The fashion and apparel sector has faced significant disruptions in supply chain management in recent years. From unexpected delays to inventory mismanagement, these challenges have affected every stakeholder involved—brands, suppliers, distributors, and retailers. The ever-evolving market demands and the need for real-time responsiveness have highlighted the gaps in traditional supply chain management systems. However, our end-to-end integrated retail operations management platform (i-ROMP) offers a solution to these challenges by seamlessly connecting all operations and stakeholders.

The Challenges

1. Fragmented Communication: Brands, suppliers, distributors, and retailers often operate in silos, leading to miscommunication and delays. The lack of a unified communication channel has resulted in errors and inefficiencies.
2. Inventory Mismanagement: Without a real-time view of inventory levels across the supply chain, brands and retailers have struggled to maintain optimal stock levels, leading to overstocking or stockouts.
3. Demand Forecasting Issues: Inaccurate demand forecasting can result in either excess inventory or insufficient stock, both of which has seen to negatively impact sales and profitability.
4. Logistics and Transportation Delays: Uncoordinated logistics and transportation plans can and has caused delays in product delivery, affecting the entire supply chain and customer satisfaction.
5. Data Silos and Inconsistencies: Data stored in disparate systems have lead to inconsistencies and a lacunae of actionable insights, making it difficult to make informed decisions.
