A New way of doing E-Commerce
Merchadise has come to save the holiday season.?
Alex Phelan (USA) and Alex Young (USA), two experts in E-Commerce technologies, Digital Graphics, Mass Customization and Supply Chain Management, have come together to prompt a new paradigm for the whole Merch experience, from front end to back end.?
If you have a brand that drives engagement through customized goods, you are well aware of the supply chain crisis that the industry has been going through. So are Merchadise’s founders, but they also know that the pandemic only accelerated this already imminent crash. In fact, Alex Phelan, co-founder of Merchadise, has been warning about the inevitable collapse of the traditional model of supply chains for years. Back in 2013, when he became part of the Teespring founding team, one of the most disruptive companies specialized in social commerce and custom apparel, he started seeing many issues about the way in which the customized apparel sector was being handled. It was only a matter of time until the system would implode, and here we are today.
"At Merchadise, manufacturing is carried out in factories based in the US and Central America, all in one continent, so your customized products won’t travel around five countries before they finally arrive at destiny."
Merchadise’s mission is to offer brands a simple and painless way of doing customized products and E-Commerce, through an efficient and trustworthy workflow that cuts down the waiting time from many months to a matter of days or weeks. Manufacturing is carried out in factories based in the US and Central America, all in one continent, so your customized products won’t travel around five countries before they finally arrive at destiny. The necessity of investing in locally sourced manufacturing is hitting us in the head, and the Merchadise team is here to take on that job and rescue the customized products sector.??
“Because of this 'it gets the work done' mentality, many businesses delegate their manufacturing work to Asia. The shocking part about that is that there are many apparel industry folks that have no clue on how their products are made. We recently had a prominent LA based athleisure brand walk our factory, and incredibly enough, none of them had ever seen or been to an apparel factory before. It’s time to change this.” —Says Alex Young, co-founder of Merchadise, about the current situation of the customized products industry.?
