Every failed batch, accounted for.

Flexireo runs non-conforming stock from the blocked SKU to the final decision: rework at your external workshops, reuse, donation, recycling or disposal. Every unit is tracked, every partner is scored, and the ESPR audit trail builds itself as you work.

For apparel and footwear brands. Live in one week.

Today a failed batch lives in five places.

The price sits in an email thread, the status in a WhatsApp group, the transport in a delivery note and the disposal receipt in someone's drive. When the ESPR disclosure falls due, someone has to stitch it back together, unit by unit. Flexireo keeps all of it on one batch record from the moment the stock is blocked.

Seven stages, one record.

A failed batch is a sequence of decisions and handoffs. Flexireo carries it from the distribution hub to a documented outcome, and every step hands the next one the data it needs.

  1. 1

    Decide

    Triage

    Score each blocked batch on cost, repairability and regulation, and decide its route.

  2. 2

    Decide

    Route

    Send it to disposal, donation or recycling, or pick a rework partner on their track record.

  3. 3

    Source

    Request bids

    Send one structured request to several workshops and compare price, capacity and lead time side by side.

  4. 4

    Source

    Award

    Award the batch. Onboarding, documents and the chain-of-custody log start automatically.

  5. 5

    Run

    Track every unit

    Partners log every unit from a phone, with photos, as the work happens.

  6. 6

    Prove

    Disclose

    The data from the work fills the five Article 24 disclosure fields. No second system.

  7. 7

    Prove

    Score the partner

    Each finished batch updates the partner's score on quality, on-time delivery and responsiveness.

Built for the people who touch the batch.

Workshops report from the floor

Your rework partners open the batch on a phone and log every unit as OK, Not OK, Second life, Damaged or Missing, with photos. No calls to chase, no spreadsheets to merge.

Every route, not only rework

Prepare for reuse, donate, recycle, recover or dispose from the same place, with the partner's confirmation on each unit.

ESPR paperwork as a by-product of the work.

Every partner, from rework workshop to recycler, logs its work in Flexireo. That is the data Article 24 asks for, so the disclosure is ready when the work is done, not rebuilt at year end.

Questions we get asked

Something not covered here? Ask us directly.

Who is Flexireo built for?

Quality directors, managers, and sustainability leads at apparel and footwear brands. If your team coordinates non-conformity across external workshops and needs unit-level traceability for ESPR, Flexireo was built for your workflow.

What does Flexireo replace?

The combination of spreadsheets, email threads, WhatsApp groups and shared drives that most brands use today. Flexireo replaces that stack with one record per batch and unit-level traceability.

Can I use Flexireo just for rework management?

Yes. Many teams start with the rework workflow alone (sourcing workshops, sending RFQs, comparing bids, tracking units and scoring vendors) and add the wider non-conformity routes and ESPR reporting later. Pricing reflects whether you use Flexireo for rework only or for the full ESPR flow.

How long does implementation take?

One week. We ran the first project through Flexireo for a multi-country European sporting goods retailer seven days after decision. Your team can start a low-risk pilot project on a single batch to prove value first.

Does Flexireo help with ESPR compliance?

Yes. Every route (rework, donation or disposal) is tracked. This data maps directly to the five mandated ESPR fields, so the audit trail is a by-product of your operations.

Does Flexireo cover customer returns as well as unsold stock?

Yes. Under the ESPR, the term "unsold consumer product" covers surplus stock and deadstock, and also customer returns made under the right of withdrawal; both flow into the same Article 24 disclosure and Article 25 destruction-ban obligations. Flexireo tracks every batch from intake forward whether it originated as overstock or as a return, so returns that are reworked, resold, donated, recycled, or discarded all stay in one audit trail.

Can my subcontractors and external partners use it?

Yes. Every partner, from disposal plants to rework workshops, uses a mobile-first interface to log evidence and status. External partners prefer it because it ends the chasing by phone and the merging of spreadsheets.

Can Flexireo tell us what a failed batch cost us?

Yes, on any disposition route. Flexireo records the price awarded for the work, a daily carrying cost you set that applies for as long as the batch stays open, the transport out and back, and what each partner has cost you across their batches, whether the batch was routed to rework, reuse, donation, recycling or disposal. They roll up into one total per batch, broken down by category, so the answer comes from the operational record rather than from a reconstruction after the batch has closed.

What does it cost?

Pricing is predictable and depends on whether you use Flexireo only for rework projects or for the whole ESPR flow. See the three tiers and pilot pricing on our pricing page.

How does Flexireo compare to enterprise QMS?

Generic systems are built for broad manufacturing. Flexireo is a specialized QMS built for the specific operational workflows of apparel rework and the unique reporting requirements of ESPR Article 24.

Does Flexireo replace our PLM or ERP?

No. Flexireo handles the operational last mile of non-conformity and disposition that PLM and ERP systems were not designed to manage. We can integrate with your systems through webhooks and exports.

What languages does Flexireo support?

English, French, Spanish, and Swedish are currently available, with German and Italian in the pipeline. Workshop-facing screens are translated first because that is where adoption friction matters most.
