Children Worldwide Fashion x e-SCM: Digitalization at the service of a new strategic supply chain organization

As part of a new strategic supply organization, the Children Worldwide Fashion (CWF) has launched a project to digitize its upstream supply chain.

e-SCM supply chain management solution was chosen to strengthen the business tools of the Supply teams, secure exchanges, monitor suppliers, and provide visibility into the progress of production and the transport of finished products. This approach thus supports the company's ambitious growth strategy.

Why did the CWF group choose to digitize its upstream supply chain?

It was the implementation of a new internal organization enabling the optimization of collaboration with its suppliers that spurred the use of digitalization of supply processes and thus created a 360° vision .

e-SCM supply chain management solution was chosen because it addresses technological and business challenges by enabling:

Strengthening the operational efficiency of the CWF Group : the adoption of the e-SCM solution has enabled the company to absorb strong brand growth by processing large volumes over a season thanks to real-time management of end-to-end production across the supply chain. CWF has reached a new level in terms of volume management.

Improving supplier relationships : Centralizing information on the e-SCM collaborative platform facilitates sharing with all stakeholders. All decisions are made collaboratively and tracked in real time. This enhances the dynamics of communication and the quality of work.

Facilitating change management : the ease of implementation enabled the smooth and seamless adoption of the e-SCM tool by all of the group's suppliers. Buy-in to this type of solution is a key factor in the project's success.

Promoting cross-functionality in the approach : all Supply Chain stakeholders are involved in the e-SCM platform for easier management: internal CWF services (quality/compliance, purchasing, import), suppliers (factory), testing laboratories, freight forwarders, logistics provider.

Ensuring product traceability and compliance : the workflow system offered by the tool enables comprehensive product traceability. This allows for compliance with regulatory and consumer requirements. Data is collected end-to-end, providing tangible and verifiable evidence.
