Rubicon Retail implements Merret supply chain package

Filed in archive Implementation on November 12, 2006

Retail Solution Specialists Merret has recently implemented the latest version of their Supply Chain solution into Rubicon Retail (owners of fashion brands Principles and Warehouse).

According to Fiber2Fashion, the reasons for this are varied, but some of the more common include: There is no realistic pathway/process to upgrade Perceived Commercial/Business Risk (Fear of Change), Cost (Internal overheads and External charges), Resource Availability (Key Personnel), Time (Duration of process).

It is because of these and various other reasons that many retailers decline upgrades and therefore fall short when it comes to benefiting from new and improved functionality from their existing supply chain solution provider.

Leading fashion retailer, Rubicon Retail, however has recently upgraded to the latest version of the supply chain software provided by their IT partner Merret.

Having worked closely with Merret over the past three years Rubicon felt confident that Merret could deliver enhanced functionality whilst still maintaining their package solution and at a minimal cost to the business.

The upgrade project was achieved within a 16 week timeframe across both the Warehouse and Principles brands.

The upgrade involved the implementation of a completely new version of the Merret supply chain solution across Rubicon's Head Office and Distribution Center.
