Fashionizer, creators of couture uniforms, have developed an online ordering and management portal service letting clients work out their order and adjust their requirements online before submitting it.
Once logged in, the client is able to see images of the full range of garments in their own uniform collection.
From there, they can make their selection across the whole range, choosing the quantities in each size and style they require.
The system automatically creates a quote and the client can then choose to submit the order, or save it and come back to it later to make any changes.
This enables the user to present their potential order as a quote to their financial department, for example, without commitment.
It is only when the order is submitted that it comes through to Fashionizer for delivery.
The client can change their order as many times as they like before placing it, giving them control.
The system, which also has a lookbook and measuring information, creates an efficient reordering and stock management system.
It works on laptops, iPads and tablets and can be accessed online anytime, anywhere.
Unlike standard online ordering, this system allows the client to place an order for bespoke garments that are not already in stock.
Dorota Ziolkowska, sales and marketing manager, said: “We designed the portal because it reflects how things work in the real world. For example, a client might know that they want to order, but aren’t in full possession of all the information they need to place a definite order. With this system, they can create a new order with their ‘best guess’, then return to it later when they might have more information about garment quantities or sizing needs.
“Another benefit is that the client has all the information they need in one place. Help is provided by the Look Book section on the portal, which displays all their designs in a clear and visual way and shows how their bespoke garments fit together. There is also a useful measurement chart.”
Insys, which specialises in providing technical solutions for companies in the fashion and textile industries, developed the tool. The first client to use the system was Six Senses Spas, which placed their first order through the portal in August.
