Mulberry has partnered with Episys to ensure all its products are labelled correctly and consistently, while cutting costs and labour time. The luxury brand recently announced its seventh successive year of growth, a rise in profits and an increase in orders.
It also revealed that it is adding 50 new staff to its Somerset factory to help it meet the demand for products. Ian Scott, Supply Director at Mulberry, says: “We produce hundreds of thousands of labels every year from our Ultimate labelling solution, and our partnership with Episys will grow with our business. Ultimate is business critical to us. When you’re printing such a high volume of labels it’s crucial that we have a robust system. Our goal is to make sure that we meet the customer’s demand, that is an important challenge for us, and having the right labelling solution is a huge help.”
Mulberry uses the Ultimate solution to print its labels across seven different locations, which includes its warehouse in Somerset, from where all products are distributed, its four retail outlets, head office and distribution office in London.
The labels provide a range of information, mainly size, UPC (unique product code) and barcode information for employees and consumers.
