Midlands Fashion Accessories Supplier Belle Jewellery Chooses XeBusiness


Manchester, UK 23rd May 2005

Leading Leicester based fashion jewellery and accessories supplier Belle Jewellery has chosen the XeBusiness IT system Xe-ERP2, to support its rapid growth as a specialist supplier to the retail sector.

The XeBusiness system will underpin the company's on-going customer service and trading cost management programmes in streamlining their product sourcing and distribution operations. The system will also support their retail store based concessions outlets by synchronising procurement and replenishment with sales demand.


Commenting on the award of the implementation contract to XeBusiness last week, Ian Nicholson, General Manager of Belle Jewellery said:

"Over two detailed presentations of their software, XeBusiness took the time to quickly customise their standard product to reflect our specific requirements to enable us to decide in favour of their system on a 'seeing is believing' basis. "In fact," he added, "their consultant provided us with a number of ideas to streamline our warehousing and distribution operations by applying functionality within their system to these areas."

David Cullis, Chief Executive of XeBusiness in response said:

"I personally attended one of the presentations we made to Belle's management team given that their product area was an interesting one for our software to handle. It was gratifying that the software proved a good fit and we look forward to working with other suppliers in this and other fashion accessory related areas."
