The brief

A searchable marketplace for American manufacturing

Maker's Row pages

01

The challenge

For startups and growing brands, finding a U.S. manufacturer usually meant cold calls, trade shows and a lot of guesswork. There was no easy way to compare what factories could make, check whether they were a good fit, or keep production conversations in one place. That was especially true for apparel, accessories and lifestyle products.

02

The solution

Team members worked on a marketplace built around search and discovery. Brands filter manufacturers by location, capabilities, production volume and industry, then contact suppliers directly through messaging, file sharing and production timelines inside the platform. Data fetching, caching and rendering were built with performance in mind.

03

What was delivered

A production platform with multi-criteria manufacturer search, listing and capacity management for factories, messaging and file sharing, a reusable UI component library, admin workflows, onboarding and guidance modules, and monitoring and error reporting on the business-critical flows.

How it was built

From first brief to production.

How this build was organised: 4 stages, each with its own hand-off.
  1. 01

    Discover & Define

    Studied how brands look for production partners and defined the search criteria that matter when choosing one.

  2. 02

    Design & Prototype

    Designed B2B workflows and reusable components for both sides of the marketplace: brands and manufacturers.

  3. 03

    Develop & Build

    Built search, listing management and collaboration tools, with attention to how data is fetched and cached.

  4. 04

    Deploy & Support

    Added monitoring and error reporting, and hardened the workflows that transactions depend on.
