So your software vendor says that they can do fashion. You better make sure that the software features go far beyond styles, colors, and sizes. The requirements for the fashion industry are some of the most demanding and unforgiving in the world of manufacturing. If you're not careful, you may find your profits falling on the cutting floor and money being swept out with the scraps. Read on to find out why running with a pair of scissors is not the only dangerous thing when selecting software for the fashion industry and why Intentia's offering bears investigation. And even if you're not into fashion, learn what hurdles another industry has to jump to remain competitive. You may feel fortunate to be in the industry you are.

We are surrounded by fashion. In fact we come into contact with it so often that we tend to take it for granted. However, if you are in the business of fashion, you know that people's tastes are extremely fickle and ever changing. Your enterprise-wide software has to be nimble enough to turn on a dime. It also must be able to anticipate more often than to simply react.

This research note explores industry characteristics and trends and resulting software challenges. After getting an understanding of the fashion marketplace and competition, we will look at Intentia's Movex software offering. Movex's functions and features that will allow you to cut, sew, and package your products efficiently before they are out of fashion.

And, while you may not be into haute couture or consider yourself a fashion plate, you may find how the fashion world solves problems similar to those found in your industry. For sure, you will have a better appreciation of what it takes to put that shirt or skirt on the shelves and not so quick to say it costs too much.
