From Pebblestone Rotterdam
in The Netherlands comes Pebblestone Fashion

pure vertical solution, targeted on the fashion industry, is a fully integrated
Microsoft Dynamics NAV based add-on, for the fashion industry. Besides apparel
this also includes shoes, sporting goods and accessories: Pebblestone Fashion.
A software solution that is Certified for Microsoft Dynamics NAV they have
launched a fashion suite for Dynamics NAV 2009, including the Role Tailored
Client version.
The product benefits
from the newest versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Its integration with
Microsoft Outlook, the export possibilities to MS Word and MS Excel, and the
possibility to use analytic and reporting services. Pebblestone Fashion
makes use of these possibilities to provide the maximum experience of
integrated innovation offered by the Microsoft platform. It is therefore also
possible to integrate with MS SharePoint. The fact that the look and feel of
Pebblestone Fashion is similar to the MS Office interface enhances
user-friendliness.
Specific issues in
the fashion industry are theme, style, color, size, width, material quality and
many more differentiating aspects around items. Together they define multiple
collections. Sometimes up to 12 collections per year. Most appropriate way of
presenting those collections is in the form of ‘matrix’. That is why the add-on
shows matrix forms throughout the entire solution. Also the number of
dimensions is unique, a Pebblestone Fashion matrix form can count up to 9
dimensions whereas some competitors that do have matrix functionality count up
to fewer dimensions.
Variants not
only concern colors and sizes, but also fabrics, designs, multiple size
dimensions,etc. Using a standard ERP-solution makes it very laborious to enter,
maintain and view information. Pebblestone
Fashion has solved this by offering very flexible matrix functionality, both in
standard two-dimensional as well as in more advanced multi-dimensional
matrix forms, throughout the whole solution.
As experts in a
single market and Pebblestone offer a high level of support to end-customers
due to their in-depth knowledge and understanding of the fashion industry and
business.
