Upgrades to Cloud-Based BC Solution and Continues Long-Standing Collaboration

With an international presence in more than 20 countries and a subsidiary added in 2020, Designers, Remix needed to upgrade its ERP system. Based on positive experiences and trust in the system, the Danish clothing brand decided to continue its partnership with TRIMIT. Following the successful implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Designers, Remix’s IT system is back on track with style.

Niels Eskildsen was satisfied with the TRIMIT solution they implemented 10 years ago. It worked flawlessly, and the number of times they needed to contact TRIMIT’s support team could almost be counted on one hand — annually, that is. But after establishing the subsidiary and sister brand The Garment in 2020, Niels wanted a system that could manage multiple companies simultaneously.

“We were really happy with the old solution that we started with 10 years ago, which worked really well for us. But clearly, a decade is a long time in terms of IT, so when an ERP solution is ten years old, it's actually quite outdated,” says Niels, who founded Designers, Remix with his wife, Charlotte, in 2002.

Niels continues:

“The old solution worked, but we had some challenges with it not being cloud-based, and having started a new brand that we couldn't integrate into the old solution. We had to run another ERP solution concurrently at The Garment, and that wouldn’t be sustainable in the long run.”

Fortunately, there was a solution. With TRIMIT's Fashion & Apparel base solution, they could upgrade their ERP system to handle two companies at the same time and benefit from a cloud-based IT system. Additionally, it was rather effortless for the entire staff to adapt to, as it organizationally resembled the old system in many ways.

Designers Remix was founded in Copenhagen in 2002 by Charlotte and Niels Eskildsen. The company is based upon an idea of making full use of already existing resources by redesigning, remixing and upcycling of deadstock fabrics and garments. Ever since it has been our mission to make fashion better.

Significant Improvement in Usability

In addition to fulfilling the desire for a cloud-based system that could manage both brands at once, Niels is very pleasantly surprised by how user-friendly the new system is:

“There’s no doubt that the usability of the new system is light years ahead of the old one. Some shortcuts have been introduced, and the entire user interface has just become 10 years newer. I've only heard positive feedback from the employees about the new system,” says the CEO and co-owner.

Generally, we are really satisfied with our outcome. There's no doubt about it. We've ended up where we had hoped we would. Have there been bumps along the way? Yes, there have, and there always will be. But we were up and running from day one, and we also met our deadlines in the implementation phase, even though we had planned a relatively aggressive implementation period.

Trust Based on Experience and History

That the implementation went well and they are satisfied isn't really a surprise to Niels. Over the years, he has built a high level of trust in TRIMIT’s consultants, project managers, and the system itself. And that's important. According to Niels, it is crucial to have a robust ERP system when running an international business:

“If your IT system doesn't work, your business doesn't function. The biggest concern one has when switching a system that actually works is whether the invoice matches the orders you send out. And that works excellently with our new TRIMIT update. So that part? Check. Did Henrik and his team deliver the integration on time? Check. Have we achieved the usability we expected? Check - actually with a little plus. Those employees who were initially skeptical of the new system are also pleased and happy with the upgrade,” Niels enthusiastically shares.

Last, but not least, we got what was paramount for us - that we can run multiple companies on the same platform. And if we start a new company in the years to come, we can also run that on the same solution.

All in all, it was no coincidence that Niels ended up choosing TRIMIT when they needed to upgrade their ERP system.

“I have great confidence that what we get from TRIMIT is done properly because I have over 10 years of history with TRIMIT. It's a system that has just worked and still works really well for us. Therefore, we of course hope and also believe that the new system will be just as good,” he concludes.
