PLM Conference Scheduled for the Retail Industry
March 19, 2012
The manufacturing industry is no longer alone. The apparel industry has taken notice of all the advantages that product lifecycle management (PLM) provides. In fact, the industry is hosting their second annual conference as reported in the article, “TXT Announce the 2012 TXT Retail Thinking Event”, on Which PLM, that focuses on Integral Retail Planning and PLM.
With the success of the first conference, TXT e-solutions in collaboration with Microsoft and Kurt Salmon, “with an even richer agenda, more testimonials, debates, deep insights into best practices, solutions and technology for Integrated Retail Planning and PLM.” Guest speakers include “TXT’s customers Desigual, Guess, Louis Vuitton Malletier, Marc Jacobs and Verywear.”
“During the Event, guest speakers, along with Kurt Salmon, Microsoft and TXT experts will discuss the value that Integrated Planning and PLM best practice processes, solutions and technologies can bring to multi-channel retailing, while special emphasis will be placed on the practical actions that need to be taken to move to the next level of maturity.”
Retail PLM is certainly growing and tech companies are taking notice as well. Companies like Inforbix, are crossing that manufacturing line and assisting numerous industries with their product data. Inforbix has developed a new approach to find, reuse and share product data and we expect that the apparel industry to utilize this new technology.
