Article Mascot "It beats the crystal ball" in Company Clothing Magazine Danish workwear supplier Mascot International has implemented A3. Michael Grosbøl MD from Mascot explains in a recent article in Company Clothing: "Before Mascot could use its ERP system (SAP AFS, Ed.) to monitor turnover figures, but we could not get a qualified input to future demand per style, colour and size. We could see what customers were ordering last month, but we are interested in what a customer will be buying tomorrow. Since A3 has been implemented, stock has been reduced already whilst the same service level is maintained". At the end of the article Michael is asked if he would recommend A3 to similar companies. He replies: "The only reason I wouldn't, is because I am afraid they would gain a competitive advantage".

New module Sales and Division Season planning A3 has extended its planning solution with a new module for the planning of a new season far before sales start, with the financial Country and Division targets as a starting point. The Countries make their sales plan, the Divisions make the product group & range plan, all guided by their central financial targets. Finally the sum of the Country sales plans and the product group & range plan of the Divisions are synchronized. This new module is fully web based, so sales offices and the divisions can easily work with it using the standard Microsoft Internet Explorer. | ||||||||||||||||||||
