As retail
leaders converged on New York City this past
month at the NRF Big Show to learn more about
operating with greater efficiency after struggling
through another Christmas season, ecVision |
announced the launch of a Develop
module for product development and planning to
add to its suite of tools for retailers and brands.
Used by sourcing teams, designers, overseas buying
offices, suppliers and agents, the Develop module
in XpressCommerce® is the latest addition to
ecVision’s solution that consolidates PDM,
PLM and SCE functionality - creating an unmatched
offering in this vertical space. This module encompasses
all aspects of product, material and vendor management.
When combined with XpressCommerce’s Source,
Reserve and Audit modules all functional requirements
of PLM and Sourcing business processes for apparel
and footwear retailers and private label brands
are addressed.

“It
is important to point out that ecVision is delivering
more product features at a time when other PLM providers
are merging or acquiring to stay afloat and support
the demand for new functionality that addresses the
needs of retailers in a single solution,” said
Thomas Ng, CEO. “We have a strong team of industry
experts with real-world experience, enabling ecVision
to broaden our solution with a practical business
approach leveraging Java and Web Services technology
as a focal point.”

ecVision,
an award winning provider of product lifecycle and
supply chain software solutions, has been rated in
Gartner’s annual research report “MarketScope
for PLM in Apparel, Footwear and Accessories” (ID
Number: G00171001). ecVision believes its inclusion
this year is attributed to its strategic initiatives
to broaden the scope of its PLM capabilities.

Retail
Analysts Marc Halpern and Peter Bambridge identify
a trend for solution providers providing AFA organizations
with extensions to the typical PLM and SC applications
that address the need to “manage increasing risk
in new product launches, produce tighter forecasts
of sales by line, address increased pressures to make
the right decisions, and use offshore sourcing to keep
costs low.”

In
July 2009, ecVision announced the general availability
of an enhanced version of XpressCommerce. The

greater functionality in the Source module, primarily

suppliers, overseas buying offices and agents.

“The
functionality in this release provides the tools
for retailers to improve the collaboration and
visibility across the disparate supplier base
during the important phase of product costing
and sampling,” said Cheryl Layne, VP of
Products and Solutions for ecVision. “Armed
with the information that aids in making important
seasonal production line and supplier selection
decisions, brand owners can expect to increase
margins through lower production and shipment
costs.”
