Get Connected: E-Applications in the Textile and Clothing Sector

This study focuses on how developing country producers could successfully apply new e-applications and secure post-quota exports in light of the changing nature of the textiles and clothing business after January 2005, when quotas were phased out. The study elaborates principles to guide exporters in adopting e-applications so as to develop fruitful long-term relationships with major buyers. It also presents examples of exporters in developing countries that have successfully found approaches to integrate their systems with those of customers/suppliers.
