Q&A EXECUTIVE INSIGHT

摘要

Why is seamless integration between ERP and PLM especially important amid today's retail realities? Fashion companies want to capitalize immediately on the latest trends, whether it's a popular runway style, a look trending on social media or color selling quickly online or in stores. To pick up on those signals and react to them, they need to compress the cycle from concept through production. This requires robust PLM so that you are not reliant on manual, paper-based processes. It also relies on seamless integration between ERP and PLM. PLM is the home of creating new ideas. Information is always changing. ERP is the home of transactional data. Details need to be very firm. Those are different worlds, but they are dependent on each other and need to be tightly integrated. Only then can companies rapidly and fluidly cascade new concepts and style changes to suppliers, warehouses and other stakeholders.
