Too Brands Inc. selects Jesta’s Vision Merchandising and Vision SCM solutions for purchase order lifecycle management and inventory control
New York, NY – January 12th, 2006 - Jesta I.S., a leading supplier of business solutions for the soft goods and specialty markets, announced today that Too Brands, a specialty retailer for young girl’s apparel operating two specialty retailing concepts under ‘Limited Too’ and ‘Justice’ brand names throughout the United States will implement the Jesta I.S. Vision Merchandising and Vision SCM solutions.
Too Brands expects Vision Merchandising to be its foundation and the processing power behind its retail operations. Vision Merchandising provides retailers with real-time inventory levels across the enterprise and will be fully integrated with Too Brands current systems. Jesta’s solutions will enable Too Brands to quickly determine the status and location of its goods, be it on order, in transit, in warehouse or in store. Vision Merchandising will track Too Brand’s inventory movement including sales, receipts, transfers and RTV’s at the lowest level of detail, style/color/size/dimension and location in retail and cost dollars.
“Our primary goal in choosing the Vision solutions was to meet our anticipated growth while also ensuring that our systems integrate easily and share a common technology platform. Finding an organization that could also provide us with the tools to better control our business and offer the potential to later integrate additional systems for our sourcing department is a great benefit and a perfect fit for Too,” stated John Moore, SVP and CIO for Too Brands Inc.
Vision Merchandising will allow Too Brands to effectively manage inventory for its nearly 700 stores. Jesta’s Vision Merchandising, built on leading-edge Oracle technology, will greatly automate daily processes as well as provide a central “hub” linking all of Too Brands systems.
In conjunction with Vision Merchandising, Vision SCM’s Vision Tracking module will provide Too Brands with the much needed visibility to monitor its business processes including purchase order lifecycle management and the various steps in the production paths of its goods. As production quantities, deadlines, delivery dates or any other scheduled date changes, Vision Tracking transfers the new dates and quantities to Vision Merchandising while also generating an alert via email, based on user-defined parameters. Too Brands can thus become proactive and achieve better control over its inventory and supply chain processes.
“As a self-sourcing retailer, Too Brands can expect to reap the benefits of working with a vendor who truly understands both sourcing and retail with solutions that address the entire supply chain,” stated Leslie Belcher, President of Jesta I.S.
