The young Swiss fashion label NIKIN is one of the success stories of the sustainable fashion industry. Since its founding, the company has experienced impressive growth: revenue increased tenfold in the year following its inception, and the team doubled in size last year alone.
To technically map this strong growth effectively, NIKIN relies on the expertise of NAS conception GmbH from Düsseldorf.
Why NIKIN sought external technical support
Although NIKIN is a purely online label, the internal team eventually reached its limits in terms of technology.
NIKIN CEO Nicholas Hänny describes it as follows:
“While we are an online label, our technical skills are insufficient in some areas.”
As business increasingly boomed, it quickly became clear:
A professional, scalable ERP system is indispensable.
Cloud ERP, Office tools, Power App: NC365 solutions in action
Under its NC365 brand, NAS conception provided a complete cloud solution that adapts flexibly to the needs of the rapidly growing startup.
The following were introduced, among others:
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central – as a cloud ERP
- Microsoft Teams – for telephony & collaboration
- Office 365 services – for productive work
- a custom Power App for time tracking – developed specifically for NIKIN
Before the collaboration, time tracking was still done via Excel. As the number of employees increased, this method quickly became impractical. The Power App now provides an efficient, digital, and scalable solution.
A new telephone hotline for customer service and special Teams phone numbers for international manufacturers were also implemented.
Nicholas Hänny emphasizes:
“The solutions created by NAS conception help us a lot; it is a huge relief.”
Sustainable fashion meets modern technology
NIKIN is particularly well-known for its sustainable philosophy. Products such as TreeShirts, TreeBoxers, or TreeCaps are enjoying growing popularity in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
A decisive success factor:
For every product sold, a tree is planted – a concept that inspires customers and clearly positions NIKIN.
NAS conception supports the company closely in this, as CEO Andreas Eickel describes:
“NIKIN is a great company. We are pleased to be able to support its success.”
Communication between the two partners takes place several times a week via various channels.
Flexibility in licenses, solutions, and processes
NIKIN particularly values the high flexibility of the NC365 solutions:
- Licenses can be added or removed at any time – ideal for changing team sizes
- Adjustments can be implemented at short notice
- Microsoft updates are integrated efficiently
- Swiss specificities, such as the popular payment by invoice, were fully considered and integrated
Nicholas Hänny summarizes:
“The NC365 solutions provide us with the flexibility we need.”
