Cutting Costs for Fashion Manufacturers

Amidst evolving consumer demands, inventory pressures and changing operational needs, garment manufacturers are hindered by time-consuming and often manual work. 50% to 60% of an order’s lifecycle is spent in pre-production, making up 30% of operational expenses. To stay ahead, companies need digital tools that drive productivity, speed time to market and reduce costs across every phase of product development.

Systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and traditional Product Data Management (PDM) cannot help enterprises optimize this product development process. ERP was designed to manage products once they are made, while PDM focuses mainly on product specs.

Centric PLM for fashion and apparel manufacturers optimizes the entire business process from ideation to retail, digitally transforming internal and external collaboration for both owned operations and partnerships with brands and retailers. Our configurable out-of-the-box PLM solutions for manufacturers are fast to deploy with industry best practices and deep apparel expertise built in. Reduce operational costs, collaborate efficiently, build a backbone for knowledge transfer that enables you to keep working smoothly despite employee turnover and easily provide partners with compliance certifications, quality control info and OEM product documentation on a single digital platform.
