Combining ENOVIA's expertise in product design and development with Zymmetry's expertise in sourcing and manufacturing creates a compelling offering which will “un-black” the black box of sourcing.” The solutions will be based on DS's PLM 2.0 and its V6 platform, a single platform for managing all product lifecycle business processes, available to anybody anywhere, spanning engineering groups, business and end users.
Zymmetry is part of the Wing Tai Group of Hong Kong (WingTai) and has customers ranging from global brands based in the United States, to large global manufacturing enterprises based in Asia. Its solution for the apparel industry, called “Zymmetry Sourcing” is a supplier relationship management solution which incorporates workflow not only for product development but also for translating projected demand into finished good commitments.
According to an AMR Research report entitled, Fast Fashion: Get Ready, Apparel or Not, integration is a must. “Technology supports many cycle time and supply chain programs, and integration across the various handoffs is critical. Whether you're vertical or on the supply side, planning, product lifecycle management, and sourcing and procurement applications (whether via ERP or best of breed) you need to be connected to reduce time and keep everyone working in the same direction.”
