Fast, efficient, sustainable product development and supply chain collaboration

Flexible and highly visual range hierarchy supports fast, intuitive roll up and drill down of key range planning and budgetary information. This includes the number of targeted styles and options at different levels of the range e.g. buyer, season, department, product type, with associated target price point and margins.

Key benefits

• • Targeted and efficient design/development.
  • Highly visual representation of progress versus plan with roll up/down.
  • Dynamic, flexible and visual representation of collections.
  • Improved style adoption rate.

Bi-directional integration with Adobe illustrator (Ai) allows designers to remain focused on creative tasks in their familiar design tools, whilst seamlessly capturing and updating critical style information directly into VisionPLM right from inception. Key information includes, images, size charts, bill of materials (BOM), critical path and sample requests.

Key benefits

• Improve creative focus and reduce designer’s admin.
• Accelerate product development and sourcing by providing visibility of key information at the earliest stage of process.
• Leverage existing material and product information using libraries and search functionality.

Dedicated and flexible module for managing the entire material development process, including lab dips, approvals, costing, specs, sourcing and critical path. Material requirement planning (MRP) allows consolidation of material demand while material supplier profiles provide a high level comparison of potential raw material and trim suppliers considering, minimum order quantities (MOQs), lead time, costs, etc. for better purchasing decisions.

Key benefits

• Drive material development, approvals and sourcing to meet overall plan.
• Consolidate material requirements and priorities across multiple departments improving purchasing decisions.
• Provide material suppliers with early visibility of requirements and priorities improving on time deliveries.
• Early warning of potential issues across multiple styles and fast ‘swap out’ of materials.

Flexible and intuitive hierarchy provides fast access to style records, which can be viewed in grid or image format to suit the user, with associated mood boards, range plans, costings and latest critical path status. With template libraries, flexible tech pack elements, multi-level bill of materials (BOM) and full version control, VisionPLM provides everything you need to create and manage even the most detailed tech packs.

Key benefits

• Accelerate product development through coordinated and shared priority tasks and milestones (critical path).
• Improved product specification reducing sample iterations, cost and time.
• Quick assessment of costing options with ‘what if’ and cross costing.。

Arrange a demo

Flexible, easy to use cut make trim (CMT), fully factored (FF) and open costings, integrated to material and production operation libraries to manage both bill of materials (BOM) and bill of labour (BOL). Full sample, request for quotation (RFQ) and purchase prder (PO) management with status updates across multiple POs, including several options for seamless remote update and collaboration.

Key benefits 

• Fast, accurate costing with full version control.
• Quickly compare options across material and other options, using ‘what if’ costing.
• Improve collaboration with multiple options for remote updating of critical path, costings, RFQs and orders.
• Repository of historic costing information, allowing for granular cross costing and year on year comparisons.

VisionPLM’s Vendor Module builds on the capabilities of FastReactPlan, the market-leading solution for production planning from Coats Digital, to provide brands, retailers, and sourcing offices with an essential tool for capacity management of high-level suppliers, the allocation of demand (forecast and confirmation) and monitoring and updating of the order.

Key benefits

• Balance demand against agreed capacity across multiple suppliers to prevent under/overloading and maximise on time delivery.
• ‘What if’ planning to model forward demand versus capacity.
• Colour-coded alerts of delivery, materials and critical path issues support management by exception and proactive action.
• Supplier updates feed latest order status ensuring all teams are working on up to date information.

Powering real time collaboration and reducing time-consuming and error prone data entry, while retaining approval control and data integrity. Collaborate on tech packs, costings, samples, and orders, leveraging instant messaging and push notifications.

Key features and benefits

• Share only the data you want in this fully secure environment.
• Collaborate in real time through instant messages, read receipts and browser notifications.
• Accept, reject or refine changes before importing them into the core system.

Arrange a demo

Integrated, highly visual critical path management across the end to end product lifecycle including material, style, colour and sample – even extends across purchase orders (POs) and material purchase orders (MPOs). Seamless roll up and drill down of target versus actual critical path ensuring priorities are aligned.

Key features and benefits

• Reduces manual tasks and admin with smart workflow to automatically update related tasks.
• Prioritised tasks provide to do lists for individuals and teams, and ensure priorities are aligned across the business.
• Colour-coded alerts support management by exception and priority.
• Failure analysis supports identification of priorities for improvement/action.
