ATLANTA - July 7, 2009 - Inovis announced today that Affliction Clothing, the premier clothing line for rock bands and celebrities, has selected the company to standardize its supply chain communication through Inovis` Value Added Network (VAN) and Master Data Management (MDM) solutions. Affliction will use the Inovis platform to quickly exchange the latest product information with retailers and manage the secure movement of data and documents between the company and its suppliers and retail customers across North America.
As a growing brand, Affliction needed to take control of its EDI trading partnerships to better service its larger retailer customers. By using Inovis, Affliction will not only be able to exchange business information electronically with all of their trading partners, they will be able to compress their order-to-cash cycles.
"These days, companies want to focus on what they do best and offload the rest to save costs," said Steve Cochran, chief marketing officer, Inovis. "Inovis will free Affliction from the need to manage the daily headaches in the supply chain. Instead, they can focus on retaining their position as one of the upcoming clothing brands for the rock-n-roll and Mixed Martial Arts crowds."
"We`re a young, fast growing brand," said Scott Hampshire, CIO at Affliction. "We needed a painless, scalable solution that we could bring in-house to stay connected to our retail customers and suppliers and integrate smoothly with our ERP. Inovis provides that for us."
With the Inovis value-added network (VAN), companies and their partners have a single web portal at www.inovisworks.net to manage the movement of electronic purchase orders, shipment notices (ASNs), and invoices across a diverse community of suppliers and retailers.
Inovisworks is run on the Inovis Multienterprise Expert Service Hub (MESH) platform which provides 99.995% availability so that companies can always do business together.For more information, see:
