XFIT Fashion - Intelligently-reduced rate of returns

Software solution for intelligent size determination in mail order trade, online shop and corporate fashion

Mail Order Trade

You know your customers, XFIT Fashion knows the correct sizes!

Returns caused by size & fit problems are a considerable cost factor for the standard mail order trade and e-commerce. Polls have shown that size & fit problems account for between 19 and 78 percent of various clothing products in the stationary trade - and the rate of returns in the mail order trade is correspondingly high.

The reasons for returns caused by size & fit problems are multifaceted –

  • Differing and/or outmoded tables of sizes for private brands and externally-manufactured products create size & fit inconsistencies.
  • Individual customer wear preferences are not taken into consideration when recommending sizes.
  • The „Look and Feel“ of the shipped products does not match up to the ideas and expectations, the customer had when he or she ordered the items.
  • Current customer feedback on returns is non-specific and cannot be used for systematic size & fit improvements.

The number of returns caused by size & fit problems can only be reduced if the customer orders the right size.

The solution? XFIT FASHION!

With XFIT FASHION, you can now deliver ordered items in the correct standard sizes to every customer - without body dimensions, scanning and independent of the various manufacturers‘ size tables.

Corporate Fashion

You can provide apparel for entire companies and XFIT Fashion knows the sizes!

The market for corporate fashion is both highly competitive and international.

Suppliers can achieve more profitability and competitiveness in two ways - through service innovations as a way out of price competition, or by means of more efficient process development combined with cost reductions.

The reasons for high process costs are –

  • the expensive trying-on of garments, which creates high costs for size & fit collections and personnel
  • continuously re-occurring try-on procedures for new employees and/or product changes involved in the outfitting of a company‘s personnel
  • high additional costs with contingency stock planning caused by imprecise sizing allocations
  • Loss of time and additional costs caused by manual acquisition of order data on site

Thanks to accurate determination of sizes for individual employees and optimal logistics management on the customer‘s premises, service quality and efficiency in corporate fashion projects can now be decisively improved.

The solution? XFIT FASHION!

XFIT FASHION determines the correct sizes for individual employees and makes size requirement projections for entire outfitting procedures. XFIT FASHION also supports electronic order process chains.

The basics:

To determine sizes, XFIT FASHION uses the existing order data of the company‘s customers and individual employees - the system then determines the correct sizes for new employees and products, based on this data. Size recommendation is completely independent of the clothing tables and sizes systems of various manufacturers and suppliers.

Order determination takes place electronically on the customer‘s premises. The order data is electronically transmitted to company headquarters. Thanks to the flexibility gained through networking with the company-internal DP infrastructure, XFIT FASHION can be used as a stand-alone solution for field service organizations.
