What's Next for CVI? CVI's strategy combines its two divisions to provide a tangible product that exemplifies the power of the technology platform and the benefits it can drive for members of the apparel industry that want to use technology innovation to improve the products and services they provide to customers. The true vision of the technology is to bring the ability for those who supply the apparel industry with labels to provide higher paying professional and technical employment opportunities for Americans. We can not provide production labor cheap enough to bring that aspect back as an onshore model, but we must revolutionize the process of the label makers so that they can utilize off-shore production processes efficiently eliminating the bottom line drivers that would force them to move their headquarters and hence, their revenues off shore. The Label Division's planned re-deployment of the TAKIT label will give those interested in the technology something that they can hold in their hands as they consider the implementation of a technology platform that inspires collaboration and integration in not only the back end manufacturing and logistics, as exists within some business models, but also drives the collaboration and integration of all contributors to the front-end or pre-production side of the apparel industry's manufacturing model, which has yet to be done in the industry. The recreation of the volleyball, basketball and tennis label will support the development of the platform and help create awareness around the platform that CVI enlists to move label makers from concept through delivery production cycle from 270 days to as little as 90 days. The sale of the TAKIT lines will roll out to include the youth sport fashion market with TAKIT Chet and the girls sport fashion market with TAKIT Girl. Extending the Label to focusing design on the particular needs and desires of two exploding market niches, the TAKIT label will guide apparel industry leaders into discovery and adoption of CVI's technology platform. After realizing the contribution the technology can make in everything from concept creation to delivery schedules, those in the label making industry will adopt the platform for themselves. The Technology Division's completion of development will utilize the TAKIT label's re-deployment to fine tune details to current market experience. Creating more access and availability to value-chain input and teamwork and the sharing of information from all sources will project the industry into the 21st century and enable it to be again among the industrial leaders in the use of technology as an enabler. The modular approach to building the technology platform and its portal-like configuration is flexible enough for any label producer to implement it, regardless of existing technology. In fact, one of the requirements as CVI perseveres in its development is that the solution maintains its cross-platform nature. Because of its web-based, application service provider (ASP) approach, time-to-launch for the technology itself is minimal. |
