Ten years ago, ecVision started out as an EDI provider with roots in Hong Kong and China. Today it has grown into a full product lifecycle and supply chain software provider, primarily serving the apparel and footwear industry, which is connecting thousands of retailers and trading partners around the world. From its US office in New Jersey, ecVision has engaged some of the biggest retailers and brand owners in the industry including Timberland, New Balance, JCPenney, Abercrombie & Fitch and Phillips-Van Heusen.
So what is it that ecVision is doing right when so many other companies are falling by the wayside? I truly believe it is a combination of factors that make an organization successful.
Our success starts with the the technology we build. In a tight economy, every "buyer" is looking to save money but still get the same or improved functionality. We can point to our ability to improve productivity by 20% to 50%, reduce costs across all spend types, provide a system from strong supplier collaboration and visibility, and minimize risk by capturing actionable information and managing the supplier network. By crossing mutliple functions in the PLM and supply chain area, we maximize the investment CXO's are making and enable everyone to see the results.
Our customer's are really #1...we just don't say it, but we mean it and show it. ecVision’s customer-centric product focus and its drive to please the user base are evidenced by its profitability and expansion. Customer retention remains at 100% and in a recent poll, over 87% of its customers plan to add more functionality to their installations in 2009.
Vision and defining the path to get there certainly weighs in when looking at marked success. In the coming year, ecVision will add functionality (new process modules including factory compliance audit and goods inspection), usability (user interface widgets and mobile extensions for wireless systems adapted from XpressRoad’s development initiatives) and configurability (UI design and improved configurability tools).
Keep you eye on us. Our proven success has enabled Private Label Retailers and Brands to benefit from our deep product Knowledge and expanding toolset. We aren't stopping yet.
