Flaire: Reinventing the Operating System of the Fashion Industry
Reena Sudan, CEO and Harish Chandramowli, CTO
“The problem” according to Flaire CEO Reena Sudan “is that most tech innovation thus far has been concentrated on consumer-facing initiatives, leaving brands to rely on a set of antiquated and disconnected systems to operate their business day-to-day. The result is incomplete and unreliable operational data, which makes it very difficult to sustain efficient and profitable growth.”
Fashion brands and retailers understand the essential role that effective technology plays in keeping supply chains moving and boosting their bottom line. Sudan continues, “Our mission is to bridge the gap, empowering brands by streamlining workflows and providing actionable, data-driven insights.”
Flaires supports the end-to-end needs of growing fashion businesses. Its comprehensive ERP solution encompasses everything, from purchase order management and vendor communications to inbound shipments and product information, all within a single platform.
By integrating seamlessly with warehouse solutions and sales systems, including Shopify, Flaire offers real-time operational visibility and enhances decision-making processes across the entire business.
