How to select a PLM that scales with your fashion business

If your teams are managing product data across spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems, scaling your collections becomes increasingly complex.

This educational webinar will guide you through how to evaluate and select a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system that supports growth, improves collaboration, and prepares your business for increasing complexity.

As fashion businesses grow, managing product data becomes harder:

• Information is scattered across multiple tools
• Teams work in silos with limited visibility
• Supplier collaboration lacks structure and traceability
• Tracking collections becomes increasingly complex

The real question is not whether you need more tools, it’s whether you have a connected foundation that can scale.

In this session, you’ll gain a clear, structured approach to selecting the right PLM for your business:

1. Why current ways of working don’t scale
Understand the limitations of spreadsheets, emails, and fragmented tools as your collections grow.

2. What a modern PLM should actually deliver
Learn how PLM has evolved into a strategic backbone that connects product, sourcing, and suppliers — not just a system.

3. How to select the right PLM
Get a practical framework to:

• Define your business priorities
• Identify operational gaps
• Evaluate key capabilities (data, workflows, integrations, collaboration)
