How supply chain visibility provides a competitive advantage for Grain de Malice
Created in 2007, Grain de Malice is a fashion retailer operating a network of 200 stores across France and Belgium and a rapidly growing e-commerce business. Grain de Malice relies on the Wakeo platform for global supply chain visibility to tackle the challenges at every step of its supply chain.
Fashion industry logistics have always had to adapt to the speed of go-to-market process and seasonal highs and lows. Clothes have a short shelf-life and are highly seasonal goods, with some recurring peaks such as Sales or at Christmas. Moreover, the fashion industry logistic is a real puzzle since companies need to ship the right SKU’s to stores at the right time and in the right quantities. More recently, companies are facing a new challenge: how to manage flows within a complex, rapidly evolving omnichannel distribution system?
