Apparel and footwear companies operate on the fly. They change much of their product lineups
with every season, and timing is critical. Uncertain economic times and constant changes in
technology mean the margin for error is thin. If garment makers miss a beat, consumers and
retailers will simply walk away to the competition.
The SOJOURNER Mobile Enterprise Solution by SITA CORP is the perfect fit for the constantly
changing apparel & footwear industry. By enabling mobile access to backend systems, SOJOURNER
provides operational flexibility and simplifies sales, procurement, inventory management and
production planning. SOJOURNER enables teams at all levels of the enterprise to understand,
anticipate and efficiently fulfill customer demands.
The apparel and footwear industry's product life cycle drives a complex chain of processes
and manual transactions. On top of that, market demand and conditions can change on a dime.
SOJOURNER enables information that had been locked in backend systems and only accessible over
a PC to be available anytime and anywhere on a BlackBerry, iPad, iPhone or other mobile device.
Most companies, for example, subcontract with companies that manufacture clothing and shoes.
Timely collaboration is essential for maintaining profitability. Changes in seasonal sales, fickle
customer demand, global competition, product profiles, branding issues, shifting supplier bases and
scalability are all issues that must dealt with immediately. SOJOURNER enables information to be
communicated — and acted on — from anywhere.
SOJOURNER's extensive library of apps also supports the complex processes and operations that
support the enterprise's internal operations. They not only increase operational flexibility
but also allow cross-functional teams to access, update and act on information in a
timely manner.
Among the benefits SOJOURNER and SITA CORP offer to
the apparel and footwear industry:
An exclusive and industry-specific solution focus that helps simplify adoption,
boosts employee satisfaction and drives improved productivity
Tools for demand-and-supply planning, order-to-cash management,
and inbound and outbound logistics
Ready-package implementation and support, including AFS and PLM solutions
Business intelligence and data warehousing solutions
eBusiness solutions.
In addition, the SOJOURNER solution is simple: Besides not requiring any change to the backend
system, it can be deployed within a few days without any programming. It's also fully compliant
with existing IT security policies, or you can choose to deploy SOJOURNER data security.
SOJOURNER also incorporates SITA CORP's vast experience working with apparel and footwear clients.
For years, our work in the industry has given our clients a competitive advantage with a rich blend of
functional and technical solutions for mobile and desktop use.
