"Our industry faces unique challenges and operational complexities, and the depth and breadth of Lawson's expertise, proven track record in the fashion industry and its industry-specific software functionality were crucial deciding factors in our vendor choice," said Gordon Cameron, CFO for Canterbury of New Zealand.
"We recommend other companies considering a new IT solution to utilize Lawson Opportunity Analyzer. It was a valuable exercise for us and helped us see how we could meet our aggressive corporate goals and targets over the next few years."
Canterbury will implement Lawson QuickStep Fashion in support of its business processes, including forecasting, planning, procurement, warehousing and finance. The company will also take advantage of the intuitive Lawson Smart Client user interface as well as training and learning support through Lawson Learning Accelerator.
"With high order volumes, wide product variety, short lead-times and increasingly demanding consumers, it is crucial for fashion companies to look at ways to improve their business processes," said Andrew Dalziel, marketing director for Fashion, Lawson. "We are delighted to be working with Canterbury and feel the Lawson solutions will help the company achieve its business growth plans by helping to streamline and control its supply chain activities."
