This article will give you a comprehensive understanding of Deran’s strengths, processes and advantages.

Who is Deran: High standard factory focusing on OEM & ODM slipper manufacturing

Analysis of Deran’s OEM & ODM service advantages

OEM means that the customer provides the design and the manufacturer is responsible for production. ODM, on the other hand, means that the manufacturer provides the design together. Deran has very strong execution capabilities in both directions, especially in ODM, where it has accumulated a lot of practical experience.

R&D and design capabilities are one of Deran’s core competitiveness. The company has an independent product design center equipped with CAD drafting engineers, sample plate makers, and structural process analysts, which can quickly generate 3D models and material matching solutions based on the concept drawings, reference samples or market trend drawings provided by customers.

Rapid proofing and small-batch trial production are important advantages that distinguish Deran from large traditional factories. For e-commerce customers and customized brands, Deran has a minimum order quantity of as low as 300 pairs, and provides 7-10 working days of proofing services, which greatly shortens the customer’s cycle from idea to product launch.

Full-process visual management is a thoughtful service created by Deran to improve the cooperation experience. Each customer will be connected by a professional project manager. From confirming needs, proofing feedback, production progress to shipping arrangements, the ERP system can track progress in real time and accept remote file and drawing transmission.

In addition, Deran also provides overall solution support from product structure, shoe style, material technology to packaging design, truly helping customers build a product system with commercial competitiveness.
