FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The new Lectra Fashion PLM gears fashion companies up for the fourth industrial
revolution
Lectra's Industry 4.0-compatible product lifecycle management solution is smart,
connected, configurable and user-friendly
Paris, June 7, 2017 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce the launch of
Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0, the first-ever product lifecycle management solution
designed to help fashion and apparel companies navigate the fourth industrial
revolution and thrive in the digital era of fashion.
With digitalization transforming the way consumers shop, today's fashion
companies are playing a never-ending game of catch-up, as they compete for the
attention of a generation of connected, fickle-minded millennials who want it
all: personalization, sustainability, quality and speed, accessible at all
times, across multiple channels, and at the lowest price. Industry 4.0 is not
only revolutionizing how manufacturers operate, but also how brands and
retailers need to function, if they want to be fast and agile enough to meet the
needs of this demanding new consumer. The stakes are high and how effectively
companies harness technology to put the consumer at the heart of their process
will be the deciding factor in who comes out ahead and who gets left behind.
Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0 has undergone a drastic reboot to give fashion and
apparel companies the speed and agility they need to tackle the challenges of
Industry 4.0 head on. Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0, with the widest functional scope
on the market, acts as an intelligent nerve center to the digital supply chain,
from planning through design to production. This ensures a consistent flow of
error-free data between processes, technologies and people. The system connects
CAD, industry-standard software such as Adobe Illustrator, company IT systems
(such as ERP) and external suppliers, so that actors across the supply chain can
work on, save and share information on the platform, ensuring data integrity.
The solution also draws on best practices, fashion-business intelligence and
real-world scenarios to automate administrative and repetitive tasks, with
templates, standard libraries and shortcuts that allows more time for value-
added activities. The final result is a fast, connected digital supply chain
that helps fashion companies jump on trends quickly and deliver products that
fulfill their customer's expectations.
This new incarnation of Lectra Fashion PLM is designed to work out of the box
and can be scaled to accommodate the different needs of small to large
businesses, brands, retailers and manufacturers. Companies can start small by
implementing the standard offer, then add on as they go, choosing from up to ten
different modules, such as design integration, product details, sourcing,
sampling and costing.
The solution is available on a monthly subscription or perpetual license basis.
Special attention has been paid to make this new product user-friendly, with
learning tools that enable fast onboarding. The new Lectra Easy Tool allows IT
teams to configure the platform to suit the needs of its users and the new
mobile app, Lectra Collection Advanced, provides more ways to share information.
The fuss-free implementation process means companies can get the platform up and
running quickly with little disruption to business, and quickly start seeing a
return on their investment.
The only fashion-dedicated PLM solution on the market that covers the entire
value chain, Lectra Fashion PLM 4.0 is Lectra's first software product release
since it announced its 4.0 strategy, which aims to help fashion companies
succeed in this brave new digital world. The culmination of Lectra's 40-plus
years of experience in the fashion industry, the platform gives companies a
competitive edge by giving them a smart, user-friendly solution that allows them
to remain agile and connected, facilitating their transition towards Industry
4.0.
"As our customers take their first steps toward the world of Industry 4.0, we
want to be right there beside them to help them succeed. Just like today's
fashion companies, we are evolving to make our offer more customer-centric than
ever before. We are extremely proud of this powerful new PLM platform, and are
convinced that it will help our customers flourish in this digital age of
fashion," says Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing and Communications
Officer, Lectra.
