Overview: Greensboro, N.C.-based VF has been around for more than a century, starting out as a maker of gloves and mittens and growing into the world's largest apparel company. VF's business units were operating as silos, with legacy systems of varying sophistication. One of the company's first steps, therefore, was buying an enterprise resource planning system from SAP AG. ERP was fine for core transactional processes, but it didn't address VF's need for good supply-chain planning. In particular, it couldn't distinguish items by size, an essential capability for apparel makers. VF went looking for a stand-alone planning system.
