Canadian outerwear company APP Group is modernising its  enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply chain, and analytics software to support its growth and global expansion.

The group is headquartered in Montreal and owns the Mackage and Soia & Kyo outerwear brands.

It is implementing a suite of solutions including Infor CloudSuite Fashion, Infor Demand Planner, Infor Nexus, and Birst analytics to accelerate its direct-to-consumer expansion. Infor’s platform is expected to enable APP Group to standardise processes across the enterprise while maximising the availability of inventory across all fulfilment channels. 

“As our business rapidly expands, APP Group needs to have a modernised IT foundation to grow and scale effectively. Our investment in Infor’s ERP and supply chain solutions will help provide the transformation our organisation needs to drive agility, improve our time to market for new products and expand globally,” says Donna Lisk, CFO at  APP Group.

Given the seasonal nature of the outerwear business and the unpredictability from weather, managing inventory availability with seasonal demand and coordinating products across a global supply chain is a key challenge that the company will be able to better manage, Infor says.

It will also improve supply chain visibility and collaboration from the factory floor to the store, providing APP Group with the ability to best manage product complexity and the agility to respond to changing demand, the firm adds.
