How we work
01 Discovery
We define goals, audience, quantities, timing and the decisions that shape the right production path.
02 Concept & Design
Ideas become a product direction—artwork, color, product selection and details aligned with the end use.
03 Product Development
For custom programs, specifications, materials, construction details, labels and artwork placement are organized for production.
04 Sourcing
We match products and production partners to the brief, balancing materials, quality, lead times, minimums and cost.
05 Sampling
Samples let the team review fit, materials, color and decoration before production commitments are made.
06 Approval
We capture sign-off on the product, production specifications and schedule so every partner is working from the same brief.
07 Manufacturing
Production begins with the agreed materials, construction, decoration and timeline actively coordinated by Stride.
08 Quality Control
Checks are coordinated around the approved requirements so products are ready for shipment, storage or direct distribution.
09 Freight & Logistics
Freight and delivery plans are coordinated to fit the launch, event, storage or distribution plan—not treated as an afterthought.
10 Warehousing
When inventory needs to be held, Stride can organize product for later releases, employee programs and recurring orders.
11 Fulfillment
Kitting, pick and pack, employee shipments, event distribution and direct-to-consumer fulfillment keep the program moving after production.
