Pinko x Launchmetrics

"With RFID technology from Launchmetrics, we've transformed our sample management from a major headache to a streamlined, highly efficient process. This has not only saved us time and money but also allowed us to be more creative and responsive in our design and production phases."

Embracing sustainability, Pinko promotes ethical practices and environmental consciousness, inspiring fashion-forward individuals worldwide.

Pinko's Challenge

Pinko lacked a centralized sample management system, which meant sample information was scattered across spreadsheets and departments. They also needed help tracking samples of their high sample volumes, which caused errors and delays—before working with Launchmetrics, Pinko previously relied heavily on manual tracking methods, which were labor-intensive and error-prone, leading to sample loss and wasted time searching for items within the company. 

The Solution

Pinko's integration of Launchmetrics' Samples using RFID technology significantly enhanced its sample management and tracking capabilities. This ensured seamless sample tracking, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced inventory visibility.

The Results

• Streamlined sample management increased back-end processing speed by 50%, improving organization and transparency across departments.
• Improved forecasting and identification of production inefficiencies minimized sample overproduction.
• Precise sample tracking minimized errors and losses, leading to annual cost efficiencies through reduced misplacement.
