The apparel retail industry is growing at a faster pace than ever. Fashion retailers need to go digital with their supply chain in order to thrive in the coming years. The fashion value chain consists of different departments like product development, sourcing of raw materials, quality, compliance etc. in the fashion business. It is very critical to monitor all these departments manually from designing concepts till the product reaches to shelf. Fashion brands & retailers need to create a digital ecosystem that can provide all the stakeholders the ability to link different systems, processes, data and departments into a unified end-to-end network.
BlueKaktus offers a Concept to Shelf module under its Sourcing platform that helps in tracking metrics at every possible level. It helps in setting up multi-departmental CTS (Concept to shelf) workflow calendars. These calendars can be configured on the basis of seasons, drops, months etc. By using the CTS module, the data from different departments can be linked in real-time. It gives notifications and alerts in case of areas that need immediate attention. It helps in formulating a more collaborative network that can help sourcing companies in creating a more resilient and innovative supply chain. The main features of BlueKaktus’ CTS module are:
