Visionet Transforms Michael Gerald Ltd. Operations Using HauteLogic for Microsoft Dynamics 365
Visionet Systems, Inc., a leading technology solutions company, announced today the successful rollout of HauteLogic, their flagship supply chain management suite, for Michael Gerald Ltd (MGL). Michael Gerald is a California-based casual lifestyle apparel company known for its popular apparel brands including Retrofit, Xtreme Gear, Method, Commerce, and Trash Nouveau. Built on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations ERP platform, powered by Microsoft Azure Cloud, Visionet’s HauteLogic apparel industry solution will digitize and streamline MGL’s internal and partner-facing business processes, laying the foundation for long-term growth and success.
HauteLogic is a comprehensive & modular fashion industry solution that addresses the needs of fashion businesses of all kinds. As a ready-to-adopt solution, Visionet’s HauteLogic will provide MGL the foundation for standardizing and digitizing their apparel wholesale processes, including product management, centralized inventory management, EDI and sourcing collaboration, by delivering fully integrated order to cash, procure to pay, advanced warehouse management, and finance on a single, unified platform. HauteLogic requires minimal maintenance overheads and will provide a robust platform for the apparel company’s sustainable future growth. The implementation at MGL includes PartnerLinQ, a solution that facilitates frictionless EDI communication between MGL and its partners, providing high-precision coordination across the entire supply chain.
“Our objective was to embrace digital transformation in all of our processes,” said Dave McCullagh, CFO of MGL. “Visionet was carefully chosen as our partner based on fashion and apparel industry expertise, to provide a comprehensive solution for us to manage every aspect of our business including planning, design, production, and distribution processes. The modularity of the HauteLogic solution has delivered us the process and data unification along with increased visibility to key business data.”
“We are very happy to be the partner in Michael Gerald’s digital transformation journey,” said Jawad Khan, SVP Professional Services at Visionet Systems. “Given their multi-branded, apparel wholesale supply chain business model, it was crucial for our solution to be comprehensive to meet their needs of not only today, but also for tomorrow.
