Branded Lifestyle focuses on mid-tier apparel and accessories including casual fashion brands Hang Ten, Roots, Arnold Palmer and the South Korean fast fashion brand H:Connect.
Carl Kwok, director of information technology at Fung Retailing Group, says the company has been pursuing “clear digital transformation goals” since 2016, including initiatives to digitalise and improve the efficiency of supply chain management across all retailing businesses.
As well as digitalising the merchandise planning and design process, “we will also digitally transform our system that tracks all information for garment production, making it scalable and allowing effective and efficient collaboration with external parties,” he adds.
The company plans to roll out the Centric PLM platform to all Trinity’s users in the first quarter of 2018.
