The fashion and apparel industries are fast moving and ever changing.
The products are light and relatively easy to handle, but frequently have a very short lifetime before becoming out of date. They must, therefore, be replaced often. Because the products are of various sizes, colours, and styles, there are frequently a very large number of SKUs to store and order pick. Stock per SKU is generally quite small, and the sector demands that stock allocation and replenishment is very quick and responsive.
These, and other, factors, have led to the development of special software, products and solutions to handle the distribution requirements for this industry.
