Apparel Magazine highlights ApparelMagic clients

ApparelMagic stood out as Apparel Magazine‘s Jordan Speer spoke with several leading fashion companies.

Among them, Christine Bell Currence, president of Badgley Mischka, praised the software’s speed and reduction in customer-response time.

“ApparelMagic’s PLM system has given us a significant boost in efficiency, in many different departments. We use the system throughout the company, to share data with designers, customer service agents, production and inventory control departments, even our warehouse fulfillment partners.”

At Mulberribush, owner David Feinberg has streamlined production processes to great effect using ApparelMagic.

“One of the biggest benefits from this control has been our ability to trim costs, by better understanding the entire product and sales environment — labor, materials, production cycles, customer buying patterns. As a result, ApparelMagic has helped us reduce inventories by up to 40 percent while increasing on-time delivery and customer satisfaction.”

And Peter Akaragian, president and CFO of Seven7 Jeans, has nothing but good things to say about ApparelMagic’s robust capabilities used throughout four of the company’s brands.

“…[A] competitive market demands that you anticipate and respond immediately. Whether it’s a re-design to enhance the product’s appeal, or a change in available fabric and sourcing, we use ApparelMagic’s PLM to determine our options and respond effectively.”

Pure Karma uses ApparelMagic for its ease and flexibility

When Apparel Magazine‘s Jessica Binns interviewed Scott Kallman of Pure Karma, a Los Angeles-based active lifestyle clothing firm, Kallman extolled the virtues of ApparelMagic’s user-friendly system.

“Kallman has been involved with six software implementations at companies ranging in size from $135-million enterprises to his current start-up based in Los Angeles, Pure Karma. He says that integrating ApparelMagic’s solution was the easiest process by far. What’s more, he says, it gives Kallman a competitive advantage as an employer. ‘What I can do is offer unique things like working from home if you’re a parent and need to be with your children,’ he explains. ‘People are able to input their own information into the system — they can drive their own relationship management. I want those sales reps to have access to all of that data — when you input the information yourself, you’re recognizing business opportunities.’

Badgley Mischka coordinates with ApparelMagic

“ApparelMagic’s PLM system has given us a significant boost in efficiency, in many different departments. We use the system throughout the company, to share data with designers, customer service agents, production and inventory control departments, even our warehouse fulfillment partners.

Recently we were able to accomplish an integration between our central office and our fulfillment center that would have been impossible without a modern, integrated software package. By linking ApparelMagic with our warehouse operation, we’re enjoying more transparency in product availability and sales history. Customer service has benefitted by having the latest order status on screen in real time. So when a client calls, they get answers quicker, and that’s improving customer satisfaction and repeat sales.

ApparelMagic also manages many stages of our style creation process, including costing, materials, specs, linesheets and catalogs. We track revisions and re-designs right in the database, instead of relying on separate Excel worksheets. Having the data organized, and shared by all departments really makes a big difference.

It’s also easier now to pull the design and costing elements of our styles together. When you see a product represented visually, and at the same time you see all of the elements that go into it — fabrics, trims, labor and accessories — it helps everyone on the team understand the total picture. Now, when updates are made, everyone sees the change immediately. The team works better together — It’s a well-oiled machine!”

– Christine Bell Currence, President of Badgley Mischka
