How CKS Cloud Supports Fashion From Sketch to Store (and Stage)
CKS Cloud Solutions helps brands, retailers, manufacturers, and agencies run Fashion Week-level operations every day—connecting design and PLM to sourcing, production, commerce, marketing, and even model-agency finance. Here’s how we cover the full value chain:
- Design & PLM
- Integrate product data, materials, size runs, colorways, BOMs, tech packs, and approvals from your preferred PLM into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Keep creatives in their tools while finance, operations, and supply chain stay perfectly in-sync.
- Sourcing & Manufacturing
- Plan seasonal buys, manage vendors, track POs, and monitor critical path milestones.
- Support CMT/FOB models, pre-costing & margin targets, compliance docs, QC checkpoints, and lab-dip/strike-off workflows.
- Import/Export & Logistics
- Landed-cost calculations, duties/tariffs, INCO terms, multi-currency, freight, and customs documentation—all tied back to SKU-level profitability.
- Warehouse management with Tasklet WMS keeps receiving, picking, and cycle counts tight.
- Wholesale, Retail & eCommerce
- Unified inventory and pricing across B2B portals, wholesale orders, and DTC (Shopify POS + online), with real-time availability and store replenishment.
- Promotions, markdowns, returns/RMAs, and omnichannel fulfillment (ship-from-store, BOPIS).
- Marketing & Advertising Performance
- Connect ad platforms and CRM to revenue and SKU performance—attribute paid, owned, and influencer activity to sell-through and gross margin.
- Traffic-to-conversion dashboards for the CMO; inventory & margin guardrails for the CFO.
- Model-Agency Accounting & Operations
- FWA-aligned accounting, deal memo tracking, client billing, model statements, advances, and pay-throughs; integrations with FWA-compliant booking tools (e.g., Booker by FineLab) to streamline front-office booking with back-office finance.
- Audit-ready reporting and rights-usage tracking for campaigns and shows.
Under the hood: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central + industry apps (e.g., K3 Pebblestone for fashion), Shopify, Tasklet WMS, and partner PLMs—woven together by CKS for a single source of truth and “one-system” experience across your season.
