The critical importance of design and product development 

Unprecedented volatility, more styles and options with smaller order quantities and a move to on-demand fashionare driving greater complexity, speed to market and margin pressure in the fashion supply chain. As brands and their supply chain partners respond to these challenges, fast, efficient and sustainable design development, with seamless buyer and supply chain collaboration, is critical to increasing speed to market, reducing costs and improving margins.

Why change?

Sustainable design and product development collaboration

The largely manual and disconnected systems used to manage the complex processes associated with the design and development of new styles are unsustainable. Brands need to optimise and automate key processes from design, material and product development (including tech packs) to sampling, costing, supplier capacity management, order allocation and purchase order tracking. Providing a single source of the truth across the business and with supply chain partners is critical to increasing the speed, efficiency and sustainability of new style development and production.
