Business Wire
The Board of 3Q Holdings Limited (ASX: TQH) announced today that
it recently signed an agreement for Island Pacific Planning
licenses and services with Joules Clothing, a United Kingdom
retailer with over 50 locations that designs upbeat, colourful
clothing for women and children who love the outdoors and live life
to the full.
Island Pacific Planning is the cornerstone of Island Pacific’s
Assortment Management solution and consists of Merchandise Planning
(incorporating Price Points and Category Mix Analysis and Key Item
Planning), Store Planning (incorporating Store Clustering and
Grading) and Assortment Planning.
The Island Pacific Planning solution will be interfaced to
Joule’s existing systems and will allow Joules to efficiently and
accurately plan across all levels of their multichannel
business.
The Island Pacific solution will be used across all channels,
including retail, web, mail order, international and wholesale. It
will provide them with powerful decision support tools and strong
forecasting and planning capabilities to profitably achieve their
goals.
“Joules has seen significant growth over the past few years and
has substantial global expansion plans for the next three to four
years. Not only is our solution robust, efficient and simple to
use, but it will allow Joules to be more reactive to meet the
demands of their ever changing and expanding business. We look
forward to working with Joules over the coming months and years to
improve planning processes, business intelligence, accuracy and
efficiency.” said Mike Dotson, Vice President of Global Sales.
Nick Wyld, Head of IT at Joules, commented: “We believe it will
provide the Buying and Merchandising teams with an effective set of
tools that will support the growth of the business through more
efficient and timely planning, monitoring and forecasting and
significantly reduce manual input. The Planning solution will not
only remove the manual processes, but it should also help to
minimise issues related to human error. It will lead to better
quality decisions and allow Joules to do what they do now but
better.”
