Qualified orders from brands
ready to buy.
StitchGrid sends you complete briefs from vetted brands, matched to what your floor does best, so your team spends its time quoting orders it can win.
The problem
Great factories lose too much time finding the right buyers.
Trade show leads that go cold
A booth can cost a quarter's margin, and most of the cards you collect never become an order.
Buyers who won't commit
Curious brands that won't share quantities or pay deposits take hours of quoting and rarely place an order.
Specs you have to rebuild
Every brand sends a different format, from a Word document to a phone photo, and your team rebuilds the tech pack before it can quote.
Slow, uncertain payments
Wires that sit for a week and invoices chased after shipment make overseas buyers feel like more trouble than they are worth.
How it works
Quote and run orders from the inbox you already use.
- 01
Apply and get vetted
Share your capabilities, capacity, certifications, and references, and we visit in person before you join the network.
- 02
Receive matched briefs
We match briefs by category, capacity, region, and minimums, so you only see work you are equipped to win.
- 03
Quote the way you already do
Reply by email with your price, lead time, minimums, and terms, and we turn it into a clean quote the brand can compare.
- 04
Run the order from your inbox
Samples, revisions, milestones, and photos stay attached to the PO, whether you reply by email or sign in.
Payment terms
Get paid on schedule.
Every order follows the same schedule: 30% when it is placed, 40% when production is complete, and 30% when QC passes. The brand pays you directly, while StitchGrid records each event and keeps the evidence, so a late payment is a documented fact rather than an argument.
- The schedule is visible to both sides before production begins
- Each payment comes due when we record its event, from order placed to QC passed
- We follow up with the brand when a payment slips
- You invoice the brand and are paid directly
Joining the network
What we look for.
Brands trust the network because every factory in it has met the same standard.
- Audited social compliance (BSCI, WRAP, SA8000, or equivalent)
- Documented capacity and recent production references
- Owns or directly controls its production lines
- Welcomes an in-person visit and a conversation with the team
- Quotes in US dollars with clear FOB, EXW, or DDP terms
- Ships internationally with an experienced freight partner
Is there a cost to join?+
No, joining is free. You quote the price you want to receive, and StitchGrid adds a 10% commission on top before the brand sees it, or 6% on a reorder. When you win the order, you pay that commission to StitchGrid from what the brand pays you, and the brand pays StitchGrid nothing.
How exclusive is the network?+
We choose factories for capability and reliability rather than exclusivity. There is no non-compete, and you are free to keep working with any buyer you like.
Who owns the brand relationship?+
Once a brand goes into production with you, the relationship is yours. We make the introduction and provide the tools, and we never stand between you and the buyer.
What if a brand pays late?+
You invoice the brand against the schedule, 30% when the order is placed, 40% when production is complete, and 30% when QC passes, and the brand pays you directly. Each payment comes due once its event is recorded. If one runs late, tell us and we will follow up with the PO, the agreed schedule, and the evidence trail in hand.
Do you accept smaller factories?+
Yes, as long as you meet the capability bar. Mid-size factories with room for first orders of 300 to 1,000 units are especially welcome, because that is where brand demand is strongest.
What categories are you looking for?+
Knit and woven apparel, cut and sew, denim, outerwear, sweats, and related soft goods. If that describes you, email hello@stitchgrid.com.
For factories
Your next buyer won't come from a trade show.
Joining is free, every factory is visited in person, and orders are paid on milestones.
