Fast Growing Youth Fashion Specialist Invests in IT


Manchester, UK 11th August 2003

Cheltenham based Cult Distribution has chosen XeBusiness as one of its IT partners to implement an information system to manage its fast growing UK sales, distribution and sourcing operations.

XeBusiness will implement its flagship product Xe-ERP to facilitate quick, accurate and flexible response to sales demand and to help manage and reduce trading costs.


Commenting on the IT project Managing Director of Cult Distribution, Diane Savory said:

"We chose XeBusiness to help us introduce IT to our distribution systems because we liked their software, they had an impressive list of previous customers and experience and most importantly for us we liked them. As a company we do things very differently, people are our most important resource and many of our employees have been here for over 15 years, when we look at doing anything, it is the personalities involved that are the most important factor for us. When it comes to IT this is even more important."

David Cullis, Chief Executive, summarised the XeBusiness reaction to winning this contract by saying:

"We look forward to working with and contributing to the growth and profitability of this young and dynamic fashion wear company, proving once again the suitability of our product Xe-ERP for apparel fashion suppliers in the retail supply chain."
