Whether you deal with Apparel, Footwear or accessories, the need to handle the make to order and the make to stock item drives many processes. Any business that is bound by a Style/Color/Size matrix is complex. Although fashion may be glamorous, the business of it is anything but.
The competitive Apparel and Footwear business is one in which you can lose a customer over missed ship dates. It has never been more important to have a stable, full featured workhorse of a system in place to support the various requirements of retailers. DAZ Systems, Inc. has developed just such a comprehensive program based on the Oracle E-Business Suite.
DAZ understands the need for horizontal input on orders and purchase orders to handle the Style/Color/Size. In addition, DAZ has built an item generator to allow new season styles with all the component information easily entered. You can manage seasonal spikes including complex pricing algorithms. Planning can be based on a library of buys from previous seasons, and bulk ordering is supported. EDI is supported both inbound and outbound and can be as intelligent as is desired. DAZ offers a very comprehensive program in this industry.
“DAZ managed our initial implementation and staffed it with personnel that really understand the CPG Industry and Oracle Applications. They were also able to provide a High Speed Order Entry (HSOE) interface written by them to help us with our unique apparel order management requirements. This has been fantastic for us in that it reduces our time to place an order by 30% while representing the styles, colors and sizes in a way that is friendly to our industry. The overall implementation and value added extension was very successful and has put Roadrunner Sports in a strong position for future growth.”
