U.S.-based supplier of fashion blanks
transforms its demand and inventory management with Logility
Logility, Inc., a leader in supply chain innovation powering the
sustainable and resilient enterprise, today announced the addition
of Next Level Apparel® (NLA) to its customer community. One of the
leading wholesale producers and sellers of premium quality blank
apparel in the United States, Next Level Apparel has implemented
the Logility® Digital Supply Chain Platform to modernize its
demand and inventory planning processes.
Using the Logility platform, Next Level Apparel can better:
- Optimize its inventory and production strategy to eliminate a
surplus of supply and the additional costs that come with
oversupply,
- Position maximum sell-through,
- Accommodate highly fluctuating consumer buying behavior,
and
- Respond to spontaneous product demand and new market
opportunities, which have been amplified by the COVID-19
pandemic.
“Although early in our adoption, our team has experienced great
success with Logility. Their team of experts made our transition
from legacy systems and manual processes to total digital supply
chain management an easy experience,” said Paul Volkman, CIO at
Next Level Apparel. “We expect efficiency, without question, but
also plan to gain greater effectiveness through our new digital
approach to supply chain management.”
Before implementing the Logility platform in January, Next Level
Apparel used a mix of Excel spreadsheets and a legacy proprietary
ERP system to manage its supply chain. Now, Next Level Apparel uses
Logility’s planning technology in conjunction with Microsoft
Dynamics ERP. The integration between Logility and Microsoft
Dynamics helps Next Level Apparel synchronize activities, gain
time, accuracy and efficiency.
“The pandemic has exemplified supply chain complexities and has
shown organizations the manual way of doing things must be replaced
for digital solutions,” said Allan Dow, president of Logility.
“Next Level Apparel knew that to grow, it had to transition to
digital demand and inventory management. Upgrading its technology
stack and processes has helped the brand improve supply chain
visibility and has provided the ability to optimize inventory and
keep on top of changing consumer demand.”
