Frank is the Brand & Supply GPT for fashion and footwear — turning briefs, tech packs and supplier knowledge into ranked, explainable supply options.
01 — The problem
A product's cost, impact and risk are largely locked in at the design stage — decided on knowledge that lives in no system of record.
Briefs, quotes and negotiations — scattered across inboxes and seasons.
Supplier reality, in real time — and gone the moment the chat scrolls on.
Prices, MOQs, tech packs and certificates, versioned by hand.
Capability, trust and relationships — held in a few people's heads.
Early sourcing decisions rely on email, Excel and memory.
02 — Why now
Models now extract meaning from PDFs, spreadsheets, images and supplier conversations — the formats sourcing actually runs on.
Tariff volatility and regionalization force brands to find and qualify new supply faster than ever.
Compliance, traceability and digital product passports turn undocumented supplier memory into real risk.
Where brand demand meets supplier capability.
03 — What Frank does
Frank reads the need, the design direction and brand constraints — written the way your team already writes them.
Grounded in dense supply-cluster data, Frank's agents translate brand intent into qualified supplier capability.
Ranked, explainable suppliers and materials — ready for RFQ, sampling and PLM handoff.
04 — Product
No dashboards to adopt, no data to re-key. Frank joins the thread your team is already in.
Briefs, tech packs and supplier replies — understood as written, with nothing re-keyed.
Suppliers and materials scored on fit, cost and compliance for the brief at hand.
Every recommendation traces back to real supply evidence you can check.
05 — Two sides, one network
06 — Why Frank
Supplier memory, private specifications and unindexed pricing — knowledge that lives nowhere on the open web.
Every brief, quote, sample and supplier response deepens the sourcing knowledge graph.
From discovery to RFQ to PLM handoff, Frank works inside your daily sourcing decisions — not beside them.
07 — In the field
“A strong validation of the direction we're building together.”
