Business Model of OnPoint Manufacturing
The apparel industry has been operating on Henry Ford’s in-line manufacturing system that revolutionized factories in 1913 and has remained almost unchallenged since. OnPoint Manufacturing takes the best of the in-line practices and adds a new dimension of automation, computer integration, and a unique new element of On Demand customization.

The Benefits of the On-Demand Business Model
The focus of On Demand is to add value to the customer experience and retain sales because you are not relying on what is in (or out) of stock and can deliver exactly what the customer wants.
- Any run length
- Any size
- Any variation
- No inventory
- Shipped directly to your customer
- Made in the USA
This means that you do not pay for inventory that may or may not sell. It means that you are not stuck with obsolete inventory and you do not invest in warehousing. You achieve more flexibility to modify your designs, add to your portfolio, and meet the needs of your customer. This model incorporates less risk and delivers more value, all while achieving the exact garment that you envision.
Improved inventory control, reduced overhead
Order only what you need, which greatly reduces or even eliminates your requirement for warehousing. You never have to tie up capital with unwanted inventory or spend money on shipping.
Profitability on every single piece sold
Whether you require one piece or thousands, the rates are structured so that you always make money on every sale, with profitability increasing as your volume increases.
Fast turn-around on orders
Orders are typically shipped directly to your customer within 72 hours.
Complete fulfillment services
You have the option to reduce overhead by authorizing OnPoint to function as your fulfillment house. OnPoint becomes your invisible partner in getting orders to customers.
Minimized returns
With the On-Demand model, your returns will be virtually eliminated. This will save you money as you only make what you need and when you need it.
Eco-Friendly
We have always maintained that the on-demand business model offers significant environmental advantages over traditional overseas manufacturing. With fast-fashion manufacturing most apparel often go unsold and are destroyed, usually after being shipped and handled multiple times. Wasted fabric, wasted energy, greenhouse emissions, and landfill overflows can result.
Made in America
OnPoint Manufacturing is located in Florence, Alabama, and 100% of the products that we produce are American made. With OnPoint you are keeping manufacturing in the USA, closer to your market, with faster delivery times.
