Softgoods/Apparel
Reduce inventory risk. Improve customer service.
A style-driven consumer base makes competing in the softgoods and apparel industry a sizable endeavor. Changing styles are condensing product life cycle and accelerating seasons. Fashion companies are planning as many as six to ten seasons a year. Lead times are being extended by remote sourcing and production. To ensure timely availability, brand owners must accurately forecast selections earlier in the cycle. Larger retailers are also demanding higher levels of vendor support. Continuous replenishment and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) can be a price of entry for many companies. Among other trends? Customized assortments, floor-ready merchandise requirements and aggressive promotion schedules.
