Infor Fashion for the accessories industry
Integrate business activities, simplify operations,
improve profitability, streamline sourcing and
sample management, simplify design and product
development, and automate sales with Infor Fashion.
Designed for speed
To succeed in the accessories business, you need
to manage more types of products than in virtually
any other business. In fact, the accessories
segment accounts for the greatest number of
Standard Industry Codes (SIC) of any segment
in the fashion industry.
And each of those myriad products can have a
large number of attributes—more than just style,
color, and size—something most ERP products
don’t understand. You need software that’s
flexible and capable enough to handle all those
product categories and attributes the way you
define them—not some way that’s hardwired into
the software.
You get all that with Infor® Fashion. You also get
extensive industry-specific functionality that can
effectively manage all your accessory products
and their attributes, help integrate your business
activities, simplify every aspect of your operations,
and improve your profitability.
Designed to specification
You can’t meet the unique needs of the
accessories industry with generic software that
treats all industries equally. At Infor, we understand
that the accessories industry isn’t like any other
industry. So, we’ve created a tailored suite of
software specific to the needs of your industry.
We believe that one size fits one.
With Infor Fashion, you get all the capabilities
to manage the accessories lifecycle builtin—not bolted on. So what does that mean for
you? It means faster deployments and fewer
modifications. You can be up and running more
1
quickly, with fewer disruptions to your business.
Upgrades are faster, too. So you can quickly adapt
your business processes to the rapid changes
of the accessories industry.
Tied to your success
For more than 25 years, Infor has met the needs
of over 1,700 fashion companies worldwide.
We’ve helped them manage many of the same
issues you face in the accessories industry, such
as consolidation, increased product diversity,
planning and forecasting challenges, and
increasing regulations. You get the broadest,
deepest solution for manufacturers and
companies that design, source, distribute with

variances of all cost elements. Ultimately, you’ll
