INTEGRATING MATERIAL MANAGEMENT WITH PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND SOURCING IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE
At the beginning of each season designers, merchants and pre-production teams come together to research new materials. The choice of a knit or woven, button or toggle can make a season or break a product. You need new tools to manage all of your material information, visually and digitally. You need a place on the web to come together to collaborate and manage your most important design and product development information …Material Management is a key strategy for product development today.
With the introduction of MATERIAL STUDIO™, Material Management is elevated to a collaborative partnership between members of the development chain. MATERIAL STUDIO™ brings together people and information throughout the key lifecycle stages and processes of product development
