Apparel and Footwear Industry
With brand proliferation and shift in power to retailers, the manufacturers of global Apparel and Footwear brands are trying to differentiate through sophisticated design and supply chain capabilities. We have been working with Apparel, Footwear and Style Goods (AFS) companies like Nike, Adidas and Fossil to help them attain these capabilities. Our involvement with AFS companies like Nike and others for the last 5 years have allowed us to build deep domain expertise in this industry.

Some of the recent engagements we have executed in the Apparel & Footwear Industry include:
  • Demand Planning assessment at Adidas-Salomon: Bristlecone provided the necessary expertise to Adidas-Salomon in evaluating Adidas’ plans for implementing a Demand Planning solution for its European operations.
  • eCommerce capabilities at Fossil: Bristlecone assisted with the development of Fossil’s B2B and B2C eCommerce capabilities. We helped design the interface architecture for connecting the web front end with the SAP backend infrastructure thus enabling business process threads like “order to cash” and “procure to pay.”
  • Planning solution at Nike: Bristlecone developed and deployed planner DA and Supply Chain Policy Manager, two composite pre-configured applications that allowed Nike to enforce higher level supply chain policies without having to deal with voluminous SKU Level demand and supply information. The composite apps leveraged Nike’s existing infrastructure including the ERP and SCM systems.
