Case Study: Goldcity streamlines fashion retail planning with GMDH Streamline

Goldcity cuts ordering cycle from 30 days to 1-7 days with GMDH LLC

Goldcity, a family-owned footwear manufacturer, faced significant challenges in predicting short and fluctuating fashion trends for its sports shoes and sandals. This led to frequent overstock and out-of-stock situations. Their forecasting process, reliant on Excel and manual data extraction from their ERP, was inaccurate, slow, and lacked credibility, making it impossible for teams to collaborate effectively. To address this, they turned to vendor GMDH LLC for a solution.

GMDH LLC implemented its Streamline software, a comprehensive S&OP program customized to fit Goldcity's specific needs and integrated with their SAP system. The solution resulted in a dramatically improved ordering cycle, reduced from 30 days down to 1-7 days, and a significant reduction in buffer stock. This provided clear visibility into stock levels and created a single, trusted forecast for the entire organization. The new cross-functional work system fostered team trust and resulted in huge savings, including the ability to cancel unnecessary purchase orders within two months of implementation.
