Simparel, Inc. released a report that tracks six significant trends of a changing fashion ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software landscape.
The report drills into six areas that Simparel identifies as game-changing for fashion-related businesses, beginning with the unified ERP technology model as the main catalyst for the industry shift.
According to Simparel, responsiveness is a critical competitive advantage in an industry that changes rapidly based on consumer demands and market conditions. The key to that responsiveness is technology. "But rarely does an 'off the rack' technology solution fit all industries," the company observes. The unified technology approach of a dedicated ERP system "enables unprecedented flexibility, scalability, and innovation for fashion-related businesses," according to the report.
Perhaps one of the most important conclusions companies can draw from Simparel's insights is that the fashion ERP software landscape finally is catching up to the fast-changing business environment that it supports. As a result, fashion-related businesses now have choices and opportunities - without the unacceptable tradeoffs of functionality, flexibility, and cost.
