The iSyncSolutions development team has been hard at work making architectural changes to leading ERP and PLM apparel software system, Sync, to ensure it continues to meet the changing needs of the clothing industry.
One of the key new features of Sync5 is the e-commerce integration. For branded businesses, e-commerce is a non-negotiable. Sync allows you to manage your catalogues from one place and seamlessly provide up-to-date information to your e-commerce store as well as integrating orders from your online shop directly into Sync - without any manual intervention or double capturing.
"The bottom line with e-commerce is that you cannot afford not to have an integrated solution - ensuring up-to-the minute live inventory is available, quick order turnaround, dashboard reporting, order visibility. Without it, e-commerce can severely damage your brand," says iSyncSolutions MD Peter Booysen.
The revolutionary new iPad sales app is another addition to the Sync package. It's an industry-leading application that allows branded businesses to sell products from an iPad in the most fluid and efficient way possible. This fashion wholesale app, Sync.Mobile, enables sales reps to browse catalogues and create line sheets directly from an iPad. Reps can create customised line sheets by quickly selecting styles with a few simple clicks and then e-mailing a pdf copy to buyers. By simplifying and streamlining order entry, reps can spend their time selling instead of handwriting orders. Sync.Mobile is designed with online and offline functionality so that you can always make that sale!
Sync.Mobile also eliminates paperwork and double capturing by providing seamless integration with Sync's Apparel PLM Software. With live, up-to-the-minute on-hand inventory levels, reps know what styles are available to sell immediately. This development to the Sync package will underpin Sync's expansion into the USA, which will be happening later this year.
Booysen believes the future of efficient and successful apparel and footwear companies lies in forming strategic partners with suppliers and customers. Improving communication, collaboration and visibility is paramount to strengthen relationships and improve overall performance.
The Sync team has developed several Web-based modules of Sync that allow remote Sync users as well as suppliers and customers to access certain modules of Sync. The Web modules include style or job information, the task module, QA module, comments and documents. This means you can provide suppliers with limited access and assign tasks for them to complete. Or allow them to provide comments on order progress, or upload Techpack and other important documentations. By doing so, it reduces duplication, inefficacy and promotes collaboration.
