Introducing HCT Assist: You Sell It. We’ll Handle the Rest.
Growing an apparel business doesn’t always mean adding another press, hiring another person, or finding more room on the production floor.
Sometimes, you simply need help getting a project across the finish line.
That’s why we created HCT Assist, a new way for HCT customers to access additional decoration, finishing, and fulfillment support when a project extends beyond what they can comfortably handle in-house.
You Keep the Customer. We Help With the Capacity.
HCT Assist isn’t designed to replace the work you already do well. It gives you another option when you land an opportunity that exceeds your available time, labor, equipment, or fulfillment capacity.
You stay in control of the customer relationship and the program. HCT works behind the scenes as an extension of your operation.
Instead of turning away a valuable opportunity or stretching your team too thin, you can say yes with a production partner ready to help.
When Does HCT Assist Make Sense?
| Situation | Where HCT Assist Steps In |
|---|---|
| Peak-season overflow | A large order arrives during an already packed production week. HCT can provide additional application and finishing capacity without requiring you to purchase equipment or hire temporary labor. |
| Large, one-time opportunities | You land a project that is larger or more complex than your usual work. HCT Assist can help you execute it without permanently expanding your operation. |
| Finishing-heavy programs | The decoration is only part of the job. Your customer also needs hundreds of garments folded, individually bagged, size labeled, sorted, or packed according to specific requirements. |
| Recurring apparel programs | A school, business, organization, or team needs apparel produced on a repeating schedule. HCT can help create a more consistent and repeatable process. |
| Projects requiring distribution | The finished garments need to be packed and shipped instead of returned to your production floor. Approved programs may also qualify for multi-destination distribution. |
| Web store programs | Your customer needs a convenient way to collect orders before production begins. Web store service is available for approved HCT Assist programs. |
Picture This
A customer approaches you with a 600-piece apparel order during one of your busiest production weeks. The program includes multiple garment styles, front and back decoration, individual bagging, and a firm delivery date.
You manage the customer and secure the sale. HCT Assist helps coordinate the garments, apply the transfers, complete the finishing work, and prepare the order for delivery.
You keep the opportunity without disrupting everything already on your production schedule.
Choose the Support Your Project Needs
HCT Assist can help coordinate the steps between an approved order and finished apparel:
| Support Area | Available Services |
|---|---|
| Garments | Garment sourcing and coordination |
| Decoration | Professional screen print and digital transfer application |
| Finishing | Folding and individual bagging. Size labeling and sorting. |
| Fulfillment | Packing and shipping |
| Web stores | Web store support for approved programs |
HCT can source the garments for your program, or you can arrange to have approved garments shipped directly to our facility.
Every program is reviewed individually to confirm its scope, pricing, production schedule, and available capacity.
Take On More Without Taking On More Overhead
HCT Assist gives you a way to pursue opportunities that might otherwise be difficult to execute with your current resources.
No additional press. No additional production space. No permanent increase in overhead.
Just experienced support when the right opportunity comes along.
You sell it. We’ll handle the rest.
