Infor, a business application software provider from the US, recently launched next generation of Infor Fashion Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The application links the vital areas of merchandising (product development and sourcing) with line planning, design and development, sourcing and production under Merchandise Planning module and a new Partner Collaboration module. The Merchandise Planning module supports the creation of new collections with overall budgets that can be allocated to product and market attributes as the collection and line plans evolve – streamlining processes. In addition, the new Partner Collaboration module provides secure 24×7 web access for the exchange of information on styles, specification packs, update requests/comments, measurements, quotes, tests/standards and more, to avoid time lags and reduce communication errors. The latest release of Infor Fashion PLM also includes enhanced Product Development features as it allows users to save the unique print in a specific library for easier access.
