#DriveGrowth #BringAmazingProductsToMarket #MaximizeProductLaunchSuccess

Product is key and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) drives product innovation, product diversity and successful product launch. PLM is no longer a nice to have, but is now a foundation technology that drives operational efficiency and business growth by uniting all product and retail contributors from buyers to merchandising to design, development sourcing, compliance and quality, retail and more. Providing one source of the truth of product related information, people use PLM to collaborate and work together when ideating, developing, producing and bringing products to market for all channels and geographies. Without PLM, companies are faced with a chaotic collection of spreadsheets, file storage, emails, telephone calls and meeting where people try to align and collaborate, often working from wrong or out of date information. It is impossible to make good decisions when you are constantly fighting fires.

What Does Retail PLM Do?

Your questions about PLM for retail, answered based on the extraordinary opportunity we’ve had to work with so many market-leading, innovative retailers.
什麼是 PLM?

產品生命週期管理 (PLM) 是一項連接零售業各方面的數位技術。從產品概念/設計概要到供應商報價,再到商店、批發和電子商務,價值鏈的每一步都使用相同、最新且可靠的單一產品資料源。這代表從產品設計師、商品人員再到供應商,大家都從相同來源取得資料,減少了上市時間和成本。

為何零售商需要使用 PLM?

“零售業 PLM 顯著改善了產品開發創新、加強供應商的合作,以及推動共同創造產品,讓多類別零售團隊能夠更快將合適的自有品牌和經銷品類別推向市場。它使得多類別零售商能夠為客戶提供最廣泛的產品選擇,以獲得絕對的最佳經濟效益。鞏固他們在一年四季及各種場合提供一站式服務給客戶的地位。它對從溝通、合規到品質等方面都帶來變革性的影響,甚至可以因應關稅、變動的成本和波動的匯率。
