improve collaboration and enhance its brand value through constant

provide information such as colour codes and style numbers to its
suppliers in one common language. .

its colour, style and fabric information so that the same information
is provided to suppliers and retailers regardless of geographic
location. .

trends, put the concept together, source it very quickly and have it in
the store in time to meet consumer demand,” said CIO Mike Relich..
“He added that the apparel sourcing solution “enables Guess to be a
responsive and nimble fashion leader by seamlessly managing
collaboration with our suppliers, production facilities, and retail and
wholesale locations.” .

“This allows companies to manage collaboration with production
offices and retailers, as well as supporting costing and pre-production
processes. .
“In order to remain competitive in a fast-paced industry, Guess
needs to accelerate the processes involved in bringing their products
to market,” said Steven Walton, chairman of the Zymmetry Group. .
“One of the most effective ways to do this is by linking global
sourcing with product development – in essence, marrying creative
fashion teams with the practical production side..”/span>
