TXTPRODUCT is at the forefront of world-class PLM software for the apparel, footwear and accessories industry. Its Product Data Management (PDM) capabilities sit at the centre of the TXTPERFORM2008 product suite which offers an end-to-end PLM footprint and supports companies through each critical phase of their collection lifecycle, from planning, to development and sourcing, down to store deliveries.
Challenges facing the appareil industry are widely acknowledged: SKU and style intensity, the need to be demand-driven, ever shrinking product lifecycles and the added complexity of outsourcing and globalization.
In this context, companies rely on PDM to generate and track, change and share the hundreds if not thousands of critical information such as designs, color libraries, BOMs, samples and costs sheets that a new collection generates. Studies have demonstrated that up to the 35% of development times are spent on non-added value tasks related to lack of information. This time can be minimized with a central PDM system retrieval and web sharing capabilities. Hence, benefits of PDM include:
* Enhanced data quality: everyone working on the most current data with no duplications
* Easier inter-company and suppliers communication supporting co-design among distributed teams
* Immediate component re-use
* No time spent on data transfer which results in enhanced productivity and time to market
TXTPRODUCT helps ensure those goals are met. TXTPRODUCT provides companies with the PDM capabilities needed to generate, manage and share information across the extended enterprise.
