Technology can help in all industries. Case in point: fashion repair. With the circular economy top of mind in recent years and an uptick ahead, the global resale market is expected to almost double to $350 billion by 2028.
Enter Coblrshop, a female-founded tech startup looking to minimize the environmental impact of the fashion industry. COBLR is a SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution designed specifically for the management of repair business.
Here is how this can help in fashion repair:
- Move away from manual processes and streamline operations.
- Automate customer updates, completion estimates, and targeted marketing capabilities.
- Assistance from AI (artificial intelligence) for repair diagnostics, which reduces time to create custom repair quotes.
With nearly 50% of fashion resale goods requiring repair, according to Coblrshop, combined with pressure from policy, and a shift in consumer behavior prioritizing sustainability and buying used, there is a seismic increase in the demand for repair. The bottomline is we are moving to a more circular world, and technology can help.
