Interweaves: Sharing inventory and connecting businesses
raw material; small entrepreneur; technological solution
Faced with the complexity of the fashion production chain, it is noted that for the small entrepreneur who manufactures fashion products, he faces two challenges, what to do with the raw material left over from the production of a given campaign, since in fashion, the materials are easily classified without market value because they are disconnected with what is considered trends, and on the other hand what strategy to use for the acquisition of textile raw materials, since the raw material industries have wholesale sales policies that are inaccessible to the small entrepreneur. It is within this context that the present study aims to develop a technology that connects entrepreneurs in the fashion sector through the possibility of sharing raw materials available in stock. In this direction, exploratory research was carried out on the subject to contribute to the design of the solution in technological tools for the construction of the prototype. With the scientific-entrepreneurial research in progress, the solution to the problem situation has already been approved in two public notices, the first is an acceleration program and the second in a public notice to promote the fashion sector in the state of Rio Grande do Norte . In addition, the research highlights the potential of the solution within the delimited area.
