How New World Fashion Transformed into a Full-Service Apparel Manufacturer with WFX

Challenges they faced

NWF was using separate legacy systems for sourcing, inventory, finance and sales order booking. They were finding it increasingly hard to align business-wide processes and data across locations and functions. For example, they had no way to track the status of materials across warehouses and their utilization in production activities. When new materials arrived, quality evaluation was recorded on paper and had to be manually keyed into the system later.

Furthermore, their design staff in the UK had to coordinate with factories in Vietnam through emails and phone calls. The teams had no centralized platform for collaboration and it was hard to access information in real-time. This made it hard to maintain control over product quality.

As the business grew, NWF was losing both time and money to mundane paperwork, email-based communications, and manual follow-ups with their factories.

Impact after implementing WFX

• The platform allows them to eliminate manual data entries at various touch points such as goods receipts, debit notes, purchase order generation—freeing up around 25% of the time that NWF employees earlier lost on mundane tasks.
• WFX streamlined business processes and gave NWF access to consolidated, real-time, actionable data that allowed them to make smarter business decisions.
• NWF was able achieve a 20% reduction in end-user wait time for critical business processes.
