For online shops specialising in fashion, clothing and textiles, the choice of ERP software is particularly important. From procurement to returns, the business processes present challenges that are rarely found in such concentration in any other e-commerce sector.
A general-purpose system rarely supports these processes without costly customisation. An industry-specific solution such as collana diva now However, it comes with these features right from the start. This article sets out the requirements that fashion companies should place on their ERP system and how a specialised cloud-based ERP system meets them.
High return rate. Fashion and accessories have the highest return rates in online retail. According to the latest EHI survey, the rate stands at between 36 and 50 per cent at almost one in four fashion retailers, although some retailers exceed this. Every return goes through goods receipt, inspection, restocking and credit note processing. Without end-to-end processes, this eats into margins and staff time.
Complex inventory management. Collections change several times a year. Each item is available in a range of sizes, colours and styles. Without real-time data, excess stock builds up at the end of the season or stock shortages occur during the sales. Both cost money: excess stock ties up capital, whilst stock shortages cost turnover.
Sensitive customer data. The ERP system brings together data from sales, CRM and financial accounting. You must protect this data from unauthorised access. Role-based access control, encryption and reliable cloud operations are therefore key selection criteria.
Peaks in orders. Black Friday, sales periods and new collection launches generate spikes in orders. Systems that aren’t designed to cope with this become sluggish or crash. This hits the shop at precisely the time when turnover would be at its highest.
Fashion companies benefit from a solution designed specifically for their sector. The comparison highlights the differences.
