Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Streamlines Product Lifecycle Management with New Technology
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation is enhancing its supply chain management capabilities with a product lifecycle management (PLM) system to support its extensive sourcing operations. Provided by ecVision, XpressCommerce® will be deployed as an online solution used by sourcing teams in the United States, Latin America and Asia to collaborate on global product design and development tasks.
The web-based, role-based application serves as a common platform to consolidate pre-production tracking data, standardize product costing, and provide a means of collaboration across the globally-distributed network. ecVision's reporting capabilities will be enhanced by the data consolidation created through integration to an external product design (PDM) system. The system will provide the retailer with a comprehensive supplier management process ensuring that brand quality, competitive pricing and better product delivery dates are achieved.
"We believe this technology will tightly mesh our supplier and sourcing operations around the world while delivering greater value chain benefits to our customers," says Don Grant, Group Vice President IT at PVH. "We are impressed with ecVision's agility to work with our internal teams at multiple levels to implement a solution that will enhance our sourcing operations."
Future phases of additional functionality ecVision will deliver include more robust and detailed costing, cross-functional calendaring, and supplier capacity planning tools. To learn more about ecVision's solutions, visit http://www.ecvision.com.
