We have created a platform where users can come in and create sports uniforms for their teams in just a few minutes, or have the uniforms designed using professional design tools by professional designers. We have tools for both consumer and for pro-designers to make it easy. Once the product is purchased, it is manufactured by different factories around the world. The delivery is possible in as short as 7 days vs 2-3 month industry standard. Everything is visualized in WYSYWIG fashion in 3D with all details of the design and finished look. We work with teams who need quick uniforms and with existing industry professionals who want to be using the platform for resale purposes.
