On March 11, 2026, Canadian Apparel Federation partner NetSuite hosted a webinar to explore how cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) technology can resolve the operational complexities facing fashion brands. A recording is now available.
The discussion highlighted key pressures on apparel and accessories companies, particularly mid-market brands seeking to scale. Challenges include managing seasonal inventory and high SKU volumes, navigating shifting consumer trends, meeting omnichannel fulfillment expectations, and coping with manual systems that impede financial visibility.
NetSuite presenters detailed how their platform centralizes operations across the full business lifecycle, focusing on three vital areas:
-
Demand Planning and Inventory Management: Tools to streamline forecasting and efficiently manage seasonal SKU assortments.
-
Omnichannel Sales and Fulfillment: Connecting sales channels and enabling efficient order fulfillment across all platforms.
-
Real-Time Analytics and Financial Reporting: Consolidated dashboards offering immediate visibility into financials, operations, and growth indicators.
The customer perspective from Summersalt, a direct-to-consumer brand, was a highlight. Representatives shared their practical experience scaling with NetSuite, detailing operational improvements and the successful transition away from disconnected, legacy systems.
The session concluded with a live product demonstration showcasing platform capabilities such as inventory tracking, order management workflows, and reporting dashboards.
