Product Data Management

What is Product Data Management? 

Product Data Management (PDM) is a system for managing design data and engineering processes in one central location. 

PDM is often used for product-related information, to track revisions, collaborate, manage change orders, generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), and more. 

Using a PDM solution ultimately helps companies to save time through:

• Collection Management
• Handling of re-runners
• Delivery and drop scheduling
• Sales prices
• Pre- and post-costing
• Web-based supplier portal for product data and communication
• Statistics and Decision Support

Product Data Management for fashion and apparel

Many apparel and fashion companies simultaneously outsource stages of the design, production, and manufacturing processes to locations around the world. This means that the companies are often having to communicate over long distances and across several different time zones. 

There is immense pressure on the market-decided delivery times, all systems need to be working full speed at all times. One accessory might be being designed at a company’s HQ, with others in factories across the other side of the world. 

To keep up with the heavily saturated fashion industry, brands and companies must ensure that these kinds of processes are streamlined for maximum efficiency.
