“Next Level Apparel knew that to grow, it had to transition to digital demand and inventory management. Upgrading its technology stack and processes has helped the brand improve supply chain visibility and has provided the ability to optimize inventory and keep on top of changing consumer demand.”
Using the Logility platform, Next Level Apparel can better:
- Optimize its inventory and production strategy to eliminate a surplus of supply and the additional costs that come with oversupply,
- Position maximum sell-through,
- Accommodate highly fluctuating consumer buying behavior, and
- Respond to spontaneous product demand and new market opportunities, which have been amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Although early in our adoption, our team has experienced great success with Logility. Their team of experts made our transition from legacy systems and manual processes to total digital supply chain management an easy experience,” said Paul Volkman, CIO at Next Level Apparel. “We expect efficiency, without question, but also plan to gain greater effectiveness through our new digital approach to supply chain management.”
Before implementing the Logility platform in January, Next Level Apparel used a mix of Excel spreadsheets and a legacy proprietary ERP system to manage its supply chain. Now, Next Level Apparel uses Logility’s planning technology in conjunction with Microsoft Dynamics ERP. The integration between Logility and Microsoft Dynamics helps Next Level Apparel synchronize activities, gain time, accuracy and efficiency.
“The pandemic has exemplified supply chain complexities and has shown organizations the manual way of doing things must be replaced for digital solutions,” said Allan Dow, president of Logility. “Next Level Apparel knew that to grow, it had to transition to digital demand and inventory management. Upgrading its technology stack and processes has helped the brand improve supply chain visibility and has provided the ability to optimize inventory and keep on top of changing consumer demand.”
