A major breakthrough in PLM technology
Lectra Fashion PLM V2R1 takes a huge leap forward by integrating fashion design tools and product development functions with end-to-end collection management features. Going further than any other PLM solution on the market, the V2R1 brings contributors together around “one version of the truth.” Users can share season palettes, pattern design data, and measurements charts across the entire range of Lectra Fashion PLM applications, thus securing data and eliminating the risk of errors. Having a single information center saves time on data entry, facilitates communication, and helps maintain quality standards.
Prominent Europe, for example, specializes in men’s shirts and formal wear and has recently expanded into casual wear and women’s wear. The UK-based company produces approximately 17 million garments a year and manages up to 2,000 customer contracts. It was looking for an international system to work across different languages, maintain its exemplary delivery record, and move the business towards an “at once” manufacturing system. “Lectra Fashion PLM V2R1 will allow us to speed up our processes,” said Nigel Lugg, Chief Executive of Prominent Europe. “It will link our three European offices in Spain, France and the UK, and will allow us to collaborate directly with six key Asian hubs: India, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Thailand. Lectra’s key strength is its high degree of fashion experience, which links into a global business network.”
