Unlock curation that scales
Optimize product assortment and customer loyalty across channels by launching your own online marketplace.
Let's talkEmbrace the online future of fashion now
Consumers have definitively moved to eCommerce, resulting in increased expectations that apparel retailers must now deliver. The battle to win these digital consumers compels retailers and brands to seek new ways to capture loyalty and spend.
- Adding assortment means added costs
With styles dictated by global trends, and emphasis on sustainable, responsible fashion, retailers struggle to reduce inventory costs while stocking the precise products their customers are searching for online.
- Linear supply chain is a liability
Consumer demand is volatile and becoming harder to predict. Linear and inflexible supply chains often create excess inventory and inevitable markdowns or out-of-stocks. Both erode bottom lines.
- Competition is rapidly capturing customers
Online marketplaces and digital savvy apparel players are winning more customers on apparel searches and purchases, while traditional retailers are slowed down by merchandising and logistics constraints.
