Sodexo supports accelerated growth with VisionPLM

The GSD team at Sodexo commented, “Whilst our internal and external demands for uniforms are growing fast, we were struggling to keep up with product development and production, using disconnected manual processes and tools. Managing key business processes on spreadsheets, reports, documents and catalogues was slow, and resulted in significant inefficiencies and inaccurate data. As well as the inherent inefficiencies of this approach, there were examples of out of date catalogues being used, and margin control and management was a real challenge.

“Something needed to change, and we needed to streamline and automate key processes in a way that supported more effective collaboration across regions and with supply chain partners, as well as giving us fast access to accurate information. After reaching out to a number of providers, we selected Coats Digital’s fashion specific Product Lifecycle Management solution, VisionPLM.“

Developed specifically for fashion retailers, brands, sourcing companies and manufacturers of all sizes, VisionPLM streamlines and integrates key business processes, from design, material and product development, to supplier capacity management, order allocation and purchase order tracking.

This results in significant improvements in visibility, coordination and control, across the business and with supply chain partners. VisionPLM can be tailored to each individual business needs, and is proven to increase speed to market, improve productivity and reduce internal costs.
