A3 at Mascot

Mascot International A/S develops, manufactures and markets high-quality workwear. Over the years Mascot’s success has increased continuously. The company now employs approx. 170 people in Silkeborg/Denmark and approx. 2500 people abroad. Mascot has sales in both Denmark and other European countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and Ireland.

Michael Grosbøl MD from Mascot explains in a recent article in Company Clothing: "Before Mascot could use its ERP system SAP 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 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".
