Softgoods/Apparel

Increase inventory turns. Improve customer service.

Business Issues: Consumer GoodsA style-driven consumer base makes competing in the
softgoods and apparel industry a sizable endeavor. Changing fashion condenses product life cycles – and for you, missing a season is simply not an option. Lead times are extended by global sourcing and importing. To ensure timely availability, manufacturers must accurately forecast SKU variables earlier
in the cycle. Larger retailers are also demanding higher levels
of vendor support. For many companies, continuous replenishment and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) can be a price of entry. Among other trends? Customized assortments, floor-ready merchandise requirements and aggressive promotion schedules.

Logility Voyager Solutions™ gives you the ability to create accurate forecasts early in the planning cycle so you can shorten lead times and reduce inventory risk. With greater supply chain visibility, you can better synchronize global resources to streamline sourcing, manufacturing and logistics processes. Continuous business monitoring and exception-based alerts keep plans on schedule so you can lower inventory carrying costs. Improved inventory management helps you raise customer service levels as you decrease inventory investments. Logility optimizes both warehouse and transportation operations to decrease distribution costs and increase perfect orders.
