Fashion Overview
We remember a time not so long ago when manufacturing lead times on garments, footwear and accessories were often 120 days or more. These days, more styles, smaller orders, increased product complexity and much shorter lead times are just normal, everyday challenges.
Rising raw material and labour costs, penalties for late delivery and pressure from retailers to supply at incredibly competitive prices; manufacturers are feeling the squeeze like never before. The reality is it's not going to improve any time soon.
For most, the margin of error is so tight that instant visibility, rapid "what if" planning to support decision making and fast access to accurate information are absolutely critical to remain successful with a competitive edge.
Existing manual systems are ineffective in this environment and the lack of a good alternative often leads to excess "fire-fighting" to fix problems and as a result, a rise in manufacturing costs.
With evolve, there is another way.
