As consultants, we assisted textile distributors from the US that were seeking to benefit from the Free Trade Agreement. Thanks to the tools learned at the Web 2.0 workshop, we were able to post a set of pictures that impressed our clients.
From a list that contains 14 manufacturing businesses, we have chosen 5 of them (2 large, 1 medium, and 2 small) that have provided us with “impacting” results. Currently, talks are under way to create an enterprise of mixed paid-in capital (Peru-US), with headquarters in Lima. This business would be in charge of quality control and the financing of SMEs’ production. Since the prints cannot be removed with the change of season, we have decided to get the prints from the US via the internet which then will be printed in Lima according to the retailers’ demand. On the other hand, the website will be administered in Lima and we are hoping that with an efficient supply chain, we are able to have the stores in Lima, rather than in the US.
Como consultores atendimos a distribuidores de prendas textiles de EEUU que buscan beneficiarse con las oportunidades del TLC. Gracias a las herramientas aprendidas en el taller Web 2.0, colgamos una colección de fotos que impresionó. De una lista de 14 empresas fabricantes, hemos seleccionado una lista corta de 5 empresas (2 grandes, 1 mediana y 2 pequeñas) que nos han dado muestras de "impacto". Actualmente estamos en conversaciones para crear una empresa de accionariado mixto (Perú-EEUU) con sede en Lima que se encargaría del control de calidad y de financiar la producción de las MYPES. Como los estampados no se pueden "borrar" cuando cambia una "temporada", hemos decidido enviar desde EEUU los patrones por internet e imprimirlos en el Perú de acuerdo a la demanda de los retailers. Por otro lado el portal Web se administrará desde Lima y buscamos que con una eficiente cadena logística podamos tener los almacenes en Lima en vez de EEUU.
