Outcomes:
Thanks to the JD Edwards Apparel module, it is easy for the company to keep track of the multiple products that are created.

- Better inventory management thanks to the use of standardized product codes across all sites.
- More efficient order processing.
- Faster product launches thanks to the ability to pass down high-level design features to different colors and sizes.

such as sales order fulfilment.
