Why the Fashion Industry Requires More Than Standard ERP

Fashion projects rarely fail solely because of technical issues

The greatest risks often arise at the intersection of data, processes, and suppliers. When product structure, product numbers, inventory, the online store, B2B, PIM, and reporting all need to be changed at the same time, it requires more than a traditional Business Central implementation.
Product data must be able to handle styles, colors, sizes, seasons, drops, and collections.
Shopify, PIM, B2B portals, WMS, and 3PL must integrate seamlessly with Business Central.
Changes to SKUs and data structures may affect SEO, images, returns processing, EDI, inventory, and reporting.
Many suppliers must work toward the same goal—without losing sight of their overall responsibility.

Services

Here's how we help fashion brands

We can serve as an independent consultant, provide project support, or act as a specialist in specific areas. The role depends on your organization, your ERP partner, and the complexity of the project.

Business Central Consulting

We'll help you make the right decisions regarding Business Central, industry-specific solutions, scope, project model, testing, data migration, and go-live.

Integration Strategy

We evaluate data hubs versus direct integrations and provide an overview of the interaction between Business Central, Shopify, PIM, WMS, 3PL, B2B, and BI.

Project Management and Internal Support

We can serve as a project manager, sounding board, or additional internal resource for specific areas—such as testing, vendor dialogue, cutover, hypercare, or integrations.

List of Services

Choose the support that best suits your project

Some clients need an independent assessment before deciding on a direction. Others need an experienced project resource along the way. That’s why our fashion services can be tailored flexibly—from a brief analysis to ongoing project assistance.

Fashion ERP Readiness

A structured assessment of your readiness for Business Central—with a focus on data, processes, integrations, organization, and risks.

Integration Landscape

Overview of systems, integrations, and data flows between Business Central, PIM, the online store, WMS, 3PL, BI, and other platforms.

Integration Strategy

Recommendations regarding integration principles, architecture, and responsibilities—such as a data hub, point-to-point, API strategy, or a hybrid model.

Testing & Quality Assurance

Plan for testing, test cases, defect tracking, and quality assurance of the most important business flows prior to go-live.

Cut-over & Hypercare

Practical support for the transition itself, assignment of roles, a go-live plan, user support, and follow-up during the first few weeks after implementation.

Project Management & PMO

An experienced professional who assists with project progress, supplier management, decision-making, meetings, and coordination across tracks.

Flexible Project Support

We can also serve as your additional in-house capacity

In many Business Central projects, the challenge isn’t just choosing the right solution. It’s also about having enough time, structure, and experience in-house to drive the project forward. This is where Zealand Data can serve as a practical resource for the project—from the initial workshops through go-live and hypercare.

Before the project

Workshop on the system landscape, high-level requirements specification, evaluation of ERP vendors, and clarification of business processes.

During the project

Project management support, coordination with vendors, structuring of test cases, follow-up on bugs, and targeted assistance with, for example, inventory, procurement, finance, or integrations.

At go-live

Cut-over plan, assignment of roles and responsibilities, data preparation, user support, hypercare, and follow-up on improvements after go-live.
