Tomax Corporation is pleased to announce an agreement with Swarovski, world's leading producer of precision-cut crystal, for the deployment of its Retail.net Merchandise Planning, Demand Forecasting and Inventory Management solutions.
“After an extensive review of the market we selected Tomax because of their superior model that connects strategic planning and operational execution,” said Bob Grant, VP, Supply Chain Management/Consumer Goods for Swarovski North America.
“Unlike the many demand planning solutions on the market that were designed for manufacturing, the Tomax demand forecast was designed for retail and is superior because it works at the SKU level, by store, based on actual sales data. The Tomax solution also provides the sought after integration with our consolidated (retail and wholesale) sales and operations planning for North America and, as well, with our global supply chain partners.”
"The Tomax approach to retail software, integrating merchandise planning, demand forecasting, and inventory management, is truly refreshing. It allows our business to eliminate disconnected spreadsheets, and have a dynamic, comprehensive view of corporate planning & operational requirements,” said Rob Noller, Swarovski Vice President of Information Technology.
“Their technical interface approach promises to provide timely, accurate and actionable information by leveraging source data in-place within our SAP ERP system, in some cases eliminating the need to maintain multiple data sets.”
