Their goal was to deliver this unified access and complete visibility without painful data or systems integration - in fact, without any impact at all on underlying business applications.http://www.just-style.com/plm/Monoprix-boosts-agility-through-unified-information-access_d134.aspxTue, 19 Feb 2013 09:18:00 GMTProtecting the Brand Promise through a single version of the truth for all stakeholdershttp://www.just-style.com/plm/Dassault-Systèmes-My-Unified-Development-and-Sourcing_d132.aspxWed, 06 Feb 2013 14:07:00 GMTThis whitepaper will take you through the important first steps when you are deciding on what PLM solution to choose.

Some companies are doing it better than others, whilst others are keen to address it but not entirely sure how to achieve it in practice. The DeSL solution enables companies to fulfil this due diligence in the most comprehensive yet simple way, with global companies already using the DeSL iPad app to manage their requirements for Fair Trade, ethical trading and product quality. With the DeSL solution, companies can now ensure all quality and inspection steps are being followed stringently across all divisions, enabling tracking and traceability in all levels of the supply chain.http://www.just-style.com/plm/DeSL-Managing-Ethical-Trading-Vendor-Compliance_d130.aspxTue, 04 Dec 2012 15:10:00 GMTLet's face fact's, most designers enter the world of fashion design to do exactly that - design. What they don't sign up for is perhaps all of the administration and non design tasks that are a critical part of the design production process. With this in mind and based on feedback from global design teams, DeSL has launched the new Adobe Illustrator "plug in" which is a powerful addition to the design workspace. The Integrator delivers major productivity benefits for the design team enabling them to focus on design and remove all manual and non design tasks - the "plug in" is already in use with a number of design teams and has been proven to reduce design time by up to 20%.http://www.just-style.com/plm/DeSL-Reduce-design-time-by-up-to-20-with-the-original-Adobe-Illustrator-Integrator_d129.aspxFri, 26 Oct 2012 11:22:00 GMTOur industry has seen some of the world's premier brands invest millions of dollars and years of effort to implement PLM solutions designed for the automobile or aerospace industries only to be left with unfulfilled value propositions and employees who refuse to adopt the system.http://www.just-style.com/plm/Designed-for-the-business-of-fashion_d127.aspxMon, 03 Sep 2012 15:33:00 GMTSelecting the best-fit PLM solution and then implementing it for your organization is not an easy decision as there is no universal "right" choice. It is essential to have a highly objective evaluation process. Making a sub-optimal choice can have serious repercussions for years to come as such decisions are usually difficult to change. Having chosen a PLM system, planning for its implementation in phases helps split the decision making process and also allows for incremental investments.http://www.just-style.com/plm/PLM-Make-the-best-choice-Implement-it-right_d128.aspxMon, 03 Sep 2012 15:33:00 GMTThe Fashion and Apparel industry is unique.

But what if you could do more with this data? Do more with what you already have?http://www.just-style.com/plm/Leveraging-the-Power-of-PLM_d115.aspxThu, 25 Aug 2011 09:30:00 GMTRetailers continue to use Private Label Merchandise to highlight their "value message" and also support gross margin improvements, but economic conditions have hampered the small and mid-sized retailers' ability to grow that side of their business. Not surprisingly, Retail Winners, or those who historically outperform their peers and inflation, have been most aggressive in growing that part of their assortment.http://www.just-style.com/plm/Getting-it-right-the-first-time-Designing-and-Delivering-Merchandise-that-Sells_d114.aspxThu, 25 Aug 2011 09:29:00 GMTCalendar management is crucial in the apparel and footwear industries.
