If I asked someone to travel 1 city block to grab an envelope that contained $10,000 located atop a box in front of a coffee shop BEFORE anyone else gets there, they would SPRINT as fast as possible in hopes of getting there before anyone else.
However, why is it that if I approached someone responsible for merchandising, designing, developing or sourcing products in the RETAIL industry and asked them to get their products to market at the right time and at the right price AND in the right location … most of them would be forced to walk (or worse case) crawl to that metaphorical “coffee shop”?
This is not because that person wants to walk or crawl to that metaphorical coffee shop.
It is because the mix of systems and tools used are most often a combination of Assortment / Brand Management, Product Lifecycle Management, Excel, Powerpoint, ... and the list goes on.
Multiple systems and tools that require them to enter .. and reenter ... and reenter again and again the product, image, colorway, channel data needed to get their products from design to commercial delivery.
Digital fluidity is a term that fits the mission of Digital Solution Group: to extend the value of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) by taking on the responsibility of digitally integrating ALL 3rd party systems / services (SaaS), establishing Mind to Market transformation; enabling SPRINT SPEED delivery of the right products at the right time to the right market channel.
