Fashion has its own rules – and creativity has its own system.
Most times we get one and the same reaction: When people understand the GTS principle, they are often amazed by how easy, logical & practical our approach is. With GTS, we connect our Industry’s creativity, its DNA & heart with a new, efficient system or organization, something many experts never thought would be possible.
The result is a powerful, global instrument, which makes it easy to request important product information, in the same way as we have long become used to viewing our online bank statements.
None of the key business topics of our time, such as Corporate Social Responsibility, Circular Economy or Sustainability are possible without reliable data. If our sector continues to rely on manually generated data, we will never reach the level of performance which our consumers understandably expect from us…and, which our planet now requires in order to ensure a sustainable future.
