Taper enables it’s customers to add new revenue streams, without holding any stock & allows retailers to transition towards a far more environmentally sustainable business model of made-to-order products while growing their business. Who we are We have built and scaled one of the World’s largest MTM businesses (InStitchu), the lessons we learned and the tech we built internally was the secret to our success, so we’ve made it our mission to streamline the world of MTM for everyone. We're a distributed team, split across Australia, India and New Zealand. The people on your team may not be co-located with you — because of this we value people who are self-motivated and comfortable working in an asynchronous and distributed team. What we do Taper is a multi-tenant platform which is integrated into manufacturers and serves enterprise level clients whom each have between 10 - 100 stores and hundreds of employees. We’re up and running with some internationally renowned retailers and we have an exciting roadmap ahead, including broadening our manufacturing offering, increasing our feature set to allow for more product lines & slicker management, and building out embedded e-commerce functionality.
