• helping brands make maximum profit

— This is what DC PLATFORM do.

Only controlling all the manufacturing, supply chain & resources are integrated and make the practical application that can make sure the apparel company, factory/manufacturer, fabric supplier and designer all to get the best benefit they should deserve.

More importantly, how to solve the problem of apparel supply chain between the upstream, midstream, and downstream that can really push the adjustment of apparel industrial structure, and push this industry to upgrade again.

DC PLATFORM focuses on solving those Four Problems for Apparel industry and What is Four Wins?

1)High inventory rate

The most troubling for apparel brands is higher inventory rate, it always says that one stock garment inventory loss of 3 items profit. To achieve “no inventory” is the target of every apparel brand dealer. In the traditional operating mode, brands & manufacturer spend more time on supply chain resources cohesion, to prevent the long waits caused by the replenishment order, people have to place enough or bigger quantity of types stock, this can easily cause inventory problems.

Let’s say that we only need the quantity ensuring that each store only receives just want they need, and it also ensures that the best selling item can be replenishing during the season, so that it can “sell-out one and replenish one, re-order on Sales Analysis Data”

2) Best-selling products cannot be replenishment in time

This problem is actually an extension of the last question, because most brands always have a predicted cycle of 6 to 10 months to prepare their goods in advance, but will those designs popular after 10 months? It’s very hard to say.

In fact, will your style get a good seller or not? It can be easy to see the sales trend while selling at the first/second weeks on stores, using the sales analysis data then you can know whether you need to replenish this style or not and how many you need. But the problem is that how you can find a quick response factory making the bulk for you? Most stores always distressed about this situation.

DC platform will be closely aligned with the front-end store sales analysis data; Once the best seller products need to be replenished, the corresponding factories can be arranged re-order in time also ensure that the goods will be delivered by air within 7 – 10 days. In other words, the store can only predict the sales trend of the next week. It greatly reduces the predicted cycle and improves the accuracy of the prediction. That is to ensure that the replenishment of the best seller and avoids the unmarketable style overstock.

3)Design development and terminal retail disconnected

At present, many new designers are very creative and have their own style, brands often cooperate with designers and other studios to develop the new style.But how to make sure that every finished product can meet the fashion trend and sell well? It is too late to check by the market, how can we verify it early?

DC PLATFORM gathered global designs, we have three channels to provide design options for brands, No matter the design comes from the top fashion of European, North/South America or the individuality studio in Asia, it has maintained close cooperation with DC Platform, with the development direction given by the senior commodity planning consultant, those designs not specific to one brand, or one single age layer; DC Platform offers a strong compatibility of products and positioning styles for you choose.

4) Enhance Brand Influence – The most important for a brand

The most important thing for a brand to do is to focus on the front-end of designs and the back-end of retails; Choosing designs it should comply with the requirements of the fashion trend, also they should be unique and conform to your brand image; For retail side provides a more considerate and positive experiential service, which can complement each other.

DC platform think that they’re the core of the value of two important ports, solving requirements with our cooperation strategy “we help you grow then we grow”. On DC PLATFORM, providing you a full set of apparel supply chain system, gathered global designs, help you maximize your value & profit.

The apparel industry has been developing rapidly in the direction of structural change from the characteristics of labor-intensive industries. DC Platform is taking the effort to using these upgraded products grow together with our customers.

On the other hand, the implementation of the “quick response and rapid re-order” model benefits not only the apparel brands, people who joined in this supply chain such as designers, brands of merchants, fabric suppliers, manufacturers can obtain the great benefits from it.

The society and economics need development and make progress, only one of the party move forward is not enough, only the ascent of the whole parties can drive the implementation of the supply chain moving more smoothly and quickly, then we can have a profound impact.

How to adjust the structure of the apparel industry and adapt to the change in demand. DC Platform B2B is proposing such this quick response and IMS(Intelligent Manufacturing System) business model to meet customer’s requirements.

Using the demand of consumer to drive brands to upgrade, then drive the supply chain to make a quick feedback and quick response (Our ultimate aim is that of Four Wins: consumer satisfaction/brands/designers/manufacturers get the maximum profit.

It is bound to be supported and concerned by the consumers or merchants/suppliers of this industries.

“The future of economics will be in China,” says the economist Ronald Coase, and the future of the textile and apparel industry should begin in the present.
