Our Process

Engaging a new supplier can feel overwhelming, but at WKW, we're here to alleviate that stress.

Our commitment to transparency is exemplified through our exclusive dashboard, 'Open Shop,' which has the ability to give you real-time visibility into the status of your jobs.

Take a look at an example of our job process:

Once you place your order, our ‘Open Shop’ system kicks in immediately, keeping us and you informed every step of the way. If the required raw materials aren't stocked in our inventory, our reliable suppliers promptly deliver them, ensuring all material certifications and traceability standards are meticulously met.
