Implementation Investments
Bombay Industries and Alex Cannon Implement NGC's RedHorse® Apparel ERP Software in 45 Days
NGC ® (New Generation Computing®) announced that Bombay Industries and Alex Cannon have implemented NGC's RedHorse® software, a complete ERP solution that is designed specifically for Fashion, Apparel and Footwear. The system was deployed in production at both companies in a record time of 45 days.
RedHorse is an ERP system that includes EDI, order processing and allocation, inventory and production control, import management, shipping and financial accounting. The RedHorse Executive Dashboard makes it easy to access real-time business data and monitor Key Performance Indicators such as sales, profits, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other critical business functions.
Alex Cannon, a leading men's casual sportswear brand sold in better department and specialty stores, selected RedHorse in May 2007 after extensive vendor evaluation. "We were impressed by the ease of use of RedHorse and the strength of NGC's technical support team," said Maya Mehta, controller for Alex Cannon . "The availability of NGC's support staff here in New York City was a key factor in our decision."
Bombay Industries, a private label menswear company, appreciated RedHorse's out-of-the-box capabilities. Rudy Lewis, Senior Manager for Bombay Industries, found that few modifications were necessary to effectively manage their business. "For the modifications that did arise, NGC's Professional Services staff was quick to meet the challenge," Lewis said. "This was a breath of fresh air after working with other vendors that could take several days to address critical implementation issues."
"Bombay Industries and Alex Cannon are prime examples that rapid ERP implementation is possible with the strong apparel-specific capabilities of RedHorse," said Alan Brooks, president, NGC. "NGC worked closely with the companies, and we're delighted that they're already starting to see a strong Return on Investment."
RedHorse is part of NGC's SQL Series, a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to transform supply chain efficiencies in the Fashion Apparel, Retail and Footwear industries. The series also includes e-SPS® for Global Sourcing and visibility and e-PLM® for Product Lifecycle Management, and can be deployed as integrated, end-to-end solutions or best of breed.
