Fashion companies are almost entirely dependent on bringing goods in from multiple global sources. Fashion retail chain Anchor Blue is no exception. The problem was, it had little control over its supply chain operations. The company had no visibility into where goods were and it was taking on average three-and-a-half days for product to move through the distribution center. The lack of visibility led stores to order more product, which increased inventory costs. And if goods were lost, it took dozens of phone calls to resolve the problem while the store went without merchandise.
