The intricacies and challenges of the Fashion industry
A fragmented Fashion value chain
Unlike other sectors, the fashion industry is fragmented. The leading 100 fashion brands worldwide only account for roughly 40 percent of the total market.
With an infinite number of players spread across the globe and a value chain with multiple formats, we are witnessing the emergence of greater business complexity, a lack of transparency and collaboration, resulting in higher operating costs.

Lacking fashion specific processes
The fragmentation of the value chain has been exacerbated by hyper-specialization. Over the past few decades, each step in the value chain began using task-specific solutions tailored to distinct user profiles. While this approach optimizes individual steps, it also results in creating silos, ultimately increasing overall fragmentation and the associated challenges.
The imperative of sustainability
In this opaque environment, implementing effective CSR strategies becomes even more critical.
There is a need for robust traceability mechanisms to monitor and verify each step of the supply chain. Businesses must conduct detailed impact assessments to measure and improve their footprint. Compliance with escalating environmental and labor regulations is imperative. Finally, clear and transparent communication of sustainability efforts to end-users is essential for fostering consumer trust and creating a distinct brand identity.

To enhance Fashion processes
3 areas of expertise must be improved and interconnected
Create
where visionary ideas come to life
Manufacture
where digital designs are transformed into tangible products
Market
where fashion products and data are delivered to consumers
By refining processes within these areas, businesses can address the prevalent issue of complexity, which often arises from constrained resources and a fragmented value chain. At ¹ú²úAV, we offer a distinct and powerful value proposition tailored to each of these core activities.
But this is not enough. Success in fashion also hinges on harmonizing these activities to ensure they complement and reinforce each other, allowing brands to navigate the ever-shifting market landscape. This synchronization is vital for meeting evolving consumer demands, seizing new opportunities, and thriving amidst constraints.
Ultimately, it paves the way for sustained growth, long-term profitability, and sustainability.
Unleash the full potential of digitalization
At ¹ú²úAV, we leverage a combination of layers based on Industry 4.0 principles to meet the unique needs of each Fashion business. Our solutions framework is built on 4 interrelated layers, which together offer a comprehensive and technically advanced approach that is unique to ¹ú²úAV.

Technologies 4.0
Technologies 4.0 (Cloud Computing, Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI)) provide the essential infrastructure for the collection and analysis of large-scale data, enabling real-time insights and automated decision-making.
Fashion Data
Fashion data, when combined with Technologies 4.0, enhances the effectiveness of processes by optimizing operational workflows. This integration ensures that insights derived from data continuously inform and improve processes, driving greater efficiency and business performance. Additionally, it brings transparency and enhances the product/brand experience for the end customer.
Processes 4.0
Processes 4.0 streamline workflows within each core domain and facilitate the overall coordination between them. This aims to reduce lead times, enhance quality control, lower costs, and improve the customer experience, all while addressing social and environmental impacts and adapting to the business model chosen by fashion companies.
Part of the processes, traceability ensures transparency and accountability throughout the supply chain, from fibers to final products.
