OAKLAND, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/01/13 — Crocs will display its cloud supply chain strategy for improving supplier collaboration during a live webinar on October 4, 2013. The webinar, moderated by Kevin Burke, President and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA), will feature Scott Hadwiger, Director of Supply Chain Finance at Crocs, along with Kurt Cavano, Chief Strategy Officer at GT Nexus. The online event will examine ways to improve efficiency on the financial side of the supply chain to reduce costs and improve visibility.
“Supply chain efficiency is one way brands and retailers can enhance their performance in a very competitive marketplace,” said Burke. “I am excited to hear from Crocs about their experience in moving to cloud-based business practices. This webinar will offer the industry a valuable perspective on managing complex global supply chains and the essential role reliable partners like GT Nexus can play in driving growth.”
