FOB Direct has
been in fabric and garment manufacturing in China and other countries for
over 25 years. The company supplies to department stores, specialty chain
stores, brands and wholesalers with clients across UK, USA, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. Managing production of good quality garments and
fabrics from China and Asia is the key area that the company wanted to
strengthen through implementation of new technology.
FOB Direct
used two in-house custom built systems for over a decade. Managing the
customization was slow, expensive and running servers for remote access was
a financial drain. FOB Direct felt a Cloud-based system was required to
successfully coordinate the complex business operations across regions and
to save on the IT Infrastructure costs. FOB Direct chose WFX because it did
much more than what their present systems did, at half the cost and was also
on the cloud.
"For a
complete system that saves on having to run servers and at a totally
affordable cost on a per user basis WFX ticks all the boxes."
"We chose WFX because it is a complete
end-to-end product life-cycle solution with a fully integrated task
management by exception. It offers multi-currency costing and a good T&A
system. Our staff is able to view the entire production operation and can
easily assign tasks to other users. Management now has a quick overview of
over-due and one-time tasks on their screen. The online training of WFX and
support has been excellent and far better than I have seen from other
companies and is very user friendly."- says Warren Bird, Owner.
FOB Direct
manufactures fabric and garments for clients worldwide. The company is dedicated
to ensuring their global clients benefit from the powerful ability FOB has to
