To survive in today's fast marketplace, retailers are under pressure to be better, less expensive, and faster to market than their competitors. With a single system that connects retailers to all of their vendors and trading partners, and delivers the key functions of product lifecycle management (PLM) and supply chain execution (SCE) systems, retailer organizations are able to be more flexible with the changing consumer trends, increase margins, improve productivity of their global supply network, and quickly deliver quality items to their customers.

ecVision XpressCommerce® is an award-winning Product Lifecycle Execution™ software solution that benefits private label and consumer goods retailers, and their trading partners.

The fully-integrated, web-based suite of functionality found in XpressCommerce engages the entire product chain by creating a direct, efficient connection between development, procurement and suppliers to support better cost management throughout the entire product lifecycle process. The scope for this type of cross-functional technology includes everything from gathering early line plan requirements to designing goods and writing product specifications, building a collection plan through multiple stages of collaboration with the factories and vendors on product design, capacity and/or material reservations, development and costing. This is typically where the PLM functionality ends. SCE tasks pick up at the point when goods are ordered and “needle is put to cloth”, then managing and tracking the production and executing the necessary shipping requirements through to receipt into the warehouse.

The result is a software solution that dynamically transforms a global supply network through unparalleled collaboration and real-time visibility.

As the single “system of truth” for all these activities, crucial data is stored and linked to each task. Robust reports can be created and shared to provide detailed information for day-to-day and long-range management decisions. The entire system is built to JavaEE™ standards, offering greater flexibility for integration with third party or legacy systems that are vital to the process.

By employing some or all of ecVision's modules, your company can benefit from this combined functionality that enables exceptional visibility and facilitates collaboration between retailers and their global commerce partners, including vendors, factories, agents, banks, and logistics providers.
