TOUGH TIMES - NEW OPPORTUNITIES

The current difficult economic conditions provide agile retailers with the opportunity to examine old assumptions and to review current solutions.

Successful retailers may need to update their planning and control systems to enable them to service current and emerging markets better.

Decision Systems have 20 years experience of helping UK fashion and general merchandise retailers, such as Per Una, with merchandise planning and reporting systems. We can help you, too.

Less Stock, Better Margins

Do you need to improve control of stock and commitment?

WSSI is the accepted tool for forecasting sales and stock but spreadsheet-based systems may not be up to the job in today's circumstances.

*  How confident are you that your WSSI is as effective or as accurate as it could be?

*  Does your WSSI cover multi-channel needs in a meaningful way?

*  Will your WSSI help keep stocks and markdowns to a minimum?

On-Time Deliveries

Are you looking for ways of increasing efficiency and control
of the product development (or PLM) process?

The product development process 'from design to delivery' – needs to be fast and efficient. High visibility and full control of your product pipeline is essential for
on-time deliveries.

*  Is communication with your partners and suppliers both immediate and
    effortless; avoiding emails, phone calls and sending spreadsheets?

*  How easily can you identify problems that may lead to late deliveries?

*  Do you spend time and money manually preparing range story boards and
    store guidelines?

Overseas Sales Up

If direct sales at home are down, are you looking to franchise
for a boost, especially in international markets?

Expanding overseas is an attractive way of compensating for lower sales at home and modern tools can help maximise the return and minimise risks.

*  Are you maximising the potential of overseas markets?

*  Do you have systems in place to promote your offer to franchisees -
    quickly and attractively - via the Internet?

*  Are you exposed to risk by having to contract with suppliers before
    receiving orders from your franchisees?
