With nearly 60 stores in 26 states, LA-based Love Culture, founded in 2007 by Jai Rhee and Bennet Koo, is poised to become a major player in the young ladies fashion apparel, footwear and accessory market. The company is guided by a vision that real women, independent, fully-empowered and confident, drive innovation in fashion. This vision has brought Love Culture success, recognition and an enthusiastic following by fashion-conscious shoppers "in the know."
Love Culture is one of today's fastest-growing retail brands, with plans to open 25 new store locations in 2012. To support the company's ongoing expansion, Love Culture recently selected the Epicor Retail SaaS solution, which delivers its acclaimed Store, Merchandising, Audit & Operations Management and CRM modules.
"We offer what today's savvy shopper is looking for: the latest trends and fashion that are both high quality and reasonably priced, delivered within a fun and dynamic in store experience," said Brenda Morris, chief financial officer for Love Culture. "Our legacy 'home grown' retail systems have supported our growth to date with nearly 60 stores nationwide, but to position us for our next wave of growth we need retail technology that will scale seamlessly to support our long-term growth plans.
"We selected the Epicor Retail SaaS solution because it offered us best-of-breed retail functionality that is tightly integrated and turnkey, taking the onus off of us to be the IT experts," said Morris. "We were impressed by the Epicor team and the very strong references from other retailers using the Epicor Retail SaaS solution. It became clear through conversations with other Epicor Retail SaaS clients that Epicor is indeed the industry leader in delivering a SaaS solution to specialty fashion apparel, footwear, and accessories retailers. Moving to the SaaS solution leaves us free to continue to focus on having the right product, people and strategy execution in place to continue to successfully expand the Love Culture retail enterprise."
Love Culture stores feature a huge selection of fashions and accessories, including clothing, jewelry, bags, sunglasses and more, which are constantly updated with the hottest new styles. Morris says the company expects to leverage the Epicor solution's powerful functionality for improved efficiency and decision making in several key areas: managing store inventory levels more effectively using the Epicor solution's Allocation and Automated Replenishment module, and thereby increasing margins, reducing stock outs and stock rebalancing, and using the centralized, integrated price management module to easily execute the right pricing strategy in each location. Rich analytical tools will allow Love Culture to make and execute business decisions quickly through the Epicor solution's interactive analytics.
"If it's hip, trendy, stylish and fun fashion, you can find it at Love Culture," said Clifford Perlman, director of Business Development for the Epicor Retail SaaS offering. "We applaud Love Culture for its breakthrough success and distinctiveness in what can be a crowded retail market segment, as well as its savvy approach to retail operations. From our first meeting with Love Culture it was evident that the company wasn't just interested in the Epicor SaaS solution to refresh its retail technology; they saw the investment as an opportunity to further the adoption of industry best practices. We see this as the beginning of a beautiful partnership."
