The organization initiated the project to achieve its following key objectives:

Replace legacy systems and Excel-based inventory management processes.
Track grey fabric throughout the complete production lifecycle.
Enable end-to-end lot and batch traceability.
Improve operational visibility across multiple warehouses and production units.
Automate production planning, workflow management and inventory transactions.
Establish accurate production costing and inventory valuation.
Manage bonded warehouse inventory more effectively.
Centralize oversight across multiple business units so communication can also be improved between departments.
