Trusted Partner: TXT e-Solutions

Trusted Partner: TXT e-SolutionsTXT e-Solutions are a global provider of software products that simplify the processes in supply chain planning from financial plans right down to location-product-day plans. TXT have grown out of being the supplier of choice to the designer led fashion market and are now very much a retail specialist.

Headquartered in Milan and listed on the Italian stock exchange TXT has experienced incredible growth, during which time they paid a great deal of attention to R&D.

TXT is Microsoft's supplier of choice to provide supply chain planning within the MS Dynamics tool-set. TXT is architected on Microsoft technologies making it a flexible, quick to implement, easy to use and cost effective option to retailers of all sizes and complexity.

TXT's technology has been developed to analyse sales data and use statistical algorithms to determine accurate demand forecasts in real time. Using tools offered by TXT, many retailers and their suppliers have been able to increase their profitability through improved assortment planning and making sure that the right products reach the right stores at the right time. Working with the likes of Habitat, Gucci and Entertainment UK, TXTPERFORM for retail reduces surplus stock, gives fewer markdowns, less stock-outs, improved collaboration and faster replenishment. New features range from enhanced promotion planning tools to the ability to tailor the software to individual needs, whether in fashion, furniture or food retailing.

For fashion, a combination of demand planning, PDM (Product Data Management), and SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) software has led to a new TXT offering in the marketplace: a packaged end-to-end Product Lifecycle Management solution. With more than 150 clients and a deep knowledge of the textile, fashion and retail markets, TXT is already supporting leading companies in the PLM processes, including: Calvin Klein Jeans, Valentino Fashion Group, Dolce & Gabbana, Geox, Champion and Fendi. The benefits obtained can be measured in terms of: shorter time to market for new products, higher performance in new product launch activities, and more control over supply chain costs. TXTPERFORM's distinctive feature is the ability to integrate the creative, productive and retail processes in a highly seasonal and volatile market, namely: product data management, demand forecasting and collections budgeting, assortment and production planning, and operational management of supplies to the stores.
