The textile business Popken 1880 was founded in 1880 and has developed into a fashion specialist operating worldwide, a provider of high-calibre plus-size fashion. Today, the Popken Fashion Group‘s family of brands includes the labels Ulla Popken, GINA LAURA, the young-fashion label Studio Untold, as well as the menswear label, JP1880.
The Popken Group needed a modern customer-management and order-management software for its catalogue and online business, taking a multi-channel-approach (14 sales channels – 4 brands in 12 countries).
In an environment featuring more than 50 interfaces and a large number of other IT systems,e-velopment’s 360e software was introduced for the four Popken brands. The project was completed on time and within budget, and in accordance with the quality requirements.
The roll-out into the 12 countries took the form of a three-stage launch process. Even while the project was still in progress, the opportunity to start implementing Phase II topics was taken; so only two months after the green light to ‘go-live‘, the markets in the USA and Canada were able to be integrated, as was the link-up to the brands‘ marketplaces on amazon.us and fullbeauty.com.
In our client’s opinion, the following factors are responsible for success:
Close and partnership-based collaboration; effective project controlling; maintaining, as the point of orientation, the standards in 360e.
“In the years of our cooperation, we have got to know you as a reliable, competent and innovative partner, one who, together with us, time and time again, confronts the changes and constantly new requirements. We also wish you all the best for your future and look forward to continuing our cooperation!“
