Want to expand collaboration

The Indonesian fashion industry today is diverse designer and brand, each with different production needs. MaaS allows businesses to scale their production up or down as demand fluctuates, without the burden of maintaining large manufacturing facilities. This is more advantageous for smaller and emerging designers, who may not have the resources for a substantial upfront investment.

MaaS providers often take advantage of the latest technologies such as 3D printing, digital pattern making and automation. By integrating these technologies, the fashion industry in Indonesia can increase efficiency, reduce production time, and minimize errors in production.

"Wifkain's targets are not always about numbers, because Wifkain always opens opportunities for cooperation and collaboration, for example with logistics companies, POS systems, or other startups that have the same vision and want to move forward together," said Sara.
