Nowadays 70%[1] of fashion brands have enrolled some sort of online solution to enable retailers to restock their shop inventory. This is often a basic scenario focussed on digital order intake for replenishment. What does your setup look like and are you getting enough out of your current solution? Does it have a wow effect on your customers? Does it make life easy for your customers? Is it smart? Does it communicate your brand story?

A good digital order intake process is the first step in the digital transformation of your wholesale channel. At Colect we started with our Ipad app specialized in digital order intake but slowly added more digital storytelling features like the digital lookbook, shop-the-look and ultimately our new Digital Showroom product.
We see this development towards digital storytelling also emerge in our B2B shop solution.
