FINS VISION & VALUES
OUR VISION
The watch industry has enjoyed a proud tradition of craftsmanship and prestige however, it is having difficulties reinventing itself for the digital age. Caught by surprise at the rise of e-commerce, consumer demand for fast fashion, and the growing threat of smartwatches, most brands find themselves ill-prepared for today’s ever-changing marketplace.
The traditional sales and supply chain model is obsolete. It depends on inaccurate sales forecasts, lengthy production and delivery times and wholesale distribution models that create a disconnect between consumer desires and watchmakers.
These outdated supply chain methods cause overproduction, non-turning inventory, and cash flow issues that inflate overhead and often result in the need for costly product returns or liquidations.
Our vision is to offer an entirely new end-to-end supply chain concept that considers not only procurement and manufacturing, but distribution, sales and marketing.
In fact, micro-merchandising for customers shopping in retail or online, linked to production, creates a unique ‘up to the minute’ reference that triggers micro-manufacturing that can produce and ship a watch in less than 2 weeks – the best turnaround on bespoke watches in the industry.
Capturing user input at the front of the production cycle rather than at the end, achieves the efficiency of fast fashion while maintaining the cost savings of lean manufacturing practices. The results speak for themselves: less inventory carrying costs, more cash flow, better profit margins and most importantly, a better experience for customers.
