Kit and Ace is a contemporary luxury apparel brand founded in Vancouver, Canada by Shannon Wilson and J. J. Wilson, the wife and son of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson. They specialize in producing “Technical Luxury” garments, meaning they apply technical attributes to traditionally high-end fabrications like cashmere. They also offer online E-commerce shopping and operate a vertical retail model.
With a long history in retail, the founders wanted to channel their mutual passion for innovation, design, fashion and creativity into the evolution of Kit and Ace. They wanted to implement process improvements by incorporating all technical and design information into one Cloud-based location and at the same time manage integrated supplier interactions, messaging, critical path and product approval management.
"Given that we want to connect everyone internally and our overseas vendors, the Cloud was a natural choice and WFX has been super easy for our teams to adopt ", says Laura Rowse, Head of Sourcing, Kit and Ace.
WFX Cloud PLM is contributing to Kit and Ace’s growth by:
- Reducing product development lead times
- Enhancing product quality and deliveries
- Reducing product cost
- Providing seamless costing integration & visibility
