Case Study: Ariat achieves greater apparel supply chain visibility with QIMAone

Ariat Partners with QIMA for Apparel Supply Chain

Ariat, a US-based leader in equestrian and work footwear and apparel, sought to improve visibility and collaboration within its apparel supply chain. The global disruptions of the pandemic heightened the need for a digital solution to enhance communication and quality management with its supplier network. To address this challenge, Ariat partnered with quality control provider QIMA to deploy its QIMAone digital platform.

The implementation of QIMAone provided Ariat with a 360-degree view of its supply chain, enabling real-time issue spotting and streamlined vendor communication. The platform automated routine tasks and empowered suppliers with self-inspection capabilities. This solution from QIMA led to a more proactive management style, a reduction in the need for third-party quality control, and decreased overall QC costs for Ariat.
