Integrated Specification Development
Time and resources are wasted when product specifications are developed across disparate systems. A single source of product and process knowledge enables Teamcenter users to execute the specification development process in less time and with fewer errors. Robust capabilities for artwork and pitchsheet/pattern development, color, fabric and trim management, lab dip tracking and sample management, costing/bill of materials management, reporting and forecasting, and 2D/3D markup all contribute to a more productive and effective specification development process.

Sourcing and Global Collaboration
SH&F companies are typified by complex, global supply chains, including many sources of materials and contract production. Siemens PLM Software's new offering provides integrated supplier relationship management including highly automated RFx generation and evaluation. The ability to take specifications digitally from the platform and securely, rapidly and accurately distribute them to the global vendor community, enables improved due date performance and reduced vendor-related costs.

Microsoft Integration
Most SH&F companies utilize desktop software to execute various design and planning activities. These companies will be able to use the familiar Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel applications as “live” user interfaces to the Teamcenter platform that will hold all of their styles, line plans, calendars and specifications. With the release of Teamcenter 8, a Teamcenter “ribbon” is added to the Microsoft Office™ toolbar, making it easy to interact with product information and workflows directly from within Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.

“TCS understands the challenges faced by the fashion and apparel industry and provides technology solutions that help them enhance customer responsiveness and introduce new products faster. Teamcenter for SH&F provides the integrated solution to the industry to address the challenges,” said Pratik Pal, Global Head of Retail and Distribution, TCS.

“We continue to create value for our customers through fully integrated industry solutions that help manufacturers remain competitive and achieve operational excellence,” said Regu Ayyaswamy, vice president, Engineering and Industrial Services, TCS. “Teamcenter for SH&F is a pioneering solution that caters to the needs of the growing global retail, apparel and soft goods market. It encapsulates predefined templates and processes of retail industry thus making it easy to deploy and reliable to use.”
