Introduction FashionUnited Indicia

Information is electronically available in most fashion, shoe and sport companies. But in many cases there is still no electronic connection between business partners. The solution for this problem is EDI (electronic data interchange).  EDI systems are exchanging data from retailers to suppliers and vice versa.

As a user of EDI you will have to develop a message standard with every single business relation. To simplify this process, FashionUnited eBusiness has developed a EDI service centre (S.a.a.S.) for messaging, product data management, order intake, and analysis of sales data. Our service centre uses a “one way of connectivity”, which means you are only connected with our service centre. Together we develop a message standard which connects you, and your business relations, to our service centre.

The business flow from supplier to shop floor can be optimized and suppliers can have access to the actual detailed sell through figures from the shop floors. The benefits of our services are measurable on both sides of the market, not only in time and money, but also in “know how” and efficiency. As a supplier, with having direct access to you detailed sell trough figures, you have created a lot of “know how” which you can use in your strategy for an specific area or market.

Concluding: process integration via electronic data interchange leads to closer partnerships and significant advantages for both of the participants in the fashion supply chain.
