Winning by working smarter in today’s competitive fashion industry

Thanks to the rise of e-commerce and fast fashion, fashion production cycles are much shorter nowadays. But it’s not just about working faster, it’s about working smarter. Working smart means meeting deadlines, and deadlines aren’t moving targets. They are fixed measures at each point of the value chain – from design and collection planning, to production, distribution and planograms, to the sales floor and finally to the screen.  Today’s merchandisers have to work smarter to ensure that they don’t slow down the production process, and deliver collections that constantly appeal to their target consumers. To achieve this, they need to make better-informed decisions regarding their upcoming collections, collaborate better with other teams and communicate more effectively with their suppliers.
