1. About DOTTIE 

Founded in 2013, DOTTIE, a Vietnamese fashion pioneer specializing in women's casual wear, has been at the forefront of the local fashion scene. With 15 stores in major cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, DOTTIE has built a reputation on three pillars: customer focus, exceptional quality, and relentless creativity. It's this ethos that led DOTTIE to partner with Inflow, transforming their production journey since joining forces a year ago.

DOTTIE's challenges - Where the story begins 

Remember those days when finding the perfect outfit felt like a treasure hunt? That's how DOTTIE started – with a dream to bring joy through clothes. But, like any great journey, they faced challenges. Keeping up with their own high standards was tough, especially with inconsistent product quality. As they shifted their focus to knit products, DOTTIE needed an excellent manufacturer that could understand and handle the complicated texture of knit. Moreover, in order to expand their brand nationally or even internationally, DOTTIE must also pay attention to other aspects of the business, for example sales and marketing. But, spending so much time finding the right manufacturer and making sure the products were good took away time from these other important parts of their business, making it hard for DOTTIE to achieve bigger success. Plus, to keep up with what customers want, DOTTIE really needed to get their products on the shelves pronto. That meant the whole production process had to be speedy and smooth. But, not every manufacturer in Vietnam could quite keep up with DOTTIE's tight timeline. This is when Inflow came into the picture, offering the needed support and solutions to help them navigate these challenges. 

Inflow's tailored solutions 

Inflow, an end-to-end supply chain and manufacturing platform, promised to make DOTTIE's production process smoother from start to finish. With Inflow's help, DOTTIE could not only design but also produce large quantities easily, which let them focus more on growing their sales and marketing.

Inflow did more than just help out. We had a special team to check the quality at every step, making sure every piece of clothing met DOTTIE's high standards, from the first samples to the final products. Also, with Inflow's research and development lab, DOTTIE got to see and test high-quality knit samples, which helped them check quality better and know what the final products would be like. Moreover, with Inflow’s R&D room, the time for sample production is cut down to 7 days, which speeds up the lead time in general.This careful way of doing things was a big change and helped DOTTIE overcome their production problems.

Meeting DOTTIE's standards: 100% inspection for the highest quality

Being a key player in Vietnam's fashion industry, DOTTIE has their own quality standards that manufacturing partners have to meet. Inflow applies 100% inspection for each and every DOTTIE's orders to ensure that every single piece of garment produced meets the expectations of our beloved customer. To be more specific, in a full inspection or 100% inspection, every single product or component undergoes a thorough examination to confirm compliance with certain standards or requirements. This quality control method involves scrutinizing each item to detect any defects, irregularities, or other problems, ensuring that no aspect is overlooked. This thorough process is a testament to how much we value our customers and our dedication to making sure every detail is just right, just for you. 

DOTTIE’s Glow-Up

Today, DOTTIE has evolved beyond just being a brand - it's now a source of confidence. They've launched four knitwear collections, crafting over 4000 unique pieces in collaboration with Inflow, all of which are readily accessible at DOTTIE's both physical and online stores across Vietnam. DOTTIE is more than happy with our service, as within thousands of items ordered, there are only 1 - 2 defects, which means the success level is at nearly 100%. With Inflow's backing, DOTTIE can confidently ensure that their knit collections are consistently produced on schedule and with top-notch quality, thereby enhancing their brand reputation and image in the eyes of their customers.
