JOOR
  • “B2B portals for digital orders have not only been important since Corona. The cost of a dedicated solution with setup, maintenance and support means long-term investments. The much more efficient and more pleasant alternative for retailers: Fashion Cloud.”
    -Roy Robson
  • “Fashion Cloud connects brands and retailers. For several seasons we have been sharing extensive content via Fashion Cloud with our retailers, almost doubling the number of downloads compared to our own solution.” -Pierre Cardin
  • “All my vendors think it's terrific. The best part is that I can focus on my business when I get back from market, instead of writing orders.”  -Harrods
  • “Adopting JOOR is so easy because it offers simplicity, speed, and efficiency, which are the key elements for any buyer.”  -Printemps
  • “JOOR is changing our lives! With short deadlines imposed to the sales team, JOOR allows us to instantly capture and finalise orders to start the production in time.” -Loewe
  • “With JOOR, all we need is an iPad to book orders and their follow-up tools to achieve faster order confirmations. This has led to a huge transformation for our business and great success.” -R+A
  • “[With JOOR], we are interacting with bigger global partners [as well as those at] the boutique level.  When we started we had around 500-600 partners, and out of those 90% of them already were connected to JOOR. We made life easier for our clients and for ourselves. In wholesale, JOOR is a vital organ and I don’t think that many of us are able to live without it today.” -Stand Studio
