Frontier is currently one of the largest databases of searchable online fabrics in the world, containing more than 18000+ fabrics. It is growing at 1,000 items per month, with expected exponential growth with every brand and suppliers joining the digital community. 

Business of every size – from individual designers to global brands – use our network platform to search, organize, and communicate on daily basis. Our mission is to create an online eco-system for the textile industry.

Designers and developers at a brand or retailer can use the platform to image search, find similar items via AI or search by description, blend, color, pantone and other specs.

With textile industry digitizing, more players coming in. Frontier sees it as a unique opportunity. Frontier offers the fastest way to move supplier's items online and to provide the basic material data in this industry so other applications can be built on such as 3D design tools. It creates a digital cycle connecting suppliers and brands on cloud which greatly reduces inefficiency for garment development.
