After long years of work in the textile sector, we discovered that by connecting, we can generate collective value and thus build better and more prosperous communities. This is how Hub-Sew was born, a platform created for the textile sector that connects sewing professionals with companies and promotes products and services in the sector.
Brazil is the 5th largest textile industry in the world and the 4th in the clothing segment, (FIEG/2018).
In Brazil there are about 25,200 formal companies dedicated to the segment, it is the 2nd largest employer in the country, second only to food and beverages (together).
The textile and clothing sector concentrates 8 million workers in Brazil, mostly women seamstresses (75%) who make up the most expressive working class in fashion (ABIT 05/22/2021). But that number could double if we take into account the informal workers who work in the sector.
Inspired by social entrepreneurship, we aim to eliminate barriers to generate more profitability and quality of life for all involved.
We know that finding qualified labor is a great challenge for brands and having a satisfactory monthly income is the desire of all sewing professionals.
With our app, we want to change that, unifying the market in one place, putting brands and professionals in touch in a simple and efficient way, eliminating production gaps.
Our purpose is to promote the textile sector by speeding up time, generating equal business opportunities, reducing costs, facilitating the flow of information within the sector, reducing labor impasses and promoting fair income generation for clothing professionals with the possibility of prior negotiation, avoiding the migration of these professionals to other sectors. Thus, we create a virtuous cycle where everyone involved benefits.
Here at Hub-Sew, brands will be able to expand their business according to their expectations and professionals will have access to more job opportunities within their specialty, they will be able to keep their factory structure always in production, they will find the opportunity to generate income without having to leave home and they will be able to have their ad highlighted whenever they are idle by using the SOS Button.
This space also embraces suppliers of raw materials, equipment, services and other interested companies, with efficient advertising spaces for a fully segmented public.
