Information Service for the European Footwear Industry

Objectif



The Footwear Industry is an important sector and Footwear SMEs cover a wide range of activities and needs ranging from materials selection (leather etc.) and procurement, to fashion and products design, up to products promotion and sale. The geographic range of these activities exceeds the frontiers of a single country, expanded to a pan-European scale and even broader.

There exists a well established chain of relationships starting from the suppliers of the raw materials up to the final products sales points. These relationships concern the raw materials selection and price negotiation by the products' manufacturers (leather products and producers) fashion follow up and consultation, designs selection and trade, product fabrication and promotion to products fares and sales chains.

The project objectives focus on the introduction of electronic information exchange in almost all the activities of the Footwear industry:

- electronic images of different kinds /qualities of raw materials leather and tissues can be prepared in a form of catalogues including quality characteristics, prices etc.,
- electronic catalogues of fashion presentations can be prepared and accessed by marketing managers of SMEs,
- the associated design drawings can be available in electronic form to be selected and traded for absolute or common use over the network,
- -catalogues of the final products can be prepared by manufacturers and made available via the network to sales chains responsible in a kind of permanent fair.

The project will assemble major co-ordinating institutions of related SMEs of the Footwear sector in several EU countries, which will undertake the role of preparing, maintaining and running a service providing useful information, such as that described above, to their members.

The service will be provided over a public data or telephone network available in each of the countries that will subscribe to it. It will be flexible enough to adapt to the specific network infrastructure and will be upgradable in parallel to the evolution of the telecoms infrastructure.

Local databases will be kept in each of the country service providers maintaining the information generated locally. All local databases will be interconnected. The information will be composed of texts graphics and images and there will be prevision for the future availability of video.

Basic functionalities of the service will include browsing, querying, and trading.

The user terminals will be PCs running the MS-Widows operating system and user interface.

The project will start with the user requirements specification and a market research. Extensive consultations will take place among the Consortium partners to determine the content and extent of information that should be provided by the service, the identification of information sources and the level of co-operation between the service providers. Based on the user requirements, the functional and the system technical specification will be defined. The design of major parts will be accomplished regarding the Network, the Database and the WWW server.

The important issue of the copyright acquisition will be resolved early in the project. The realisation of the information service will be started with the source information collection, its processing and organisation. A material processing phase will follow for their conversion into the appropriate digital formats.

The structuring of the servers and the creation of the templates appropriate for the implementation of the different types of complex documents (profiles, catalogues) will be accomplished prior to the development of the prototype information service. This version of the service will be installed at the various sites, along with the communication equipment and the supporting tools. The final version will be used for the pilot operation of the information service. Training courses will be organised on aspects relevant to the operation and maintenance of the service. Testing and evaluation activities will be undertaken by end-users and service providers.

To achieve a high degree of project results exploitation, it is essential to give publicity to the project and to promote the project products. The promotion activities will include the organisation of seminars, exhibitions, advertisements registration to selected leaflets and electronic means, the distribution of printed information material, and the direct communication with people or enterprises.

EL.KE.DE SATRA and INESCOP are members of EURIS (European Association of Research Institutes for the Footwear Industry). Thanks to this co-operation in the near future the ISEFI system can be applied in all EU countries.
