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.

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.
Workshop Barcelona, production so far
Core training leggings, NC-2026-017
Built over two years inside a live rework operation for a multi-country European sporting goods retailer.
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.
Batch record
one per failed batch
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.
Decide
Score each blocked batch on cost, repairability and regulation, and decide its route.
Decide
Send it to disposal, donation or recycling, or pick a rework partner on their track record.
Source
Send one structured request to several workshops and compare price, capacity and lead time side by side.
Source
Award the batch. Onboarding, documents and the chain-of-custody log start automatically.
Run
Partners log every unit from a phone, with photos, as the work happens.
Prove
The data from the work fills the five Article 24 disclosure fields. No second system.
Prove
Each finished batch updates the partner's score on quality, on-time delivery and responsiveness.
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.

Example briefing
Awarded work, carrying cost, partner and transport, on the batch record whichever route it took.
Prepare for reuse, donate, recycle, recover or dispose from the same place, with the partner's confirmation on each unit.
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.

How the three ways brands run non-conformity today compare on the questions a quality director actually asks.
| Question | Spreadsheets and email | Generic enterprise QMS | Flexireo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to deploy | Already in place | 6 to 12 months | 1 week |
| ESPR Article 24 documentation | Manual, end-of-year scramble | Add-on module, not apparel-tuned | Generated as you operate (all partners) |
| Partner coordination | Phone, WhatsApp, email threads | Internal-user focused; external UX is an afterthought | Mobile-first, role-based for every partner type |
| Rework sourcing and RFQ | Ad-hoc emails and phone calls | Not built for external rework workshops | Structured RFQs, side-by-side bids, vendor scorecards |
| Unit-level traceability | Batch-level at best | Optimized for industrial parts, not soft goods | Unit-level for apparel and footwear from day one |
| Pricing transparency | Free, expensive in hidden labor | Quote on request; six-figure starting points | Predictable, see details |

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
