Zweave’s Value PropositionZweave’s software supports the design processes of emerging, mid-market and large retail and apparel manufacturers. Zdesign, Zweave’s on-demand solution, lowers the time and the cost of managing the information created during the design lifecycle by streamlining design processes. The biggest chal-lenge faced by retailers and apparel manufacturers today is managing the massive information devel-oped by and between designers, pattern makers, manufacturers, sourcing agents and their partners in the vendor community. The apparel industry is a disconnected and silo driven environment where time zone challenges and information exchanges during the design lifecycle are currently managed in CAD systems, spreadsheets and email. Miscommunications during this process can translate into signiÞcant markdowns or worse, a missed season. Being on time and on trend is key to success and must be ongoing and repeatable for an organization and its development chain partners to survive and thrive.

Here are ten ways Zweave supports product development lifecycle management and helps customers with faster design cycles:1 Role-based access to complete product information, any stage, any time from anywhere through Zweave’s Virtual Design Studio Portals 2 Improved visibility and management of product development processes from design to delivery3 Real time collaboration by and between product development and sourcing organizations and their partners 4 Accuracy and accountability at all levels of the process 5 Control and coordination of material R&D and sourcing 6 Coordination of color in materials, prints, graphics, BOM’s and portfolios and items7 Multi level, multi vendor bill of material coordination within tech packs 8 Vendor-based product management from sampling through testing9 Sample management including tracking testing and approvals 10 Merchandising Management tools to support key calendar objectives from raw material purchasing to just in time deliveries
