Brandix Streamlines Business Processes
Sri Lankan garment manufacturer Brandix successfully implements Lawson Fashion, which is part of the Lawson M3 Enterprise Management System from Lawson Software. Lawson Fashion is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution designed around the specific business needs and supply chain management challenges of companies in the fashion industry.
"We initially had to decide whether to build our own ERP product against the products that were currently available in the market," says Lalith Withana, executive vice president for Brandix. "After evaluating different vendors, we felt that the Lawson solution was much more suitable for our type of business. We found there was a fit, because of the functionality geared specifically for the fashion industry."
The full solution includes the Lawson Sales and Marketing Automation application with the added benefits of Lawson Warehouse Mobility and Advanced Production Planner modules. The company initially went live on the Lawson M3 Finance Management Suite in 2007, following an implementation that took less than five months.
Brandix began as a small manufacturing organization in 1965 and has since grown into a $350 million group of companies producing primarily casual pants, intimates and active wear for reputable brands. It now owns and operates three mills that produce cotton fabrics, woven products, knits and finishes. The company has a plan to grow to $1 billion in revenue by 2010.
