    - CIMS V7.6 Delivers 80 New Enhancements to Prologic's Integrated System
for the Fashion & Lifestyle Sector



    Fashion business systems provider, Prologic, has announced the latest
release of CIMS, the integrated-channel software for fashion & lifestyle
companies. CIMS V7.6 includes over 80 new enhancements to the core CIMS
system. Examples of important new capabilities include:


    
    - Major extensions to CIMS channel capabilities with new sub-channel
      structures 
    - Channel calculations and prioritisation down to warehouse bin
      level 
    - New SOA/XML infrastructure to deliver modular business services
    - Transparent stock visibility at unit, pack, carton and pallet level
    - Extensions to CIMS Cube reporting to deliver world class data 
      aggregation


    Early adopters of CIMS V7.6 include Ted Baker, Paul Smith and Turner
Bianca.



    Sam Jackson, Chief Executive of Prologic, says, "CIMS is specifically
designed to help fashion & lifestyle companies adapt quickly and cost
effectively to new business opportunities, whilst maintaining strong control
over processes and operations. With CIMS V7.6 we are releasing over 80 new
enhancements, all of which are relevant to the fashion sector."



    Commenting on the benefits of using a single version, single database
product such as Prologic CIMS, Jackson explains, "The implementation of
centralised information systems and integrated business processes has helped
many of our customers to be more successful and to leap ahead of their peers.
Whether you retail through your own stores, franchise, wholesale, or sell
through mail order or the web, CIMS can manage every aspect of your business
operation, from merchandise planning, through supply chain management to the
point of sale and the consumer website. All delivered as a single integrated
whole."



    The Prologic CIMS model is based on responsive and continuous improvement
to a single version, single database product. Because all Prologic customers
operate within the fashion & lifestyle sector, functional improvements are of
value to most customers. This means that the rate of functionality
enhancement is far greater than could be achieved by each customer making
their own bespoke improvements. The model also means that customers benefit
from the stability, low cost and robustness associated with a single version
software product.
