Fashion is Creative, Tech should be too.

Fashion is Creative, Tech should be too.

 

Did fashion designers ever foresee how much time they’d end up spending on Excel, instead of the visual, creative stuff?

The reality is, most brands run on hundreds of boring spreadsheets. But here’s the thing—the fashion industry runs on creativity. Yet its operations are still supported by clunky tech designed for other industries.

Fashion deserves visual systems that people enjoy using every day. Systems that are backed by good design that provides user-friendly experiences. This has been a core principle for the SupplyCompass product development and delivery software.

Watch/Listen to Co-Founder + Head of Product, Flora Davidson, explain why Excel just doesn’t cut it for designers and how that’s been a big role in shaping SupplyCompass.

Right Thing #5 – The name of the game is Agility

In agility, there’s a real emphasis on co-creation, on a cycle of continuous improvement, production and distribution with regular reflections on how to be better by constant fine-tuning and adjusting. Brands and supply chains being agile will, no doubt, be the most successful — and sustainable — organisations of the future.
