Finance Director

"As we continue to develop our brand and strengthen our position in the market, we need an IT supplier that understands the fashion business and the challenges we face. We simply do not have the time to educate a supplier about what we are trying to do. From the very first meeting it was obvious that Prologic understood us, and exactly what we were trying to achieve. Prologic has an excellent record of supporting fast growing fashion businesses and can provide us with the infrastructure we need for the business today that will scale up as we continue to expand."

IT Development Manager

"It was clear that Prologic's was the only solution that would truly support both our retail and wholesale operations. We were particularly impressed by the depth of functionality and the expertise of its consultants."

Head of IT

"Technology has always played an important role at EAST, so choosing the right people to provide that technology is half the battle. Prologic intimately understands the fashion business, so we've been able to work closely with them to pick out and perfect the functionality that will make the biggest difference to us and our customers. One of the core benefits of our earlier Prologic system was its reliability. Now I believe we have an equally reliable framework but with all the modern capabilities we need for our future strategy."

Finance Director

"The CIMS system has an excellent fit to our business and the fact that it gave us the merchandising and planning side of the business as well within one single system made it unique compared to the competition. We considered other options but when we compared functionality, total cost of ownership and expertise in our sector, Prologic was the obvious choice."

Finance Director

"CIMS has significantly improved our grading, allocation and replenishment processes, to the extent that the time spent setting up both gradings and allocations has been halved. The return on investment has begun immediately - using the new functionality we have been able to free up resources for value-adding tasks, improving our stock allocation accuracy and ensuring that the correct lines and levels of stock are in the right places. This will lead us to increased full-price sales, lower markdowns and a higher achieved margin. Also, by extending Prologic CIMS to our mail order side we now benefit from a single view of the business at the same time as improving customer service"

Operations Director

"CIMS provides us with one, fully integrated and centrally controlled solution for all our business channels, including the website. We now have a much greater degree of visibility and control over key business areas and activities. CIMS is also equally strong at supporting the retail and wholesale side of our business, both of which present important opportunities for growth. We've already seen a major change to the management of the wholesale operation and the customer experience, including uplift in efficiency, detail and accuracy through all elements of the wholesale transaction."

Managing Director

"We haven't had to spend money on large-scale development and because the system is designed specifically for the fashion sector it is ready for us to use from day one."

& Hobbs' Merchandising Director comments:

"Prologic's Fashion Line Merchandising (FLM) has given us the confidence to reduce our initial allocations by up to 25% as we are confident that FLM-will focus the replenishment onto the best selling stores for each line, based on actual performance rather than pre-set store or category gradings. As a result Hobbs is not left with excess terminal stock, therefore, reducing their markdown spend"

Founder and Managing Director

"We very comforted by the fact that Prologic really did understand our market place and they demonstrated that scalability would never be an issue for us"

IT Director

"Prologic has a client base which is demonstrably in our sector, and it clearly has a very close understanding of our business"

Finance Director

"Prologic has constantly evolved CIMS to adapt to our business, but there have been key milestones in its development that have made some major differences to us. For instance, when our business model changed to include our retail-based services in the early 1990s, Prologic collaborated with us to ensure that the system was fully prepared and capable. More recently, the new PoS and multi-channel warehouse management solutions that Prologic has delivered have greatly improved our sales service and customer loyalty - critical in these times. Our relationship with Prologic means we have always been confident that as our business changes direction we will have a reliable IT backbone to support us. We will not have to resort to the struggle of integrating new point solutions to tackle each new demand."

Brand Communication Director

"I think Ted's growth over the last ten years speaks for itself. This would have not been achievable without a reliable system for all our key business processes."

& Ted's Finance Director comments:

"I honestly can't think of a single significant issue that we've had with CIMS since it was implemented"

Finance Director

"We have performed really well this year in a difficult climate and that has been at least in part due to the fact that CIMS has enabled better, more professional retailing. Ensuring stock is located correctly, minimising out of stocks and reducing unwanted inventory has delivered significant value to the bottom line. T.M. Lewin has seen sales increase by 20% as a result of maximising the potential of its best selling lines"

Finance & Operations Director

"Prologic is a long term partner to Turner Bianca and even after what I would consider to be a pragmatic, periodic review of the market we have chosen to work with them for the next phase of the development of our systems. Their knowledge of the fashion and lifestyle sector and their collaborative approach to development has been invaluable to us throughout this project."
