CONSOLIDATED DATA | APPAREL COMPANY

The company has acquired many big market players as its subsidiaries. The company offers men’s clothing, footwear, tuxedo rentals, and suit pressing with quality, fashion, and innovation as a central part of each product. The company has many warehouse facilities with a reliable supply chain mechanism. Globally, around 22,500 employees are providing high-touch, high-quality shopping experience across their brands.

Challenge

The client’s desire to provide upscale quality and personal touch to its clientele as well as integrity for their clothiers that is paramount to their strategy. Our client recognized that rapid brand acquisitions led to substantial information challenges on both the showroom floor as well as in the back office.

• Consistency of customer details was fragmented across stores and not at the tailor’s fingertips. Though they branded themselves as one retailer, they were inconsistent with the shopping experience.
• Consolidated views of business performance were costly in both time and labor with different Data Marts, inconsistent structures, and data quality issues. Functional silos, data redundancy, multiple data marts & reporting tools, no standard “enterprise” data model, problems with integration and delivery, data quality issues, as well as cross-team coordination, compounded the data management challenges.

Our client recognized their need for a partner with the business acuity to align with their vision quickly and the technical depth to leapfrog their capability for their next generation. Finally, they needed a partner with the agility to respond to quick decisions and priorities for prudent results. They engaged XTIVIA as their technology partner.

XTIVIA helped establish an information-delivery strategy with various stakeholders to first to consolidate all data marts into a single Integrated Teradata Data Warehouse (IDW). Real-time services for customer information introduced customer detail services throughout the enterprise on an Enterprise Service Bus. The embodiment of the solution was in a handheld, mobile application for tailors’ use with clientele during the shopping and rental experience.

Solution

Development initialized in the TuxMobile experience, and the same services were leveraged on the retailer’s eCommerce UX.
