Collaboration for the 21st Century:

In
the consumer packaged goods industry, strong linesheet
planning means the best possible use of your customer's
money. Why increase operating costs through overproduction,
with the next batch of styles on the way?
Systech's
Planning & Forecasting System allows you to plan your production
in collaboration with your clients. PFS gives salespersons
the ability to work with customers to anticipate demand
and to plan the necessary product mix down to the door and
fixture levels. The system thus ensures that you produce
the right styles, in the right quantity at the right time
- eliminating excess and obsolete inventory. That's money
well saved.

"Thank
you to Systech… PFS has increased our efficiency and productivity.
It has cut down the time we used to take to roll up our buy
plan spreadsheets in half. We are confident that this tool
will be useful for many seasons to come, and prove beneficial
to our continued success."
- Amaris DeRossett, Director of Systems, Chaps Ralph Lauren
On
average, companies go from 30% off-price holdings to 5% off-price.
With near-perfect fashion planning, there are significant
profits to be made. For example, take this case study.
-Before
PFS™, Authentic Fitness, Inc. sold 60-70% of its fashion inventory
at full price. Every year, the company was faced with
up to 40% incentive-priced items and struggling profits.-
After
PFS™, Authentic Fitness is selling 95% of its fashion inventory.
It does not overproduce or underplan. AFC's revenue stream
has shot up, its holdings are reduced and the merchandising
department has time to focus on the next season.
