Fashion your future with tailored ERPs

There’s an ironic secret within the world of fashion. The industry is all about the new – more seasons, more styles, more reasons to shop until you drop. Yet, so many companies are still stuck using old, clunky solutions…

Ultimately, this modern approach to wholesale – treating it with the same care and attention to detail as retail – has not only streamlined our operations but positively impacted our bottom line.

Every company will claim they’re dedicated to your success, but the personalized relationship fostered by Microsoft, through programs like FastTrack, along with K3’s industry expertise and software, set them apart from the competition.

31%

Only 31% of fashion and retail decision makers rate their ERP as “excellent” with colour, size, and fit handling

29%

Only 29% of fashion and retail decision makers rate their ERP as “excellent” with season management

71%

71% of fashion and retail companies rely on third-party add-ons to supplement gaps in their ERPs

Does that sound familiar?

Out with the old and in with the new might be fashion’s mantra, but that’s a lot easier said that done. With every collection comes hundreds, if not thousands, of SKUs but so few ERPs support companies in handling this volume.

Are you really surprised?

Most ERPs don’t even really help fashion companies with season management all that much, so how are they meant to support creating products in different styles, colours, and sizes?

It gets worse…

ERPs fail at such a fundamental level that more two-thirds of fashion companies have to adopt third-party tools to fill gaps in their core system.

And then there’s sustainability.

If dealing with clunky systems wasn’t enough, you also have to deal with mounting pressure from consumers and governments to do better.

Why you need to go tailored

The brutal truth is that most fashion ERP providers don’t really understand what makes the industry at large tick.

Our 30+ years’ of fashion know-how is weaved into the fabric of our solutions to remove any would-be blockers.
