Tommy Hilfiger to open digital showroom

JANUARY 21, 2015| BY MARIANNE WILSON   

Amsterdam — Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by PVH Corp., will launch a digital sales showroom, at its global headquarters in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The showroom is designed to revolutioniz the sales experience for retailers by offering them a more engaging and seamless buying approach. The interactive system blends collection information, sales tools and brand content in one seamless touch-screen interface.

“Our digital showroom revolutionizes the buying and selling journey for our retail customers and internal sales teams,” said Daniel Grieder, CEO, Tommy Hilfiger. “Our new digital showroom concept completely reimagines the traditional buying approach and establishes a new fashion industry benchmark for business to business sales.”

The centerpiece of the digital showroom is an interactive half-meter by one-meter touch-screen table set in a sleek walnut frame, which connects to a four-meter-high wall-to-wall grid of ultra-high-definition 4K screens. Customers can digitally view every item in the Tommy Hilfiger sportswear and Hilfiger Denim seasonal collections and create custom orders with all product categories laid out across a single screen. They can view head-to-toe key looks, zoom in with incredible detail to see unique design features, and click on a garment for specific information such as color offerings and size ranges.

The product selection and ordering experience builds on a traditional sales approach, reimagined through the digitalized system that streamlines and simplifies the process. The interactive interface allows for in-depth discussions on styling, merchandising and deliveries that are tailored to each client.

The digital showroom concept also supports Tommy Hilfiger’s ongoing sustainability mission, as it reduces sample production, eliminates the need for printed order forms, and diminishes the ecological impacts of shipping.

Tommy Hilfiger will launch its digital showroom on January 21, 2015, in Amsterdam with key international wholesale partners, and the company is establishing a global roll-out plan to expand the concept into markets worldwide.

Manfaat Pengendalian Proses dan Hasil dalam suatu Perusahaan

Bisnis dengan spirit pertumbuhan berbasis nilai tambah (value added) akan memiliki peluang lebih besar untuk tetap eksis di era global. Untuk menciptakan nilai tambah tidaklah semudah membalikkan tangan. Dalam penciptaan nilai tambah itu sendiri dibutuhkan cara atau pendekatan yang sistematis, terpola dan terukur melalui pengendalian terhadap proses dan hasil sehingga terciptalah nilai tambah yang diharapkan. Penerapan mekanisme pengendalian proses dan hasil itu sendiri sejatinya memberikan banyak manfaat bagi perusahaan, diantaranya :

1. Menjamin sesuainya praktek kerja dengan kebijakan, berdasarkan peraturan perundangan, target dan visi misi perusahaan.
2. Menjamin tidak satupun resiko kerja yang tidak terantisipasi.
3. Menjamin tumbuhnya value added melalui perbaikan berkesinambungan.
    

Mekanisme kendali proses dibangun dengan tool Logic Simulation System (LSS), terintegrasi ke mekanisme kendali hasil yang dibangun dengan tool Spider Net System (SNS). LSS dan SNS diajarkan ke tim task force perusahaan, agar tumbuh dari dalam demi kesinambungannya, dengan keunggulan antara lain:

1. Pencapaian target pertumbuhan dengan nilai tambah berjalan sesuai rencana karena terintegrasinya pengembangan kompetensi karyawan dengan kinerja riil, yang diarahkan sepenuhnya mendukung pertumbuhan diatas target.

2. Tidak terjadi akumulasi kesalahan karena adanya deteksi kesalahan dini, yang sekaligus menghilangkan unsur human error. Kesalahan proses hanya disebabkan kesalahan keputusan yang berkorelasi dengan kompetensi.

3. Tidak terjadi permasalahan tiba-tiba karena adanya sistem antisipasi masalah.

4. Eksekusi kebijakan lebih cepat, disebabkan pimpinan tidak ragu mengeksekusi karena seluruh implementasi kebijakan sudah dijamin terkendali.

5. Motivasi karyawan naik karena penilaian kinerja lebih objektif berdasarkan pencapaian yang langsung diakses pimpinan secara online dan real time.

6. Terpenuhinya asas manajemen yang akuntabel (good governance), karena mekanisme kendali proses diterapkan dengan dasar-dasar mekanisme audit.

Konsep ini, LSS dan SNS, telah kami terapkan dan kembangkan selama ini dan sudah dimanfaatkan di beberapa perusahaan nasional diantaranya group Astra dan beberapa korporasi lainnya. Seperti apa detail konsepnya, Anda dapat mengundang kami ketempat anda untuk menyampaikan konsep dan bagaimana langkah implementasinya.
