Sewing pace is below what the ship date needs
Lines 3, 4 and 5 have been below the required rate on every working day since sewing started on 3 October. Cutting is ahead, so sewing is the bottleneck.

Your options
ORBIT shows the options. You and the factory decide, under your own purchase contract.
A late shipment costs everyone: you lose selling weeks and markdown margin, the factory pays for air freight or discounts and waits longer to be paid, and the mill and forwarder lose their slots.

Warnings
Each warning says where, who and when, and whose move it is.
See every order inside the factory, from the UK
ORBIT sits between you and the factory. Factory staff record each stage in the ORBIT app with time-stamped photos and documents. ORBIT's own rules check the numbers and warn you weeks before a ship date slips. ORBIT does not use the factory's own systems.
ORBIT does
- Tracks every stage, from PO to UK arrival, and closes it only with evidence
- Shows where an order is stuck and whose move it is: you, the factory, the mill or the forwarder
- Forecasts the ship date from real daily output and warns you weeks ahead
- Checks that quantities and shipping documents agree
ORBIT does not
- Collect wage, payroll or attendance data
- Carry out legal or social-compliance audits
- Enforce contracts. Hold and stop decisions stay with you.
- Install hardware unless both you and the factory agree

Start with one order
A paid pilot: one buyer, one factory, one order, from fabric booking to container loading. Success is agreed in writing before it starts: you are warned of a slip at least two weeks before the vessel cut-off, with options to choose from.
ORBIT's fee never depends on the factory's result. No commission on orders, no paid way to remove a warning.
