The news Apparel Buyers have been waiting for is here. Finally, a one stop solution for everything from Apparel Sourcing to Supply Chain Management. A proprietary web-based application that permits buyers to upload designs, specify order characteristics, search a worldwide factory data base, create a purchase order, and track work-in-progress up to and including delivery. Offering Apparel Buyers of major, midsize and smaller brands an opportunity to maximize their margins, streamline the sourcing process and ultimately, better manage the rapid pace of the fashion industry.
All registered Apparel Buyers have access to a pre-qualified community of suppliers, manufacturers and agents worldwide, including a database of more than 2,500 pre-qualified and screened apparel factories in 48 countries. The online interface creates two different sourcing opportunities as well. First, Apparel Buyers can search through the secure and private Global Sourcing Network based on their specific garment needs, directly ask questions of suppliers and request samples and competitive bids. If a company has their own supplier network, the customized Private Sourcing Network allows the company's Apparel Buyers to move existing sourcing and production capabilities online into its own secure community, and maximize management efficiencies with the online supply chain management tools.
