About McGregor Fashion Group
McGregor Fashion Group is a leading European fashion house that focuses on the design, purchasing, marketing, distribution and sales of high-end, brand name menswear, womenswear and childrenswear.

Challenge
Hoping to streamline its supply chain processes while cutting costs, McGregor was looking for a way to print its barcode labels in house rather than outsourcing as it had been doing in the past. Unable to find a software product that would interface properly with its ERP software, Intentia Movex, it were forced to continue outsourcing the printing of their EAN-13 barcode labels, resulting in higher costs and less control than desired.

Solution
After researching several barcode printing software solutions, Print Studio was selected as the platform of choice. Print Studio integrated seamlessly with McGregor's supply chain management system, allowing labels to be printed as needed at locations throughout its operation. The result was a significant savings of both time and money, as well as much greater control over the quality of its labels, completely eliminating the need to outsource label printing.

  • Drastic cost savings through the elimination of out-sourcing
