Fashion logistics is defined by size and colour variants, short seasons and heavy returns. A warehouse management system treats each variant as its own stock position, picks and verifies the exact variant at the pack station, and returns saleable goods to stock quickly enough for them to sell within the same season.

Size and colour variants are managed as separate unrelated items
Variants held under one style with matrix ordering, counting and reporting, instead of hundreds of disconnected SKUs
Season transitions leave last season's stock in prime locations
Slotting and replenishment rules driven by season and sell-through, so prime pick faces follow what is actually selling
Return rates make online stock positions unreliable
Returns inspected against a rule set and returned to sellable stock, repair or write-off, with availability updated on the spot
Wholesale pre-orders and online sales draw from the same pool
Committed wholesale volume ring-fenced from online availability, with release rules when the commitment lapses
Value-added services like tagging and pressing are untracked
Labelling, tagging and finishing tracked as real, timed steps in the flow, so they can be planned and costed

We needed a better, more transparent and practical system for our incoming and outgoing product flow. A direct overview in our stock and all our logistics movements was really a must. BizBloqs helped us from the start!
Rik Klein - Sales manager
In addition to a scan procedure with EDI integration, BizBloqs has set up an entire production system for us. Production planning can provide direct instructions and as soon as they are ready, it all arrives in the OMS. This gives us a larger production capacity and a drastic reduction of the picking mistakes in dispatching.
