Our capability assessment evaluates a supplier’s design, innovation, and customization strengths to determine whether they can meet unique buyer specifications and adapt to changing market demands. This assessment goes beyond production—it focuses on R&D infrastructure, sample development speed, material sourcing flexibility, and engineering capabilities.

We examine:

• Product Design Expertise – In-house designers, CAD capabilities, and prototyping tools.
  
• R&D Strength – Dedicated teams for innovation, patents filed, and collaboration with institutes.
  
• Customization Range – Ability to modify dimensions, colors, materials, and features.
  
• Sampling Process – Turnaround time, quality of prototypes, and iteration handling.
  
• Material Sourcing Flexibility – Ability to procure alternative raw materials to meet buyer requirements.
  
• Technology Adoption – Use of automation, 3D printing, CNC machining, or digital textile printing (as applicable).
