Infor today announced that Infor Analytics for Fashion has been endorsed by the International Apparel Federation (IAF) as a tool that has been developed with strong user input from both apparel brands and apparel manufacturers. The IAF represents the global apparel industry, through its national and regional industry associations. It advocates continuous improvements in the operation of the supply chain, reducing waste and improving the overall performance of the industry, including profitability, corporate social responsibility and sustainability.
"The interests of both buyers and suppliers of apparel are best served by a smoother, faster and smarter flow of information and goods between manufacturing firms, their clients and eventually retailers and the end consumer. Ultimately, this will lead to more of the right styles on the shelves that consumers want, and fewer products that require unplanned markdowns," said Matthijs Crietee, Secretary General, International Apparel Federation. "By giving the user the ability to analyze an enormous range of data relatively easily across its value chain, IAF believes that Infor Analytics for Fashion offers an important contribution towards creating a better apparel industry, globally."
Infor Analytics for Fashion, part of Infor CloudSuite Fashion, together with Infor business intelligence tools deliver industry-specific analytics, robust reporting capabilities and specific key performance indicators through personalized dashboards that can be accessed from desktop or mobile devices. With Infor, organizations are able to transform information into actionable insights, get a real-time view of performance across the business, speed decision making, and unlock the potential of siloed data within enterprise applications.
"The fashion industry is a large, global value chain that is constantly changing based on the economy and fluctuating consumer tastes. This creates a mass repository of data that, if collected and analyzed properly, can improve efficiency and streamline operations," said Erick Rowe, vice president, Infor Retail. "Infor is committed to delivering innovative, scalable applications with industry-specific capabilities that can be utilized in the cloud, and this endorsement from the IAF is a testament to our success in that area."
