Textile - Fashion

The higher the quality of the product in the textile-fashion industry, the higher the quality standards imposed by the manufacturing company regarding design, materials used and production processes. However, the high quality level of a fashion product cannot, by itself, constitute a valid element of competitive differentiation, if it is not supported by an adequate logistic distribution structure that guarantees that the distinctive product characteristics are maintained during transfer (inbound / outbound) and ensure the completeness, punctuality and timeliness of delivery to the point of sale.

CASSIOLI know the service level required in this specific sector in terms of accuracy in order filling and shipping, quality and safety of transport inside and outside the plant, care in storing the unpackaged product and, generally speaking, towards the entire warehouse architecture. CASSIOLI can offer the best solution for storing systems, order preparation, packaging and handling. Today, deliveries entail increasingly large quantities in short time requirements, and are especially concentrated in warehouse delivery peaks. In this scenario, which requires packaging the product as late as possible, the use of particularly high-performance systems proves essential.

One must also consider that, sometimes, the product destined to the point of sale cannot be assigned definitively in advance. The shop does not have sufficient space to stock tens of thousands of different product codes in terms of types of article, materials, colors and sizes ordered during the season and, most of all, cannot foresee which items will sell with greater success. Furthermore, different products are matched together, based on the image of the brand communicated by the mass-media. Therefore, the merchandise destined to the stores cannot be assigned in advance in the main warehouses, thus making it impossible to carry out consolidation, packaging and shipment. Product re-assignment and the definition of the percent of product to send always take place just before shipment. This means that part of the merchandise must be kept loose and may be packaged only at the last minute before shipment.
