Marc Cain, a European fashion retailer, announced a partnership with TXT e-solutions, a provider of integrated and collaborative business process planning tools.
The retailer has gone live with two TXT solutions ― Supplier Relationship Management and Supply Chain Planning & Execution ― to help function as a single entity across its extensive supply chain network. Marc Cain currently operates 146 stores, 258 shop-in-stores in 59 countries, and more than 1,470 specialized shops worldwide. The goals for the new solutions include: improving visibility and resource utilization with supply chain partners, better coordinating production and supply schedules, and reducing lead times.
Marc Cain chose TXT to establish a “more effective production planning system and further increase transparency over operations,” said Matthias Behr, Managing Director of Purchase and Production at Marc Cain. Behr noted that the TXT tools now integrate more than 150 internal users and 80 global suppliers. “In a highly dynamic sector such as fashion, the ability to integrate the end-to-end process — from design to production to supply — and establish a common frame for communication across our partner ecosystem is absolutely key.”
