In a bid to modernize and digitalize its operations, World Textile Sourcing (WTS), a leading player in the textile industry, has partnered with WFX – World Fashion Exchange, to deploy WFX’s 100% cloud-based Apparel ERP software across their global business. This strategic alliance with WFX aims to propel WTS into a new era of digital transformation, efficiency, innovation, and visibility. 

WFX is a world leading provider of enterprise solutions designed specifically for the fashion industry. Their product suite includes Apparel and Textile ERP, Fashion PLM, MES, B2B Virtual Showroom and more—all of which can be implemented as standalone apps or integrated to form an end-to-end digital solution.  

Headquartered in Peru with a showroom in New York, WTS has built a strong reputation for delivering sustainable, high-quality fashion products to over 40 top brands in the United States. With a production capacity of up to 2 million garments per month, WTS is renowned for its agile supply chain, capable of achieving turnaround times as fast as 30 days. The company offers both Free on Board (FOB) and Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) trade terms, with duty-free shipping for the Americas, Europe, and most Asian countries. Their logistical capabilities are further strengthened by TSA and CTPAT certified warehouses in South Florida.

Natalí Isla, who leads WTS's digital transformation efforts, shared her insights on the partnership and its expected impact. “This partnership is a game changer. WFX’s innovative solution and sectoral expertise will help us tackle industry challenges and drive innovation, setting new standards for excellence in our sector, especially in Latin America,” Isla explained.  

Transforming Operations with Sectoral Expertise

Isla outlined the key benefits WTS anticipates from the collaboration with WFX: “The three main benefits we're looking forward to are the comprehensive coverage, custom adaptability, and WFX’s sectoral expertise. The WFX system syncs with our unique business model and provides tailored solutions, ensuring we remain agile and responsive to market changes.”

Moreover, WFX has experience of working with fashion businesses of all kinds, including textile and garment manufacturers. Isla elaborates, “we get to work with a partner that totally understands the demands of our business and our industry. They have insights and solutions that are tailored to our unique context which assures our future scalability as a textile business.” 

Discussing the challenges that prompted them to pursue digital transformation, Isla highlighted the obstacles posed by legacy systems and data silos, “we were working with legacy systems that created data silos that were blocking our path to business progress.” 

Isla's team also wanted to ensure that WTS is prepared for the future by embracing technologies to drive business growth and innovation. She adds, “overcoming resistance to change was tough, but with a clear vision and teamwork, we have navigated these obstacles successfully.” 

Future Growth & Advice to Industry 

The partnership is expected to have a transformative impact on WTS's internal operations and customer service. Isla says, “with WFX, we can offer faster response times and more personalized solutions. Their advanced capabilities make us more scalable and competitive, ensuring we provide the best possible experience for our customers.”

Looking ahead, WTS sees significant potential for growth and value creation through the partnership, “WFX will help us stay ahead of the course, drive innovation, and set new standards for excellence within our industry. I think together we are not just responding to industry challenges, but we are shaping the future of our sector.” 

In offering advice to other companies still exploring the digital transformation roadmap, Isla emphasized the importance of choosing partners wisely. It is very important for a business to look for a technology partner that not only has sufficient technical knowledge and experience, but also shares their vision and values regarding how they see the customers and the market. 

“When I say values, I'm talking about collaboration, communication, and willingness to embrace change. One of the things I liked the most about WFX is how they embrace change and that was a key for us,” she said, further adding that with the right partner, the possibilities are limitless. 

Conclusion

The partnership between WFX and WTS represents a significant advancement in the textile industry, combining WTS's extensive experience with WFX's cutting-edge technology. 

Isla praised WFX’s industry expertise and customer focus stating, “WFX’s industry expertise makes them strategic allies who understand our challenges inside out. Even though we are just starting the deployment of WFX, I'm totally confident that the results we will get will be totally referent to the industry here in Latam (Latin America).”
