Guaranteeing data reliability and information sharing Currently, communicating and sharing information about collections is done via e-mail and photocopies between the three main locations. Dozens of paper reports go back and forth and, for the most part, information updates are done informally.
With Lectra Fashion PLM, all those involved will have a single version of the information updated in real time and available at all times. Moreover, configuration of user roles will give them access to the information guaranteeing that work progresses according to plan and that lead-times are observed.
Controlling sourcing in China Thanks to Lectra Fashion PLM, Gloria Jeans will also be able to supervise denim and non-denim development and sourcing more efficiently. This joint working platform will enable the Shanghai office to optimize the management process dealing with calls for tenders, the choice of sub-contractors, prototyping and quality assurance.
Planning collection development to make better decisions With Lectra Fashion PLM, Gloria Jeans will have all the right tools for sticking to budgets and deadlines. The company will be able to sequence collection project phases, give priority to key operations, synchronize tasks and identify bottlenecks in real time. Good workflow management will help Gloria Jeans lower collection costs and speed up time to market.
Supporting the change-over A team of Lectra consultants will work hand-in-hand with Gloria Jeans to provide support for the PLM project. They will analyze the development cycles and processes specific to Gloria Jeans and its organization, so that Gloria Jeans can benefit from all the industry's best practices and integrate Lectra Fashion PLM while respecting the collection constraints and production lead-times already under way.
