Get Integrated, Automated Solutions Designed for an Optimized Fashion Supply Chain 

Fashion wholesalers play a key role by connecting niche apparel brands to some of the biggest global retailers. However, balancing a supply chain with so many moving parts comes with plenty of challenges. In addition to managing huge scores of suppliers, fashion wholesalers and distributors also need to communicate with their DCs and 3PL partners and meet stringent retailer mandates. If that’s not enough, wholesalers also need to optimize a large, product-diverse inventory that is almost constantly changing with the seasons and consumer desires. 

Despite the high speed of the fashion market, many wholesalers still rely on disconnected systems to manage their supply chains, using data entry to move order data. In addition to huge overhead costs, these manual processes slow down order processing; at the same time, human error leads to costly typos. As a result, fashion wholesale supply chains end up with bottlenecks, capacity issues, increased returns and chargebacks, and disappointed customers.
