Turn Product Faster - The Simparel Difference

Simparel SCM is designed to address the industry-specific, multi-dimension functionality global fashion companies require, giving you the ability to have complete visibility across your global supply chain and run a cost-effective operation.

In a global industry, often with complex supply chains, it is crucial to have visibility and tracking of all orders. Our apparel supply chain solution provides the tools to increase efficiencies and margins through real-time communication between you and your global supply chain partners. Maintain visibility to your orders and products at all times, with the ability to track margins, and be alerted of any delays, along with real-time tools to correct any problems, to ensure better cost management and accelerate cycle times.

Simparel customers are achieving benefits such as:

  • Operations Improvements Through Reduced Cycle Times
  • Improved Cash Flow and Better Cost Management
  • Significant Savings From Automated Collaborative Processes
  • Real-Time Visibility To Supply Chain With Warnings & Alerts
  • Complete Integration to Simparel's Unified ERP

All of your vendor sample and production orders, with their requirements, due dates and status, are visible in a list or calendar format to both you and your vendor, simplifying and automating communications.

Establishing and maintaining cost and margin control through every step of your production order process, starting with a request for quote (RFQ), is made easy with Simparel's web-based vendor portal. Simparel SCM will enable you to automate the pricing agreement and actualize the cost to your DC.

With Simparel SCM, you can jointly manage production schedules with your partners to accelerate the production process and ensure on-time delivery. Collecting real-time progress updates gives you the agility to make informed decisions to best meet your consumer demands
