VF Solutions goes with a customized collaboration tool to turn out more
RFP’s, faster, and more efficiently
The Business Challenge:
VF Solutions needed a better means to coordinate and communicate when formulating
their responses to customer RFP’s during the sales process. The desired
tool needed to be flexible and easy to configure/easy to use. The VF Solutions
group did not want to depend on its IT department in order to make minor changes
to the solution.
Client Profile:
VF Solutions is
part of VF Corporation,
the world’s largest apparel company. VF Corporation is comprised of
over 60,000 employees in 22 countries and has over 100 years of experience.
VF Solutions provides unparalleled experience, innovation, customer focus,
and ongoing program management and is the global leader in designing, implementing,
and managing uniform and career apparel programs.
The Answer:
XMi Technology was able to leverage its knowledge of this particular business process
as well as technical tools to architect a solution that its software developers
then designed and built. XMi Technology started with the foundation
technology, and our developers customized the platform to meet VF Solutions'
needs—without having to change its own processes to conform to the tool.
The Results:
VF Solutions is now able to inform/involve the entire team and account
for all areas of responsibility during the RFP process on a real-time, online
basis. The response formulation is less stressful, takes less time,
and the Sales group can develop more RFP's using the customized tool developed
by XMi Technology. Other departments within VF Solutions have heard about the
success of the tool and its ease of use, and several are now exploring how
Workplace and XMi Technology can help them solve their business problems too.
