FashionBoard Gabba

For us it has already made a huge impact on our availability of our rerun/NOOS styles. Where we normally buy "safe" regarding lengths and sizes, we now put more trust in the system and buy more pcs. of the "outer" sizes, because we have the statistics of FashionBoard to back it up. Great tool for me as a buyer and saves me soooo much time!

PROS

I like the fact, that the it makes it so much easier to plan my buying, the amount and the right time to purchase. It takes a bit of study to get into the program, but it becomes quite natural after a while.

CONS

It would be good to be able to put in some kind of filter, so you can easilier see through what is collection orders and what are reorders. Filter out length on a pant or jeans without completely blocking the length from the system.

Reason for choosing FashionBoard

I believe we chose FashionBoard over our alternatives, because we had a good relation with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] from the beginning of the process.If you have any issues at all, you can always call or write him and you will get a reply or a call back as soon as he can. Great guy!Regarding the software itself, I think there were a few things we liked with FashionBoard compared to the competitors. Most of the other software were more Sales related and not so much Buying related. Here we also have to possibility to implement some new ideas or things into the software, if it can help the software and other users as well.All in all a great and pretty easy software to work with, have some patience in the beginning and at some point you will be checking up on your styles with less time used every time.

Vendor Response

Improve your availability while reducing your stock value

We dont have sold out periods today as we had before. If we are getting sold out periods we know it several weeks before it hits and we can inform customers and partners in time. We get an easy overview for every style, factory and fabrics. It is very easy to make decisions based on what you see on one screen. We have improved our NOOS program, our stock value and availability drastically.

PROS

The system has really good simulation tools. It is easy for the sales people and planning people to see the numbers and allign that they are looking into the same future. It is very easy to change your forecast and see how it affects your stock and incoming orders.

CONS

I am missing the option to put in a fixed minimum stock. If we as a company decides for our 10 best selling products to add another fixed qty to our safety stock, but we still want our normal sales to go up and down and our safety stock to follow our sales expectations. I dont have that option today and I am missing that, specially when we are in a period with growth in sales.

Reason for choosing FashionBoard

With FashionBoard we found a partner who understands our business and are willing to challenge and push us in the right direction. They are not just selling a software, but they are providing a service where they help you to improve your business in more than just one way. FashionBoard is more than just a software.

Reasons for switching to FashionBoard

The old system was too complicated and the planners and buyers didn't have the chance to perform in such a system.

Vendor Response

Dear Daniel, Thank you for your review, we are very happy that we are both able to help you with FashionBoard but also that we help you to improve your business.

Simple solution for a complex situation

Forecasting on a wide range of products to the retail industry. The categories span from Candles and Painting to Interior products. We have with the forecasting system now got a total overview of all the products, which mean we have reduced our inventory up to 30% or more the first two years.

PROS

- Easy to implement - Planning screen with all the information you need are shown in one screen which means very few clicks and time saving. - Giving a great total overview of all SKU's pr. supplier/category. - Possible to go 'behind' the software solution and work with numbers, analysis etc. - Possible to integrate the forecast into an overall dashboard

CONS

Not as data heavy as other software solutions regarding formulas and automatic forecasting based on historic data. So you need to spend time on all SKU's to hit an accurate forecast. You need to make your own mind up with the forecast, which give you a good ongoing monitoring/feeling of the general goods flow.

Vendor Response

Dear Christopher, Thank you for the review and your comments which we will use to improve our software. Thomas Frahm, CEO

A timesaver

I have been working with Fashionboard for a few years now, and it is real time saver. It helps me to quickly se a forecast for both sales and stock developments. In Fashionboard I have all the information I need (sales, forecast, incoming orders and history) collected in one place and it is quick and easy to jump between the 330 articles I’m monitoring.

PROS

I like that it is easy to use, and I have quick access to a wide range of information.

CONS

My least favorite part is inplementing new product, this part could be smoother in my opinion.

Reasons for switching to FashionBoard

The old system was very difficult to learn for new users

Vendor Response

Hi Lene, Thank you for your review of FashionBoard. We are happy that you feel that you are able to save time by using FashionBoard and we have noted your comments on forecasting for a new product. Kind regards Thomas

Great Planning Tool

Now we can decide how many pcs, and when we are buying, not a only computer calculating the pcs. We can start working with booking of capacity and booking of fabric, and get some better lead times Great Service and great tool

PROS

Fashion board gives you a great overview, and let you take the decisions. You have all the information you need in one screen, no needs to use different of Power BI and clicking around in your system, to find the best forecast

CONS

At the moment, there is really nothing I don’t like about Fashion Board

Reasons for switching to FashionBoard

To get a better overview

Vendor Response
