Arcadia Management
The purpose of the system is to manage the approval of test reports uploaded by laboratories. The website is a central location where all test reports are housed. Three simple processes take place within the website:
The lab uploads the test reports specific to each supplier by entering their details. Read about IT Consulting
The supplier creates a Top sheet including all basic information of the line, e.g. colour, description, fabric composition etc. Once this is completed the file can be sent over to Arcadia.
Arcadia Management technologists will then view each file and choose whether to approve the line or not.
Supplier should log in on a daily basis to check for any updates and approvals
