Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
for apparel manufacturers
The critical importance of design and product development
Unprecedented volatility, more styles and options with smaller order quantities and a move to on-demand production, are driving greater complexity and margin pressure in the fashion supply chain. As brands and manufacturers respond to these challenges, an increasing involvement in design and development, offers the opportunity for added value services and margin protection, as well as ensuring the necessary pre-production activities are completed for an on-time start to production. 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 development processes
The largely manual and disconnected systems used to manage the complex processes associated with the design and development of new styles are unsustainable. Manufacturers need to optimise and automate key processes from design, material and product development (including tech packs) to sampling, approval, costing and PO tracking. Providing a single source of the truth across the business and with supply chain partners (buyers and suppliers) is critical to increasing the speed and efficiency with which manufacturers can develop and produce new products.
