The Mana Club brings together, rewards, and surprises faithful customers.

In the field of customer relationship management, we are developing numerous activities and increasing the usefulness of the Mana Card. Customers may become members of the Mana Club, which brings numerous benefits. All

customer purchases are converted into bonus points. The Mana Club has 300,000 activ members who regularly buy items in our stores.

The information system which supports the activities of the Mana Club enables the direct communication and an active relationship with Mana Club members. Various information concerning numerous new items and current offers is sent to Mana Club members.

LOGISTICS 

Textile production and sales are globally oriented, which means that transportation routes are long. On a little less than 264 ship containers and almost 44 truck deliveries we managed to transport 11,631 m3 of goods, which is 7,5 million pieces of mainly textile goods. 

By combining all logistical processes, we achieved a better functioning of logistics and a more thorough overview of the

logistical movement of goods. The logistical process begins by creating the size of individual transportation packages with the objective of using the space of the transportation means and packing suitable quantities for individual stores.  

The implementation of the modern handling of goods and simplification of receipt procedures of goods which are carried out on 5,500 m2 of storage surface, enables us to deliver products to all sales outlets in a timely manner.

The modern and carefully planned logistical process enables us to send out over 175 tons of goods every month. 

ENVIRONMENTALY FRIENDLY

Waste management control was centralized in our logistics department. Because we are an environmentally-friendly company, we carry out waste management control in accordance with valid legislation in our central warehouse as well as in our stores where we organized waste separation. 

By separating our waste, we are rationally reducing municipal waste and contributing to the ecological awareness of individuals and society.

In the field of energy, we are taking measures to improve energy efficiency. This way, we managed to reduce the consumption of energy needed for the lighting and cooling of sales surfaces. We check the supply power of electricity in all power consumption locations. We installed trial LED lighting. This lighting reduced the release of heat into the

environment, and additionally saved electrical power. The new LED technology is used in exterior lighting

elements and as additional influence on the reduction of ecological damage.

Hangers are a necessity in every store in order to present the clothes. We collect damaged hangers and send them to the manufacturer who once again uses them in production.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We have donated over 1,000 different clothing to humanitarian movement Red Cross and other charities for socially

disadvantaged families.

We work together with secondary schools and thus enable students to perform their mandatory internship. We also work together with the Unemployment Office in connection with trial work periods and employing hard-to-place workers.

TOGETHER, WE ARE STRONGER

We pay much attention to the care for our employees. Creating conditions for a pleasant, orderly, and well organized work environment which enables the employees to feel well and increases their motivation is among our main

priorities. Therefore, we offer our employees a number of other benefits:

• Health and safety at work

We follow all statutory obligations in the field of health and safety at work. Accordingly, we regularly carry out

employee training in the field of health and safety at work, as well as fire safety.We inform our colleagues about the prevention and maintenance of good general health.

• Informal socializing

We try to connect our employees with the company as much as possible, even by means of informal socializing. For this purpose, we organize various social gatherings, picnics, day trips, and business conferences, where we get to know each other better by socializing, exchange experiences, opinions, and we create a nice atmosphere. 

• Communication with employees

Our employees can operate successfully and can be happy with their work if they are informed by the company in an

appropriate and timely manner. We place the greatest emphasis on personal

communication; however, we also inform our employees by means of our webpage, email, and notice boards. This way,

our employees are regularly informed

concerning the happenings in the company and information is being exchanged.

• Education

Our employees are professionally equipped by means of constant training. Most frequent are in-company trainings and classes which are carried out quarterly. There, the participants are familiarized with the new developments in the field of sales, particulary fashion trends and outfits. We also prepared practical workshops in fields which are suggested by employees working in retail. 

We made a significant step in the field of personnel development by implementing annual interviews.
