Prontoware

English translation: fast fashion

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase: Prontoware English translation: fast fashion Entered by: Andrea Garfield-Barkworth

08:23 Nov 14, 2012

German to English translations [PRO] Marketing - Retail
German term or phrase: Prontoware This is dealing with supply in the fashion business. The sentence is talking about not having any NoS but having a lot of Prontoware instead. I take this to mean some form of immediately available goods but don't know the correct term for this in English.

Andrea Garfield-Barkworth Germany ASKER 09:02 Nov 14, 2012  @writeaway, yes for the understanding but as it is a trade magazine the initials don't need to be explained in full. Similarly with PoS. writeaway Thanks! 09:01 Nov 14, 2012  Is this what you're using for NOS: http://deu.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/textiles_clothin... ? Andrea Garfield-Barkworth Germany ASKER 08:53 Nov 14, 2012  Deswegen gibt es statt NoS auch viel Prontoware von XY's, wie im vergangenen Herbst zum Beispiel gefragte Gabardinehosen in Senf. This is the full sentence. Company XY have their own production plant making the company more flexible. Would "instant merchandise" be an idea? writeaway @freekfluweel 08:38 Nov 14, 2012  that would appear to be the most obvious answer but without some context in German, it's just a guess. I don't think that Asker wants a guess. And yes, I found that German-Italian Kudoz question too. It shows up immediately on Google. But let's wait for some context please. freekfluweel Netherlands rapidly made clothing 08:36 Nov 14, 2012  http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_italian/other/576925-pro... writeaway please post the sentence 08:28 Nov 14, 2012  in German. And maybe even a bit more than just one sentence. Automatic update in 00:
