Lectra launches new Fashion PLM

29/01/2007
 
France-based developer of software and CAD/CAM equipment Lectra has launched a new PLM solution, the Lectra Fashion PLM V1R3. The new product is a 100% web-based solution that allows all those involved in the lifecycle of a product—creation, development, sourcing, manufacturing, and marketing of fashion product lines—to collaborate effectively.

The new product offers an improved Product Development application, which is said to ensure effective collaboration among those involved in all specific processes related to the sourcing of fashion products and related fabrics. This includes precise synchronisation and management of multiple bids, prototype reviews, and effective cost simulations taking into account the product’s multiple variants. The quality process has also been improved to define and validate different tests such as colourfastness, flammability, measurements, and finishing, that each product must undergo before it can be marketed.
