The Inditex Group also includes world-class brands such as ZARA, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Stradivarius, Bershka, ZARA Home and Uterqüe. Stradivarius has more than 560 stores in 41 countries. The modern and spacious stores offer customers a wide range of clothing and accessories, with a youthful, casual and imaginative style.
With the accelerated development of global trade and the booming e-commerce, the apparel industry is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. As a subsidiary of the Inditex Group, the Stradivarius brand undertakes key tasks such as Stradivarius brand design, production, circulation, and supply chain data management. In order to improve the efficiency of smart warehousing software, enhance the inventory positioning and query system, and realize the intelligent and automated logistics management and commodity classification and label management, it is particularly important for the Stradivarius headquarters to build a smart warehouse management system. This system needs to make full use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analysis, and artificial intelligence to create a supply chain data management software that is efficient, flexible, and scalable. After comprehensive comparison and analysis, the Stradivarius brand headquarters chose Gallop World IT in May 2020 to develop their own smart warehouse management system for the Stradivarius brand.
