NEW YORK, NY (July 25, 2001) — As part of its strategy to enhance productivity and profitability throughout its supply chain, Mamiye Brothers today announced it has selected Fashionchain’sTM LinkServerTM, a subscription-based, web-enabled supply chain management solution, to track complex pre-production, production and delivery processes 24/7.
Today’s announcement was made by David Cropper, Mamiye’s Chief Information Officer, and Dr. Michael Wybo, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of Fashionchain. Mamiye is a leading manufacturer and distributor of licensed children’s apparel. Fashionchain is a leading provider of web-enabled supply chain management products and services for softgoods manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers worldwide.
“Fashionchain’s LinkServer,” says Mamiye’s Mr. Cropper, “gives us a workflow tool that improves our ability to manage the many, many activities that occur in the supply chain and to know what’s going on with any product at any stage. With LinkServer, supply chain management becomes a collaborative activity with our suppliers over the Internet to pro-actively manage the supply chain process and to ensure our goods are produced on schedule and shipped to stores on time in the right colors and assortments.
“ Today,” he explains, “our operations professionals spend a disproportionate amount of their valuable time merely attempting to identify real problems. This leaves them less time to actually solve those problems. Fashionchain’s exception-based approach will allow them to be more efficient and effective. Rather than spending their time trying to figure out what the problem is, they’ll spend their time actually resolving Mission Critical issues.
Increasingly,” notes Fashionchain’s Dr. Wybo. “apparel industry leaders, like Mamiye, are turning to the web to replace traditional and costly labor- and time-intensive production tracking tools. Fashionchain’s LinkServer online supply chain management and its automated calendaring applications will enable Mamiye and its partners to ‘manage by exception,’ from anywhere in the world at any time. By delivering information in a timely fashion, LinkServer enables them to anticipate and avoid costly delays, errors and miscommunications and efficiently manage and monitor activities – locally or globally – throughout their supply chain. They’ll be able to collaborate with customers and suppliers in real-time for enhanced speed to market, precision and cost savings – key to protecting margins from costly errors and chargebacks.”
Mamiye Brothers is a leading, privately-owned manufacturer and distributor of licensed children’s clothing for such labels as Guess Kids, Barbie, Bongo and Mary Kate & Ashley.
Fashionchain (www.fashionchain.com), the e-business division of Essentus, Inc., offers a suite of web-based products and services that enable softgoods manufacturers and retailers to collaborate with customers and suppliers in real-time for enhanced speed to market, precision and cost savings.
