K3 and AlfaPeople have launched a new partnership that will enable both businesses to continue transforming fashion and retail for good on a global scale.

Back in 2009, AlfaPeople was founded in Denmark with a singular vision: to redefine how retail businesses operate. AlfaPeople’s seamless implementation capabilities and deep subject matter expertise has garnered considerable reputation. Today, AlfaPeople is a top 1% Microsoft Partner and has featured in the Inner Circle for the last 13 years straight.

With 625 experts (including 450 certified Microsoft Dynamics professionals) spread across the world, including Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, AlfaPeople is in a prime position to leverage the combined offering of Dynamics 365 and K3’s solutions to enable smarter supply chain decisioning for its global customer base.

Through the newfound partnership, AlfaPeople will deliver K3 Fashion and K3 Pebblestone to retail businesses across the globe, with significant focus on the North America and Latin America markets.

Speaking on the partnership, Marcel Ruf, General Manager, NA at AlfaPeople, said:

“We love K3’s mission of transforming retail for good. It’s a mission that resonates with our own and is very much in line with what we’ve been doing for the last 14 years. As visionary pioneers in the Microsoft Partner world, it makes sense to partner with K3 to continue delivering the best resources and solutions possible to our clients.”

Later this year, AlfaPeople and K3 will both be heading to Microsoft’s Community Summit – the world’s largest, independent gathering of the Microsoft business applications ecosystem.

K3 cannot wait to meet up with the AlfaPeople team and connect with the wider Business Central ecosystem to discuss additional opportunities on how we can further transform fashion and retail for good.

In the future, K3 and AlfaPeople have identified significant opportunity within Latin America to promote sustainability initiatives. The region has lagged slightly behind the rest of the world regarding CSR and ESG, and therefore there is great scope for the partnership to deliver solutions that enable brands and retailers to better handle their sustainability initiatives via K3 ViJi, alongside K3 Fashion and K3 Pebblestone’s dedicated CSR module.

Kimberly Morgan, Chief Commercial Officer, Fashion Portfolio, at K3, commented:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to team up with AlfaPeople, a tremendous force in the Microsoft Partner ecosystem. Our partnership represents a significant step forward in accelerating our mission to bring K3’s solutions into North America and Latin America markets as we continue to enable fashion and retail brands to digital transform their business for good!”
