Accessories
Keeping pace with the changing trends in the accessories market
Most brand owners or fashion companies also offer accessories to augment their apparel and footwear offerings. There are also other companies that specifically focus on accessories such as watches, jewelry and luggage. It is clear that amongst a variety of challenges, those which apply to the global apparel and footwear industry also apply to the accessories industry.
At first sight, the implementation of an SAP AFS solution for an accessory-focused company seems a bit “over the top”- an AFS solution for a company that sells watches? Once you take a closer look at the product features in such a company, you instantly realize that only a robust system that is based on the Apparel and Footwear industry is able to cover the requirements of the industry: multiple metal colors, ring sizes, two-dimensional grids for belts or even three-dimensional grids for optical frames are some examples. Value addition in terms of a variety of packaging and cases for gifts like watches, bracelets or sunglasses, also has to be managed.
attune understands the specific requirements for the accessories industry and has experienced the challenges that companies in this industry are facing. attune’s deep industry experience, technical expertise and best practices solutions, enable accessory companies to keep pace with the changing trends in this specific market and strengthen their position in the global environment.
