Speed Step Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)

Trends come and go – your processes remain stable

In the fashion, footwear, and lifestyle industries, trends must be identified and acted upon quickly. Sustainable success depends on rapid decision-making and the timely delivery of collections. This requires transparency, swift product procurement, and seamless collaboration among all stakeholders. The solution? Our Speed Step PLM module, which we developed with your day-to-day challenges in mind.

While our PDM module manages your technical product data, Speed Step PLM goes a step further: It supports the entire lifecycle of your products—from the initial sketch through procurement to delivery. All information is captured, and documents are centrally organized, coordinated, and managed. In addition, our PLM offers a sophisticated project management function—ideal for companies in the private label sector.

The result: greater transparency, agile processes, seamless—global—collaboration, and a strategic foundation on which you can engage partners, employees, and customers at any time. This builds long-term trust, and you maintain firm control not only over your data but also over every step in the process.

Your advantages at a glance

Bring products to market faster

Centralized management of all your product data, from the initial sketch to final approval, ensures efficient workflows and shortens time to market.

Work together more effectively

Whether it’s product development, procurement, quality assurance, or logistics, all your teams can collaborate in a single system, regardless of location. This leads to better communication and fewer errors.

Reduce costs sustainably

By optimizing your processes, you can reduce costs and minimize production errors and material consumption. This allows you to make decisions that are sustainable in every way.

Keep an eye on everything at all times

Every change, every detail, every status is documented transparently and clearly. This makes your processes traceable—and your work more secure.

Perfectly organized from the start

Even before an order is placed, projects are created and managed centrally. Once the order is placed, the process continues without interruption.

Easier compliance with standards

With Speed Step PLM, you can easily meet requirements. Whether it's certificates, materials, or supply chains, you'll always remain compliant while staying ahead of the curve.

Product features

What can the Speed Step PLM module do?

Project management

Even before an order is placed, you can create and manage tenders and projects centrally in PLM and connect them with all stakeholders. This way, even with many projects running simultaneously, you always know who is working on what and what the current status is—transparently, efficiently, and completely stress-free. Once an order is placed, all subsequent steps continue seamlessly in PLM. This allows you to maintain a clear overview even with complex developments and tenders.

Collection development

Keep trends under control right from the start: from trend colors to mood boards, your collection is created digitally, flexibly, and clearly. Sales and procurement planning can be integrated at an early stage, allowing you to start the season with a clear strategy.

Product development

All product and material data is centrally managed in Speed Step PLM: from product attributes and colors to sizes and image data. This allows you to maintain full control over every detail at all times and keep track of your product data, manufacturing instructions, and bills of materials.

Material organization

Your digital fabric world: Want to organize your materials efficiently? Manage all products centrally in a master library. Fabric swatches and specifications can be easily compared and evaluated. This minimizes potential errors and ensures maximum transparency for your material planning.

Model process

Gain complete control: from deadline monitoring to change management, samples and approvals are handled digitally and transparently. Colors and sizes can be evaluated, changes tracked digitally, and all relevant information accessed at any time in the dashboard or KPI reporting. This allows you to ensure consistent quality and build trust with partners and teams.

Workflow

Efficiency through transparency: If you take the “flow” in workflow seriously, you always need to stay on top of things. Speed Step PLM shows you the progress of product development, procurement, quality assurance, and logistics around the clock. Automated notifications, dashboards, document management, and Outlook integration can be customized to your needs, making processes even smarter—and ensuring that nothing gets lost.

Collaboration

Everyone pulls together: All participants work on one platform—with clearly defined access rights as needed and seamless integration of all partners along the supply chain. This facilitates communication across all locations and saves valuable time.

Procurement

Efficiently manage suppliers, agencies, and QC and logistics partners: from price inquiries and order placement to packaging requirements and deadline tracking. Comprehensive reports also help you optimize cost and quality control.

Logistics

Everything stays in flux and perfectly organized—whether it's packing list, delivery, and shipping management or container management: your logistics process is optimized and all steps are digitally mapped. Precise deadline monitoring and meaningful reports or statistics ensure that deliveries arrive smoothly and on time.

Intelligent connections seamlessly integrated

Speed Step PLM integrates seamlessly into your existing IT landscape. This allows your systems to work hand in hand—without detours or data chaos.
