Interview / quotes attributed to:
Kathmandu’s Fabric Technology Team lead color palette direction and distribution, across internal brand teams and the supply chain
“When we started working with Coloro, we added so many colors to our palette because there were many we were missing that we couldn’t achieve with our previous provider.”
Unmatched Accuracy
Before
Kathmandu spent additional time re-dipping colors with their suppliers to get the perfect match. This was extending deadlines and creating waste.
With Coloro
The team has seen a noticeable difference while working with Coloro. They shared that “in terms of dipping and approving colors, our process now feels more streamlined”.
“Coloro colors are a lot easier to approve than colors from our previous provider. We’re approving more colors more frequently and they’re coming out as better matches, so we need less re-dips.”
Clear Coding System
Before
With their previous provider, Kathmandu were battling with discrepancies between internal color names and those provided by their supplier. This slowed down their workflow, adding unnecessary complication.
With Coloro
Coloro’s intuitive Color Code means Kathmandu can now easily identify colors, saving time and speeding up conversations with suppliers.
“Both our team and our suppliers love that the colors are identified by a color code and aren’t named. It streamlines the process, saving time and easing communications with suppliers.”
Seamless Support
Before
The Kathmandu team were concerned that the transition to a new color provider would interrupt their internal workflow and supplier relationships.
With Coloro
Kathmandu have had seamless integration with unrivalled support, finding that most of their suppliers were familiar with Coloro. Some of their suppliers used Coloro technical support for further information and help.
“The support we’ve had from Coloro and continue to receive has been great - we transitioned really easily.”
