Melanin Haircare, the Boston based haircare and apparel company, has recently solidified its multi-year partnership with Suuchi Inc. to expand upon its existing relationship to further digitize its business operations. The growth in the partnership between both companies helps Melanin expand its use of the GRID along with its ongoing production runs utilizing Suuchi’s Global Sourcing Network (GSN).
The GRID provides a robust supply chain operations software platform, while also managing a Global Sourcing Network (GSN) consisting of hundreds of factories, suppliers, mills, and freight companies across Central, and South America. Melanin Haircare uses the three core products of the GRID – PLM, PO, and downstream supply chain management, and GSN to manage aspects of their sourcing and production capabilities, optimizing for the best combination of ethical manufacturing, costs, and lead times. Melanin has produced apparel and accessories through the GSN, relying on Suuchi’s network of factories in Central and South America to optimize its production lifecycles and decrease lead times.
In addition to using the GSN for its production runs, Melanin has expanded its usage of the GRID to manage other aspects of its product development and supply chain operations. Using the GRID’s Product Development and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) modules, Melanin is able to seamlessly store and manage their existing digital assets as well as develop new products on the GRID. Melanin can efficiently create and manage product conception through sampling workflows, either as individual products or product group records, accelerating new product development timelines.
During their time working with the GRID team, Melanin has expanded into new product categories including apparel and through the continued use of the GRID, Melanin team members can manage product lines spanning across multiple categories. This allows Melanin to focus on its business and providing its customers the best possible products.
“The GRID Platform and Global Sourcing Network are increasingly important solutions for Melanin Haircare. The GRID team has helped Melanin Haircare bring creative products to market. We love that we have been able to digitize our product development and sourcing operations, and that we have visibility to track the entire supply chain,” according to Taffeta White, Co-Founder of Melanin Haircare.
“Whitney and Taffeta White are pioneers in the beauty space. It has been a privilege working closely with the co-founders and their team watching their exponential growth over the last few years. Not only are they strong brand builders, but between the two, Whitney and Taffeta are unmatched creatives and operators. The sky is the limit for Melanin, and they are well on their way to becoming a massive brand and household name”, said Suuchi Ramesh, CEO & Founder of Suuchi Inc.
