Speaking about their decision to standardize on the FlexPLM platform for all of their footwear and apparel brands, Stephanie Anetrella, Senior Manager, Digital Product Creation at VF Corporation explained:

FlexPLM V12: A New Chapter in Fashion and Retail PLM.

The fashion, apparel, and consumer goods industries have faced historic disruption, compounded by longstanding challenges and market pressures. Commercialization cycles have been compressed, complex global supply chains have been stretched to breaking point, and digital-native consumers dictate the speed of demand across a shifting network of channels.

PTC FlexPLM V12, with its new, modern, highly visual, and fully responsive user experience is a landmark release of retail’s most widely-used PLM platform, and is an essential part of bringing together what we call the digital thread – an end-to-end flow of connected, best-in-class solutions, from concept design to production and beyond, to accelerate product development and to enable  brand and retail businesses to work@digitalspeed. The core capabilities of FlexPLM have been road-tested and proven by the huge household names who have made it the heart of their product lifecycles.

Built for digital product creation, remote access and collaboration supporting the new post-pandemic way of working, FlexPLM V12 introduces several new features:

  • An easy to use, eComm-like user interface puts critical processes, data, imagery, and actionable insights at user’s fingertips. Personalization features improve efficiency, while faster navigation and responsive layouts automatically adapt to almost any device and screen size, keeping users connected wherever they are.
  • V12 includes industry-first 3D collaboration features, enabling companies to effortlessly scale their use of 3D assets across the value chain. Best-in-class, bi-directional integrations with leading 3D design tools provide an end-to-end digital product creation workflow, giving all users across all organizations access to review and collaborate on 3D assets.
  • And Visual Line Collaboration capabilities, give brand and retail businesses a turnkey solution for digitizing their line review processes and making them fit for the world of remote working and collaboration, as well as empowering them to make smarter forecasting and merchandising decisions, cutting line review preparation from weeks to hours.

Using the TRC, FlexPLM links seamlessly to planning solutions, ERP and financial systems, and virtually any other business solution – all without the need for costly customization. This flexibility and speed have allowed FlexPLM customers to rapidly unlock the value of digital transformation, enabling seamless information flow and collaboration between FlexPLM and other systems that support product development.

Unlocking the Value of AI & AR.
