ZARA能在成衣市場揚眉吐氣，掌握快速、少量、多款的優勢，其垂直整合製造能力功不可沒。 時裝業者普遍將製造外包給第三世界的工廠，雖有成本低的優點，也有速度慢的缺點。ZARA為了快速汰換商品，打造出迅速應變的供應鏈，80%的生產在歐洲進行，將近50%的生產由自有工廠或控股工廠包辦，這些工廠都鄰近ZARA西班牙總部。在設計款式通過後，一發出生產指令，工廠便能立刻裁剪布料。 為了節省生產時間，ZARA使用高度自動化的剪裁設備，裁剪好的布料被運送到鄰近的小工廠進行縫製，這些合作工廠幾乎都位在ZARA總部所在的加利西亞省或葡萄牙北部，約有350家供應商分別執行不同但簡單的生產指令，使成衣能快速地縫製完成，並且快速地運送到ZARA的成衣和包裝部門。 與顧客同步 領先時尚潮流 對於其他公司而言，需要數個月的工作流程，ZARA在一周內便能完成，此種垂直整合模式，讓ZARA能夠快速且少量進行生產。 通常ZARA需15至30天就能讓新品上架，因此能夠以全價或較少折扣賣出更多的衣服，保留利潤空間。傳統模式運作的服裝零售商，從製造到上架的周期，長達四到12個月，因此大多數零售商只能預測未來的流行趨勢及銷售量，ZARA卻能與顧客同步，快速抓住當下時尚潮流。
