Circular fashion brand scaling social commerce and ERP modernization
FREITAG manufactures bags and accessories from recycled and circular materials, with every product handcrafted as a one-off. The tech stack reveals a direct-to-consumer motion: heavy social-media instrumentation (Meta, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Brandwatch) paired with Google Analytics and Figma for design iteration. Active projects center on social-commerce integration and a multi-phase ERP replacement—replacing a legacy system with modern architecture—while pain points cluster around data integrity and business-critical availability during migration. Hiring velocity is accelerating across senior roles in marketing, data, and engineering, suggesting scaled growth beyond the artisanal production model.

FREITAG is a Swiss fashion manufacturer founded in 1993, originally known for messenger bags made from discarded truck tarps. The company now produces approximately 60 product models in bags and accessories, all crafted from used or circular materials with repair and exchange services to extend product lifespan. The brand operates a direct-to-consumer sales model with emphasis on social and digital channels. At 51–200 employees, FREITAG is navigating simultaneous challenges: driving growth and community engagement on social platforms while executing a major ERP system migration away from legacy infrastructure. The company maintains production in Switzerland and is actively hiring in Switzerland and Japan.
FREITAG runs Meta Business Suite, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube for social distribution, paired with Google Analytics and Brandwatch for monitoring. Design work flows through Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud.
Core projects include social-commerce integration, API monitoring, and a multi-phase ERP modernization (design modern architecture, develop roadmap, manage releases, end-to-end implementation). Supply-chain KPI tracking is also underway.
