HOW TO WORK WITH EQWPE
Eqwpe Clothing Factory offers four flexible clothing and uniform solutions for schools, businesses, organisations, parents, and individual customers. Whether you need a fully managed online school uniform shop, scheduled bulk supply, ready-to-wear essentials, or custom-manufactured clothing, we have a solution for you.
1. Direct-to-Parent School Partnership (DPSP)
Stock Supported Online Shop
Under the Direct-to-Parent School Partnership, Eqwpe becomes the school’s official uniform manufacturer and retail partner.
We create a dedicated shop for the school on the Eqwpe website, where parents can view and purchase approved uniform items directly. Eqwpe manages the design, manufacturing, inventory, online payments, customer support, order fulfilment, and delivery.
The school does not purchase or hold inventory. Its role is to approve the uniform range, promote the online shop to parents, and provide the necessary branding information. The school earns an agreed commission on every uniform item sold.

2. Scheduled School Bulk Supply (SSBS)
School-Owned Stock and Parent Sales
The Scheduled School Bulk Supply model is designed for schools that want to purchase, own, and sell their uniform stock directly to parents.
Eqwpe manufactures uniforms through three scheduled production cycles each year. Before each cycle, the school submits its stock forecast and required quantities. Eqwpe manufactures the approved order during the scheduled production period and delivers it before the next major school term.
After delivery, Eqwpe issues an invoice and ownership of the stock transfers to the school. The school holds the inventory, sells the uniforms directly to parents, and collects all payments.
