“We currently plan our business and all our collections in Excel, meaning a lot of time is spent consolidating different spreadsheets, and constraints in terms of business visibility. Aptos’ planning solutions will enable Hopeshow to manage our merchandise lifecycle from end-to-end. Our range plans will benefit from being developed based on our financial goals, which will result in more balanced and well-constructed collections that optimise buying and delight customers in our stores. Finally, the system’s allocation and replenishment capabilities complete the offering, ensuring accurate product deliveries and an optimised use of supply chain assets,” Hua said.
Hopeshow looks forward to the Aptos implementation enabling it to deliver more precise, customer-centric merchandising decisions, to improve store performance, reduce inventory and, most importantly, delight more customers more often. Hopeshow will adopt the Aptos AgileFit deployment methodology which, based on industry best practices, reduces implementation time and accelerates speed to value.
“China is an extremely strategic market for Aptos, and we are thrilled to be adding a leader such as Hopeshow to our customer base. Our planning solutions are a best fit for Chinese retailers that realise they need to support their expansion plans with better planning capabilities and integration. Our agile methodology matches the sense of urgency that we have found at Hopeshow and other Chinese retailers as their market rapidly evolves and matures,” Notes Noel Goggin, Aptos CEO and culture leader said.
