The full Product Lifecycle Management suite will be a life-changing choice for you and your company. Gone will be the days of wasting time tracking down the information you need and welcome to the days of a cloud-based centralized system. You’ll be able to house your product lifecycle from first idea and sourcing to full production and on.
With this system your team will be able to collaborate and communicate through the suite allowing you to say goodbye to multiple versions of spreadsheets and email threads. With PLM everything is streamlined into one central database including production, connecting with other offices and departments, merchandising, product creation, and sourcing. When vendors and your team are working within the same platform, it will allow your business the opportunity to grown and scale efficiently and effectively.
As the WFX PLM system is in the Cloud you can access it from anywhere, anytime you need to. When you press save, you are safe in the knowledge that your precious data is kept securely and will be backed up automatically. Never worry about installing software, upgrades or arranging storage again!
Contact UsWe are looking at a situation where a long string of independently linked processes, a plethora of product tracking or specification related spreadsheets, emails covering 6 to 12 months of development and production per product, data that is kept in ways that cannot be shared with other business systems, the resulting repetition of entering the same details across different sheets, messages and systems, the errors associated with all of these, the lack of visibility until something arrives late, the difficulty in seeing what your margins are going to be, not being able to negotiate on time, not knowing a component was rejected, using outdated grading or sizing….. and the list goes on with all the examples you can bring from your own business.
So, how much is 70 to 80% reduction in data entry, complete visibility of actual processes, instant reporting of any status, integrated teams, supplier interaction, knowledge of outstanding tasks, automatically filed messaging, cost and margin visibility or accuracy worth to your business? In most cases allot more than the cost of a system. That is if we don’t include the smiles when better thought through product is delivered to market quicker.

With PLM you get so much more interaction than PDM
A truly integrated experience from the first inspiration to the delivery of your products and the evaluation of the whole process. The practical benefits of using the WFX Cloud PLM system on a day to day basis are supplemented by a view of the process that can really help you gain insight and make decisions on further or future products, suppliers, process improvements an more. Your PLM will not only help you to improve what you achieve from day one, but will also guide you to the evolution that your business requires as you move forward. Just some of the tools and benefits:
Built in flexibility means our PLM will support you as you grow and evolve.
In our opinion it is really important that you see your system as a flexible, almost organic entity. It cannot be a static thing that you install one day and hope it is going to be right for the next 5 or 10 years of your business. It needs to evolve, expand or even contract if needed.
With the WFX Cloud PLM system you have that. Upgrades to the system are made multiple times per year, ensuring that you always have a ‘new’ system, even after using it for years. Expanding it is easy as well. There is so much functionality that it is unlikely you will be using all of it on day one. You can switch further functions on as you need to or expand the system with new module or plugins such as the Adobe Illustrator plugin, the Quality Audit Management suite or the Digital Asset Management Module.
WFX is a leader in the Cloud PLM space for fashion and similar businesses. It is naturally built to integrate with other systems and is the global fashion PLM partner for Netsuite, meaning there are seamless integrations and existing working relationships in place across the solution architecture and implementation teams.
Throughout your journey to becoming a more efficient business the its.fashion and WFX support teams will be there to guide you. Whenever your business needs to evolve or change you can rely on us to advise on adaptation of the set of tools and processes for your next stage, without the need for you to get a new system.

Why in the Cloud?
True Cloud applications can make the difference between ‘Where do we start?’ and ‘Let’s get started!’. The pre-built processes, adaptability and shorter implementation and training times give numerous benefits in comparison to traditional IT infrastructures.
It is the difference between buying a plane to get from A to B and booking your chosen seats, custom meal and lounge access on a reliable airline. You still get from A to B, but without having to do everything that is involved in running an airline. You get your mission accomplished in comfort and style without 100% of the responsibility.
