ENOVIA for the Retail, Footwear & Apparel Industry

The challenges for the apparel industry include increased global competition, the need to target new markets and create new revenue streams, customer demands for more innovative products, and pressures to reduce new product development costs.
 

In order to respond to these pressures, companies in the fashion industry are looking to differentiate themselves and create a competitive advantage by:

  • Aligning and coordinating design, procurement, and suppliers early in the design process to accelerate time-consuming product sample review iterations and placement decisions.
  • Standardizing product development procedures on an enterprise wide basis.
  • Establishing common metrics and procedures for measuring product development milestones and performance.
  • Enabling visibility and process control for brand and retail global operations through enhanced sourcing, costing, and pre-production processes
  • Effectively sourcing, negotiating, and managing product costs in an open and seal bid process with offices, agents, and suppliers
  • Improving the ability to capture and align industry trends, product features, and customer requirements with aftermarket performance data to support seasonal product line planning decisions.
  • Creating an information infrastructure that automates and integrates product data, business processes, and development workflows across the product life cycle.
