“Previously we had a very basic system that didn’t meet our needs as a fashion supplier. We have been using StylePack PLM for over a year now. The system has been tailored to our needs, allowing us to respond to our customers faster and more effectively. StylePack modules are compatible with all of our customer accounts including ASOS and NEXT.”
StylePack Web:
StylePack Web is a cloud-based extension of your StylePack system. The web-based program allows you to access your data from anywhere using any kind of device. Simply add the URL to your search engine, log in, and you can overview multiple modules. PLM product lifecycle management software is fully accessible via this platform.
Apparel Module:
Viewer of the full software on a style, this module is for directors/ managers who wish to access StylePack without being present in the network. You can view styles, create costing sheets, view orders, view all the orders critical path dates. View all purchase orders.
Quality Control:
Factories or quality control departments can access a limited version of StylePack via the online platform to input their findings when quality controlling production. PLM product lifecycle management integrates seamlessly with these processes. Compare measurement charts, identify any errors, and quickly and easily report the findings. The data can be input on tablets, computers, or even mobile phones. This data will populate back to StylePack Desktop. Inspection reports will then be able to be generated.
Factory Module:
Getting cut/production figures from factories can be long-winded. The factory module has a limited access to view StylePack which enables the factory to only see the orders that have been allocated to them, they will be able to input figures which will populate back to StylePack Desktop.
It also extends its functionality by providing essential reporting tools. Factories can now generate detailed reports on production statuses, efficiency metrics, and operational challenges. This capability empowers factories to proactively address issues, optimise their production processes, and enhance communication with your main office. This added layer of transparency and oversight significantly boosts the overall production chain’s responsiveness and efficiency.
