Fashion companies need to get off the new-products treadmill, and create an ecosystem of services that lets consumers participate in sustainability

Today’s shoppers are increasingly concerned with the ethical creation of their clothing. Beyond compliance to codes of conduct, they will want to see active efforts to preserve resources, eliminate waste, and drive sustainability in fashion. Learn more.

As fashion organizations grow to introduce new products or clothing lines, acquire other companies, shift priorities, and change channels to market, key stakeholders can be left out of the conversation. A networked approach to running your company can solve these problems.

Chances are your brand already relies on an ERP solution to house foundational functions and master data. But can it withstand the rapid developmental, transactional, and digitized industry of the future?
