"I think Ted's growth over the last ten years speaks for itself. This would not have been achievable without a reliable system for all of our key business processes...
CIMS is a highly scalable solution which means that Ted Baker can add stores, warehouses and wholesale customers without any major impact on internal processes. We have worked closely with Prologic to help enhance the system to support us in growth areas, as well as keeping abreast of industry standards...
Using CIMS, Ted Baker has excellent visibility of stock and sales across the distinct areas of the business."
Craig Smith, Brand Communication Director, Ted Baker
"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."
Mathew Driessen, Finance Director, Bamford
"CIMS V7.6 will touch all areas of our business and will be accessed by everyone, from buying and merchandising employees to sales assistants on the shop floor right through to back-office staff. Critically, in using a single version, single database product such as CIMS, we have centralised information systems and integrated business processes which enable us to operate far more efficiently...
We are transforming Liberty to provide the most luxurious experience to our guests and the modernisation of our systems will allow our staff to provide a faster and more customised service. CIMS V7.6 will provide us with much better reporting and stock management capabilities. New touch screen EPOS terminals will also provide sales staff a far more intuitive user interface that will help to speed up transactions and reduce queries in store. Furthermore, the XML interface technology developed in CIMS V7.6 will enable us to achieve an improved level of eCommerce integration."
Jonathan Samols, Director, Liberty
"Many of the ecommerce solutions in use today have little functionality beyond a shop window, with limited merchandising capabilities. These deliver good results for many retailers, so imagine the results possible with the functionality of an ecommerce portal developed specifically for the fashion sector. We are really interested in the work Prologic is doing to truly incorporate etailing into fashion businesses rather than treating it as a bolt-on component...
Ted Baker prides itself on being at the forefront of innovation and setting a new standard in fashion. The technology Prologic has developed is the next generation of ecommerce with functionality that has been a 'virtual' pipe dream up until this point, so we were keen to get involved in its development. The result is a state of the art ecommerce portal tailored to the needs of fashion businesses which we may implement in the future as and when our needs dictate."
Spokesperson, Ted Baker
"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."
David Green, Finance Director, Famous Footwear
"We want to be working very closely with our customers, to the point where we are an integral part of their supply chain. By harnessing the power and speed of the internet we will provide direct, high-speed eCommerce access to our order processing and distribution systems...
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."
Keith Walmsley, Finance and Operations Director, Turner Bianca
"...For the first time I have known what is in the shops. Previously it was Excel and nous - we've some good nous in the business. But the technology has really opened my mind to the opportunities. Effectively we've been trading blind for 28 years and now we've got information at our fingertips."
