MaiaMetrics services

Services for textile suppliers and buyers

MaiaMetrics helps performance-fabric suppliers present their materials more clearly to the European market, while giving buyers an easier way to discover, evaluate and request well-documented materials.

For suppliers

Services for suppliers

We help textile mills and suppliers organise their product information, understand European market requirements and present their materials more effectively to sourcing and product-development teams.

01

Data structuring

We convert technical documents, product catalogues and supplier information into clear and consistent digital material profiles.

Each profile can include:

  • material composition
  • fabric construction
  • weight and width
  • recycled content
  • technical performance
  • finishes and treatments
  • certifications
  • minimum order quantities
  • lead times
  • country of manufacture
  • sample availability
02

European market consulting

We help suppliers understand how European buyers evaluate materials and what information they normally expect during the sourcing process.

Guidance may include:

  • product positioning
  • buyer requirements
  • technical documentation
  • sustainability information
  • commercial presentation
  • market-entry preparation
03

Compliance and EU regulation support

We help suppliers identify and organise the information that may be relevant to European regulatory and customer requirements.

Support may relate to:

  • REACH
  • the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation
  • Digital Product Passport preparation
  • sustainability and environmental claims
  • recycled-content documentation
  • product traceability
  • applicable certifications and test reports

MaiaMetrics provides business and information-structuring support. Unless expressly agreed otherwise, this service does not constitute legal advice, certification or a guarantee of regulatory compliance.

04

Transparency and documentation

We help suppliers present supporting documents and product information in a more transparent and accessible format.

Material profiles may distinguish between:

  • supplier-declared information
  • supporting documentation provided
  • certifications available
  • test reports available
  • information pending review
  • independently verified information
05

Sample logistics

Suppliers can store selected fabric samples at the MaiaMetrics sample hub in Milan.

MaiaMetrics can support:

  • sample reception
  • organisation and identification
  • storage
  • picking and packing
  • consolidated shipments
  • dispatch to European buyers
  • tracking and delivery coordination

The objective is to reduce the time and cost required to send individual samples from international production locations to European buyers.

For buyers

Services for buyers

Buyers can use MaiaMetrics to discover performance fabrics and technical textiles, compare structured information and request samples from selected suppliers.

01

Material discovery

Buyers can discover materials based on relevant technical, commercial and sustainability characteristics.

Materials may be searchable by:

  • intended application
  • material composition
  • performance characteristics
  • recycled content
  • certification
  • supplier location
  • minimum order quantity
  • lead time
  • sample availability
02

Structured material information

MaiaMetrics presents supplier information using a consistent format, making it easier to compare different materials and suppliers.

Profiles may include:

  • technical specifications
  • composition
  • performance data
  • finishes
  • certifications
  • manufacturing origin
  • commercial information
  • available supporting documentation
03

Transparency and preliminary evaluation

MaiaMetrics helps buyers understand what information and documentation are available before contacting a supplier.

Documentation status is shown on every profile:

  • declared by the supplier
  • supported by documentation
  • reviewed by MaiaMetrics
  • independently tested
  • still awaiting confirmation
04

Compliance-related information

Buyers can review available regulatory, technical and sustainability information as part of their preliminary material evaluation.

Buyers remain responsible for carrying out their own technical, commercial and regulatory due diligence before purchasing or using a material.

05

Sample requests and delivery

Buyers can request available samples directly through MaiaMetrics. Where samples are already stored at the Milan hub, MaiaMetrics can provide faster European dispatch and combine samples from different suppliers into a single shipment.

Access to the material-discovery platform is free for professional buyers during the pilot stage.
