Our Client

A fast-growing fashion brand was relying on spreadsheets and shared drives to manage styles, materials, and inventory. As the business scaled, it required a structured and connected system to manage product data and vendor collaboration while maintaining agility.

The Challenge

There’s no single source of truth. One system may handle order management, but product development, costing, and forecasting remain manual. Teams spend time searching for files instead of focusing on design and delivery. Leadership seeks a solution that can be easily integrated, support growth, and remain simple enough for everyday use.

Pierrepont’s Three-Phase Approach

  • Discovery & Requirements

    Week 1-2

    We begin by mapping how teams work, identifying pain points and data gaps. Through targeted interviews and workflow analysis, we define where integrations or automation will have the greatest impact. The output is a concise set of aligned business requirements.

  • Vendor RFP & Selection

    Week 3-6

    We lead the evaluation and selection process, drafting RFPs, coordinating demos, and benchmarking platforms. Pierrepont supports setup, configuration, and migration planning, ensuring the chosen system replaces fragmented tools with one workspace.

  • Business Adoption & Training

    Week 7-12

    We document workflows, train lead users, and provide onboarding materials so teams can self-manage the platform. Structured checkpoints and performance metrics drive continuous improvement and ensure sustainable adoption across the organization.

  • Scalability

    As businesses grow, data consistency and governance become critical. System implementation establishes taxonomies and role-based access controls that scale.
