Collaborativ™ PLM Software for Apparel & Footwear Announced
Emmaus, PA (PRWEB) March 03, 2015 -- Apparel and footwear industry software experts Xperia Solutions have launched the new Collaborativ™ Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software suite to speed up the product development cycle, lower costs, improve communications, and enable customers to rapidly bring apparel and footwear products to market. The software, which is integrated with the company’s Comprehensiv™ Enterprise System (ERP), is easy to learn and use.
“Gaining every competitive advantage is critical for success in today's highly competitive fashion industry,” said Xperia Vice President of Sales and Marketing Alan Robezzoli. “Yet many apparel and footwear PLM solutions fail to deliver the ease-of-use needed to collaborate effortlessly and efficiently with a company’s internal development team and supply chain. Xperia's Collaborativ™ PLM Suite delivers on all of this and more.”
