Transforming Apparel Business with Apparel No Tatsujin

The launch of the Apparel No Tatsujin sales management system marks a significant step towards digitizing the apparel wholesale and manufacturing industry. Developed by Pressman Co., Ltd. based in Chuo, Tokyo, this specialized system aims to resolve the complexities faced in inventory management, especially SKU handling, which has too often relied on outdated methods like Excel spreadsheets and handwritten documents.

Background of Development

In today's fast-paced retail environment, many apparel companies struggle with inefficient analog systems that result in scattered data, personal dependencies, and frequent errors. The Apparel No Tatsujin system addresses these issues by aligning with the specific commercial practices of the apparel wholesale sector, thereby contributing to the overall digital transformation (DX) of the industry.

Overview of Apparel No Tatsujin

Apparel No Tatsujin is designed to streamline the entire workflow typical in apparel wholesaling—from order placements to supplier contracts, pickup, shipping instructions, deliveries, and invoicing. The system operates on the no-code platform Kintone provided by Cybozu, allowing users to quickly gain access without extensive IT knowledge.

Key Features of Apparel No Tatsujin

1. Efficiency in Workflows
- Cloud integration enables accessibility and real-time performance tracking.

3. Tailored for Apparel Wholesale

4. Kintone Functionality
