Spanish retail group, in Inditex, one of the superstars in the
fashion retail industry in the recent years. In2005, Inditex
reported 21 percent sales growth to $8.51 billion. That puts
Inditex ahead of H&M, the world leading purveyor of cheap-
chic apparel, which posted $7.87billion in sales. Zara has
more than 1000 stores in 31 countries. The fashion industry is
a special industry. The products they deal with are highly
perishable, and they are susceptible to seasons- gross margin
is meaningless if the product does not sell as planned. For
many retailers, 35 to 40 percent of the total merchandise being
sold at hefty discount is quite the norm. Zara contributes
around 80 percent of group sales by concentrating on three
winning formulas on which to base its fresh fashions: short-
lead time, lower quantities, and more styles. With an in-house
design team based in La Coruna, Spain, and a tightly
controlled factory and a distribution network, the company
says it can take a design from drawing board to store shelf in
just two weeks. That lets Zara introduce new items every week,
which keeps customers coming back again and again to check
out the latest styles. With new styles being developed and
introduced frequently each style would provide only around
$20000-$300000 of retail sales, a far lower figure than those
other retailers or brands, and certainly not “cost-efficient” in
terms NMIMS Global Access School for Continuing
Education (NGA-SCE) Course : Information Systems for
Managers Internal Assignment Applicable for June 2016
7. Examination of design and product development cost.
Moreover, Zara’s success is all the more surprising because at
least half of its factories are in Europe, where ages are many
times higher than those in Asia and Africa. To maintain its
quick inventory turnover, however, the company must reduce
shipping time to a minimum. The fast-fashion approach also
helps Zara reduce its exposure to fashion faux pas. The
company produce batches of clothing in such small quantities
that even if it brings out a design, that no one will buy, which
happened during an unseasonably warm autumn in 2003, it
can cut its losses quickly and move on to another trend. This
higher cost of product development however, is obviously more
than adequately compensated by higher realized margins. The
result is that Zara discounts only about 18 percent of its
product, which is roughly half the level of competitors.
Information and communications technology is at the heart of
Zara’s business supply chain. Zara’s quick response to the
market, and its high speed from design table to store shelf are
enabled through four critical information related areas.First,
constant collection of information on customer needs. Trend
information flows daily, and is in turn fed into the database at
the company’s head office. Zara outfits its store clerks with
handheld computers to record sales and customer comments,
and then integrates the collected data with design,
manufacturing, and distribution functions. Designers check
the database for these dispatches as well as daily sales
numbers, using the information to create new lines and to
8. modify existing ones. Thus, designers have access to real-time
information when deciding with the commercial team on the
fabric, cut, and price points of a new garment. As a result, the
company can spot trends early on- a rather critical quantity in
fashion relating- and adjust stock accordingly within days.The
second is standardization of product information. Different or
incomplete specifications and varying product information
availability normally add several weeks to a typical retailer’s
product design and approval process. Zara, however, stored
the product information with common definitions, allowing it
to prepare designs quickly and accurately, with clear-cut

manufacturing instructions.The third is product and inventory
management. Its inventory management system is able to
manage thousands of fabric and trim specifications, design
specifications, and physical inventory which gives Zara’s team
the capability to design a garment with available stocks, rather
than having to order material and wait for it to arrive.Zara’s
distribution management approach is its final advantage. Its
state-of-the-art distribution facility functions with minimal
human intervention. Approximately 200 kilometers of
underground tracks move merchandize from Zara’s
manufacturing plants to the 400 plus chutes that ensures that
each order reaches it right destination. Optical reading devices
sort out and distribute more than 60,000 items of clothing an
9. hour. Zara’s merchandise does not waste time waiting for
human sorting. Source: Motiwalla, Luvai, and Jeffrey
