New York, NY (PRWEB) March 09, 2015 -- 7thonline, Inc., a leading provider of cross-channel demand planning solutions to the wholesale and retail industries, announced it is sponsoring Apparel West, a premier industry event for Apparel, Footwear, and Accessories (AFA) brands and retailers, scheduled for March 25 in Los Angeles, CA. 7thonline will lead multiple Technology Topic briefings at the event that explore best practices in optimizing merchandise production and inventory using a systematic approach to capturing global demand signals—giving planners and merchandisers earlier visibility into profit opportunities and inventory risks.
Brands and retailers continue to spend millions of dollars on production and fulfillment systems to capture omni-channel market opportunities. However, many continue to overlook the demand planning process, forcing organizations to react instead of proactively managing demand signals.

Industry leaders, including Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Oakley, Patagonia, Speedo, Under Armour, and VF Sportswear, leverage 7thonline’s innovative cross-channel merchandise and assortment management platform to optimize inventory positions for satisfied customers and improved financial results. At Apparel West, 7thonline will discuss opportunities and best practices for incorporating consumer demand signals into the PLM production process to optimize inventory across all selling channels.
