Lybee partners with 1Office for digital transformation: When fashion meets technology

Lybee Joint Stock Company, “Vietnam’s No. 1 premium middle-aged fashion brand,” strategically partners with 1Office with the major goal of perfecting its management system, optimizing resources, and enhancing the company’s digital transformation capabilities in its new development phase.

Established in 2016, with over 6 years of operation in the e-commerce sector supplying premium middle-aged fashion products, Lybee is a familiar brand to Vietnamese consumers. The Lybee brand is famous in the fashion industry, beloved by many ladies for its beautiful designs, trend-catching styles, diverse models, good quality, and suitability for the middle-aged demographic. With its current rapid growth, the company estimates that by 2026, it will expand to 2,000 employees and open 100 offline stores in Vietnam.

Every day, the Lybee team has to process thousands of online orders, not including the number of orders at offline points of sale, and this number continues to increase on weekends and holidays… Departments assign tasks, distribute work, and report through official emails and several messaging apps, causing data to be fragmented across different systems. Given such strong growth in both personnel and scale, Lybee’s traditional operational management methods can no longer meet the requirements of inter-departmental processes.

In addition, timekeeping consolidation, payroll processing, and the request form approval cycle are being done manually. At the end of each month, the HR & Admin department has to spend a significant amount of time exporting data from the time clock to Excel files, sending timesheets to each employee for review and feedback, and handling any discrepancies that arise. Towards the end of the month, employees often have to resolve complaints about workdays and leave days. To get approval for requests related to leave, absence, or overtime, the forms must go through various departments for signatures according to company regulations, which consumes a lot of time and manpower. 

Facing the technological transformation of the 4.0 era, fashion—an essential industry—must invest more in technology to standardize processes and create breakthroughs in management, design, and production if it wants to grow strongly. 

The above are the reasons and also the great motivation for Lybee’s leadership to be determined to find a reputable unit to deploy digital technology to improve shortcomings in human resource management, and at the same time, simultaneously optimize small links, creating uniformity and consistency in the operating apparatus, improve internal communication, and gradually move towards comprehensive digital transformation for the business. With a team of experienced experts, a modern technology platform, and extensive implementation capabilities with over 5,000 businesses in various fields, 1Office has completely won the trust of Lybee’s leadership. 

Fashion embodies the concept of beauty, with characteristics of softness, creativity, and high aesthetic value, while technology tends to be somewhat dry and rigid. These two seemingly unrelated concepts intersect at a junction called “Digital Transformation.” The intersection of technology and fashion – 1Office and Lybee – will create a synergy where technology empowers fashion to expand the limits of creativity.

This digital transformation is expected to be a powerful shift in comprehensive human resource management, creating a completely new work experience for all employees, especially the HR & Admin department. This will help the business affirm its position as the No. 1 fashion brand in the Vietnamese market and expand further into the global market.
