Case Study: The SS/FW achieves seamless global collaboration with Quip

How a fashion startup uses Quip

The SS/FW is an online fashion, arts, and lifestyle publication with a small, distributed team across San Francisco, New York, and Paris (with plans to expand). Their challenge was staying connected and coordinating planning, editorials, meetings, and contacts across continents after finding email and other tools either unwieldy or too costly, so they adopted Quip as their collaborative document and communication platform.

Quip provided folders, real-time collaborative documents, integrated chat, and mobile apps that The SS/FW uses for planning interviews, weekly to‑do lists, staff contacts, how‑tos, and meeting notes. As a result, Quip has made cross‑team collaboration faster and more transparent—emails are now secondary, documents are edited in real time, and mobile alerts keep everyone “in the same office” despite being thousands of miles apart.
