Questions about the platform, the solutions or the process? Here are answers to the things teams most often ask about how FASHIONBOARD helps fashion and design brands make better decisions.
FASHIONBOARD isn't only about data and technology. It's about creating clarity in complex decisions and giving teams a shared foundation to work from - which is why many of the questions are about process, collaboration and implementation too.
A software platform for the fashion and design industry that brings data, processes and decision-making together in one place - so brands get overview, turn data into insight and make better decisions across planning, buying, replenishment and product data.
Fashion and design companies that want a stronger decision basis across the value chain - those working with collections, stock control, forecasting and product data who want more confidence in their planning.
It reduces uncertainty in decisions - challenges with forecasting, buying, inventory bound, replenishment, product data, or a missing overview across teams and systems.
It's built specifically for the fashion and design industry - on the workflows, challenges and decisions you work with every day.
Yes. FASHIONBOARD is several solutions that can be used on their own or combined. Many companies start with one area and expand over time.
No. FASHIONBOARD works alongside your existing systems and typically integrates with ERP system and other data sources, so existing investments are used to the full.
It depends on your needs, data and integration wishes. The process always starts by aligning goals, processes and data - we're typically integrated within 4-6 weeks from the start.
It helps you decide based on data rather than gut feeling - leading to better forecast accuracy, more efficient buying, less inventory bound, higher availability and a stronger shared decision basis.
It's made for the fashion and design industry and built on one idea: making complex decisions simpler. By gathering data, processes and insight in one platform, you plan, invest and act with more confidence.
It helps brands forecast demand and plan buying on a more solid basis - turning historic sales and business insight into forecasts and recommendations that make it easier to balance stock, availability and tied-up capital.
Typically historic sales, stock, order data and other business data, plus supplier information (lead times, MOQ and box sizes) and seasonality.
Yes. FASHIONBOARD combines data-driven recommendations with human insight, so the forecast can always be adjusted for market conditions, campaigns or other factors.
Yes. It's built for the fashion and design industry, where demand shifts with seasons, campaigns and changing customer behaviour - the forecast accounts for historic patterns.

Yes. Forecasts and planning can run at different levels - including style, colour and size.
Yes. FASHIONBOARD can bring data together across markets, customers, channels and locations, so planning is based on one shared overview.
Accuracy depends on data quality, history and market conditions. FASHIONBOARD is built to support more precise forecasts over time and make deviations and trends easier to spot.
Buyers, planners, supply chain teams and management responsible for forecast, inventory bound, availability and buying decisions. Sales also benefit from the shared understanding of how buying works.
It helps brands make more confident investment decisions for new collections - gathering relevant data and insight so it's easier to judge which styles to invest in, and how much.
Demand Planning focuses on forecasting and planning existing items and NOOS. Style Investment focuses on new collections - helping you judge which styles to invest in before sales begin.
Yes. It supports investment frames and budgets, so teams can plan the collection within their financial goals.

Buyers, merchandise planners, sales, product managers, collection leads and management working with assortment and investment decisions.
Yes. It's built to support decisions early, so investments and priorities can be set while the collection is still taking shape - letting you adjust course before changes get expensive.
It helps you invest more confidently in new collections - more transparency in the decision, better prioritisation of capital and a stronger basis for meeting market demand.
It helps brands optimise reorders and keep the right products available when customers want them - analysing sales, stock and demand to support more precise replenishment decisions.
It helps reduce both stockouts and unnecessary inventory bound, giving more overview of the goods flow and a more efficient replenishment process.
From relevant data such as sales, stock, demand and other planning parameters, to give a stronger basis for ongoing replenishment.
It brings more confidence to replenishment - higher availability, fewer lost sales, lower inventory bound and more efficient use of capital.
A unified solution for product data and digital assets - product descriptions, specs, images and other content in one place, so the whole organisation works from the same data.
It gathers and structures product data that's often scattered across spreadsheets, folders and systems - better overview, higher data quality and more efficient workflows.

It depends on company size, data complexity and integration needs - we typically see 4-6 weeks from start to finish.
Relevant business systems such as ERP system, e-commerce platforms and other data sources. The options are clarified as part of the implementation.
