to discuss what can be done. The price for this 1/2 day project is EUR 750,00.

Package 2: Implementation

You decided that you would like to engage our expert for a set of selected tasks to be accomplished. An Action Plan is jointly developed, clearly outlining what needs to be done within a given period of time. We charge implementation package prices, based on a daily rate for the expert, plus expenses for on-site interventions. You pay us, we pay the expert.

Package 3: Roll-out / Take-over

You are happy with the results and consider a longer-term engagement with the expert. We either plan the project or you 'take-over' the expert by negotiating a compensation directly with him/her and we receive 25% of the anual financial commitment you have negotiated with the expert.
