Case Study: Trend Marketing achieves faster, more accurate fulfillment and retailer connectivity with Aptean Apparel ERP RLM Edition

Trend Marketing Accelerates its Operation

Trend Marketing, one of Canada’s largest footwear distributors representing about 50 brands and serving retailers like Hudson’s Bay, Amazon and Nordstrom, was struggling with manual processes across a growing omnichannel business. Teams faced duplicated work across multiple systems, confusing discrepancies between accounts receivable and inventory, and slow, paper-based receiving that made locating goods and applying landed costs difficult.

By implementing Aptean Apparel ERP RLM Edition with integrated EDI and a Warehouse Management System, Trend Marketing consolidated systems, automated EDI transactions and shipping carrier selection, and automated landed‑cost calculation so goods are received directly into inventory. The result: faster receiving, higher shipping accuracy, real‑time inventory visibility via scanning and mobile devices, streamlined order fulfillment and reporting, and reduced IT overhead with a scalable cloud platform.
