As a result of the present trend toward digitization, corporate adaptability has become one of the most important components in assuring industrial progressiveness. The fashion sector is not an exception, as severe rivalry on a local and worldwide scale indirectly drives the demand for sophisticated, business-effective technology. As a practitioner in the Indonesian fashion industry, PT. Cipta Adhyabusana (DUST) is committed to implementing internet- of-things in their internal management for the sake of corporate competitiveness. Certainly, every business has its own issues and/or obstacles, and DUST is no exception. The internal management of this fashion company continues to struggle with data entry and production timeliness. While DUST has implemented internet-of-things-based apps that effectively control multiple aspects of their supply chain management, however, the management is indirectly hindered by the software's inability to handle the remaining components. Consequently, this research focuses on an evaluation of the current company’s utilization of the internet-of-things, while discovering the potential for development that can be applied effectively to the supply chain management in order to eliminate impediments and raise the company's efficiency and production effectiveness. The research is backed by primary data collected through interviews with key stakeholders and secondary data gained through a review of the literature. The analytical process completed by the Grounded Theory Analysis will cover three steps, which is the open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to generate a substantive theory that will be proposed as part of an implementation strategy. The outcome of the research is to upgrade the current applications with Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The CPS will be used to connect and digitize the whole supply chain process to be easily accessed real-time through sensors that is associated to the application.
