Calzedonia S.p.a. of Verona, Italy, a leading Italian designer and retailer of beachwear, lingerie and hosiery have chosen Fast React Evolution Planning software for their factories in Sri Lanka, Romania and Bulgaria, plus the Head Office in Verona.
Calzedonia have an annual turnover of €400m. The organisation has been operating for 20 years and now has approximately 2000 retail outlets throughout Europe selling their Calzedonia and Intimissimi labels.
With the business expanding it was becoming apparent to Calzedonia that their spreadsheet and related manual systems were just not able to cope and they were struggling to see available capacity within the factory locations. Mr. Riccardo Romani, Director of Production, quotes:
"We have chosen Fast React Evolution Planning to enable us to maximize production efficiency at our factories, whilst at the same time providing us with the capabilities for quick response and lead time reduction. These are key requirements for the continued success of Calzedonia to enable us to satisfy our ever-changing customer demands."
The Fastreact solution will provide a detailed and visible plan for each factory at each key production stage and then deliver vital progress information back to the central planning department in Verona. The benefits will be effective planning in terms of order allocation and loading with timely monitoring and follow-up.
