Takko Fashion
Smarter fashion retailing thanks to category and assortment planning
Staying on course for growth in the fashion market requires not only a high-turnover omni-channel retailer, but also efficient merchandise and article planning. Takko Fashion saw potential for optimization in this area, as planning had previously involved a great deal of manual effort in Excel. However, Takko Fashion did not want to throw its specific planning processes overboard, so it was looking for a new tool that would integrate planning, analysis and reporting in a standardized platform while also providing the flexibility to optimally map its own business processes.
After exploring the market, Takko decided to work with our experts to develop an integrated solution for merchandise and product range planning based on Board. After just three months, the merchandise financial planning solution went live. This was followed by the implementation of assortment planning with a direct interface to order management. Today, the end-to-end solution ensures significantly more efficient merchandise management and assortment planning.
