Project Overview
Streamlining bespoke sneaker production with tech-forward workflows
Garrixon is a boutique footwear manufacturer pushing the boundaries of made-to-order sneakers. As demand for their custom, high-end products surged, they needed a digital solution that could keep pace — one that offered operational visibility, design collaboration, and production clarity all in one place. Halo partnered with Garrixon to design and develop SneakerBuilder: a robust internal platform that tracks every step of the production lifecycle from lead capture to final shipment. Built for flexibility, collaboration, and growth, the platform gives teams the tools they need to manage orders efficiently while delivering a premium client experience.
Project Overview
Turning handcrafted complexity into scalable production clarity
Garrixon’s handcrafted approach to footwear came with a complex, high-touch process — but their systems hadn’t evolved with their scale. They lacked visibility into production timelines, design status, and order progress. Their workflows spanned spreadsheets, email threads, and fragmented tools, making it difficult to forecast, fulfill, and scale reliably. Without a centralized platform, client communication suffered and internal teams struggled to stay in sync.
