Develop, produce and sell shoes digitally from one source.
CPA SoftwareConsult provides innovative enterprise solutions for the fashion industry, enabling you to achieve strategic and operational goals in digital transformation.
The combination of product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) constitutes the basis of all shoe and material related activities. This spans from planning collections via purchasing to samples. It also covers sales to production planning via full logistics support to the finished packaged shoe at the retailer. In this way, cpa.ShoeFactory facilitates digital transformation of your brands both in the wholesale sector and the fashion industry.
Why is an industry-oriented solution crucial for business success?
Seasonal cycles in the fashion world are becoming shorter and shorter. From the prototype to the finished product, shoes have to be developed, produced and distributed within ever shorter time frames, not only across different workplaces, but also in diverse parts of the world and different time zones. So as to manage a product launch in the time available, a software solution with a common database is required that integrates all your business processes.
Whereas other ERP systems assign a separate item to each of a model’s sizes, cpa.ShoeFactory is able to combine all dimensions, size ranges and variations of a product under one item. This ensures an optimal product display throughout all processes and saves valuable time in data maintenance and data exchange with your business associates. cpa.ShoeFactory is familiar with the industry’s particular specialities!
Seasonal fluctuations in demand for materials and finished goods create major challenges throughout the supply chain. cpa.ShoeFactory offers you scalable management of all material flows, from fixed assortments to individual pairs.
The fashion industry’s language is unique. What for example do ‘assortment operation’, ‘area management’ or ‘cutter’s premium’ mean? A successful approach to communication requires experts with years of experience from and for the industry.
CPA’s PLM and ERP solutions have been specifically tailored to the needs of the fashion industry following years of close collaboration with our clients. Inspired by client experience, our solutions empower users in their daily tasks to drive innovation, shorten time-to-market and achieve business goals.
This is how cpa.ShoeFactory can support you
As every item of information is stored in a central database across all modules, you can find all product and process-related data in one easy-to-use tool.
All employees work in cooperation at different locations using one platform and therefore always have an up-to-the-moment view of the jointly used data. Using cpa.ShoeFactory, you obtain everything from a single source so there is no need for an external PLM, separate EDC, external warehouse management system nor an additional CRM.
All business processes can be customised to the single users’ specific requirements. Integrated workflow management not only improves communication within the company, but significantly increases your employee satisfaction and also that of your customers.
Automating your processes means fewer errors, as well as time saving when it comes to achieving your business objectives.
