Paris fashion retailer taps Aptos to optimize global planning

July 5, 2019

Luxury retailer Zadig & Voltaire, a Paris fashion house, is deploying Aptos Technology's Planning solution to manage buying sessions, as well as allocation and replenishment for 350 stores across 30 countries.

"We chose Aptos because their solution fully matches our planning needs," said Cécile Bonin, purchaser for Europe at Zadig & Voltaire, in a press release. "We work in an extremely dynamic sector and have a requirement for a very fast implementation. During the software selection, we considered Aptos' proven track record of happy customers, project expertise and agile deployment methodology as best credentials and true differentiators over competitors."

Aptos Planning will also support the retailer's central team as it set targets and recommendations based on budget and open-to-buy projections, stated the release.

Aptos Planning will also provide Zadig & Voltaire with the ability to optimize the allocation of products to stores and replenish based on demand and help planners identify which products are over- and underperforming per location.

"The ability to leverage this newfound intelligence coming from the market will help us be better aligned with our customers while fully maximizing the power of our new collections. In general, with Aptos, we will move from a situation of heterogeneous planning systems to a centralized platform. We expect this will further increase process transparency, orchestration and the consistency of our offer across countries," said Bonin in the release.
