Brooks Brothers is also implementing the SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) and SAP Customer Activity Repository applications. These systems will provide a 360-degree view of customers worldwide, according to a press release.

Lori Mitchell-Keller, global general manager, Consumer Industries, SAP said, “By including manufacturing capabilities in SAP Fashion Management, we are able to provide a truly vertical solution via end-to-end scenario integration. In addition, with SAP HANA there is access to transformative new processes such as multichannel material requirements planning or order allocation with the ability to simulate.”

Sahal Laher, executive VP and CIO at Brooks Brothers said, “We selected SAP to have a global, scalable system from an innovative partner with a strong background in fashion and retail. The key process benefit that we've realised with SAP so far is better visibility into our inventory and our financials.

With SAP Fashion Management, SAP helps fashion companies that are vertically integrated and have multiple sales channels and multiple businesses to act as one integrated unit.
