For fashion retailers who can spend millions of dollars there are solutions available on the market. However, the initial cost is huge and the implementation and use are complicated.

Darwin has been developed with those retailers in mind.
Darwin is a standard, packaged solution.
This means that all users work with the same software and that there is no bespoke software. This guarantees continuity and prevents the customer from becoming the prisoner of his own version of the software. Two to three times a year there is a new release. The development of new functionalities takes place in close cooperation with the customers. This has led to an “industry best practice” solution.
Darwin runs in conjunction with the existing ERP, which remains in place. Turnover, stock, commitments and article master data are automatically imported. There is no manual data entry and this ensures that you always work with up-to-date information.
