CASE STUDY

Custom Fitness Apparel For Global Campaign Launch

Our Australian-based apparel partner required custom fitness apparel production for a fixed-date fitness challenge campaign. The campaign was launched across New Zealand and the United States. Merchandise needed to be available from day one to support participating studio locations and maintain campaign performance.

The Challenge

Fixed Global Launch Date
The campaign launched simultaneously across New Zealand and the United States. If the inventory did not arrive on time, the program would start without merchandise.
14 Days to Produce 3,000+ Units
Production began right after the Chinese New Year. Only 14 days were available to complete and dispatch over 3,000 garments. Any delay would result in inventory missing the launch date.
Split Shipments Across Countries
Tees, tanks & ladies' singlets were produced in China and divided across multiple locations. A packing or dispatch error could create a stock imbalance, emergency freight costs, or an incomplete rollout.

The Solution

To protect the fixed launch date, we secured production capacity through our manufacturing partner, Sphere Sport, before bulk production began. With only 14 days available, we confirmed consolidated order quantities directly with the client upfront to avoid last-minute revisions. That allowed production to begin immediately after Chinese New Year without rework or delay.

As production progressed, we tracked output against dispatch deadlines and coordinated international shipment once goods were ready. By managing both production timelines and cross-border dispatch together, we kept inventory moving and ensured each country received stock in time for launch.

The Objectives

Deliver 3,000+ custom fitness apparel within the 14-day launch window
Maintain consistent quality across all garments despite the compressed timeline
Protect the program’s fixed international launch date
Coordinate production and international delivery under one accountable partner

The Results

3,000+ Units Completed Within 14 Days

All garments were produced and dispatched within the 14-day window following Chinese New Year. No dispatch delays occurred.

Correct Allocation Across All Locations

Inventory was sorted and dispatched accurately between countries. No location experienced stock imbalance or incomplete launch coverage.

Merchandise Delivered On Time
