In the current context of travel disruption, the ‘normal practices’ adopted by many companies until now need to be reassessed. Brands and retailers must be present in factories in many cases to oversee requirements, including the evaluation of prototypes, the review of samples at the pre-production or production stage, and the selection of items for new collections. But how can companies achieve this given the current travel restrictions and without teams on-site?
Occasionally, factories can send samples to the quality teams closest to them or even to the head office. However, in most circumstances, this solution would be too costly and time-consuming. To facilitate a quick decision process and speedy time-to-market, API has harnessed the latest video technology to develop a series of remote solutions.
