33%

Only 33% of footwear companies rate their ERPs as “excellent” at handling item variants

29%

Only 29% of footwear companies rate their ERPs as “excellent” at manufacturing

71%

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

Does that sound familiar?

Footwear might be quite different from other fashion types, but you still have to create shoes in different styles, colours, and fits. That’s hundreds, if not thousands, of SKUs! But few ERPs actually help you create and manage them…

Let alone supporting manufacturing

Hell, most ERPs don’t even let you create a Bill of Materials per item variant! How are you meant to create footwear efficiently without help for basic things?

It shouldn’t be surprising though…

The sad reality is that most ERPs fail to capture the nuance of footwear. In fact, more than two-thirds of fashion companies use external tools to fill gaps in their core system.

Of course, there’s sustainability too

If the challenges you face with creating footwear wasn’t enough, you also have to deal with increasing pressure from consumers and governments to “do better”

Lace up for success

The above challenges demand tailored solutions to the footwear industry.

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

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