Lectra announces that leading Canadian children's wear retailer, Please Mum, selected Lectra for the deployment of its fashion-dedicated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) offering. Lectra Fashion PLM will enable Please Mum to accelerate and rationalize its product and collections development processes and optimize the collaborative work of all participants in real time.
Please Mum opened its first store near Vancouver in 1986. Today the company provides Canadian consumers with fashionable children's wear and accessories through 86 retail outlets.
Accelerating product development and streamlining workflow management with Lectra Fashion PLM "By partnering with Lectra we see a great opportunity to shorten our product development cycle and at the same time give ourselves the possibility to push more designs through the pre- production process so that we will have more choices for the final assortment," said Anthony Findlay, Vice President for Procurement at Please Mum.
The Product Development application is at the heart of Lectra's Fashion PLM offering; it will enable Please Mum to organize, manage and share all data related to the development of a product or collection - including themes, models, materials, colors, technical specifications, patterns, bills of materials, suppliers and costs.
The Workflow Management application will allow Please Mum to organize and control activities related to its collection projects, synchronize the work of all participants involved in product development and identify bottlenecks and potential delays in real time.
