Showpo Streamlines Workflows with WFX PLM

Challenges they faced

Showpo faced several challenges before implementing WFX PLM to optimize their product development processes. They struggled with the visibility of workflows among their design, garment tech, and buying teams, as the workflows had become difficult to manage due to a lack of visibility.

The company also relied on scattered information tracked on spreadsheets, lacking a centralized source of information to monitor team activities and progress effectively.

Showpo needed to streamline and enhance the quality of their tech packs and measurement charts to simplify the style creation process, indicating a need for improved organization in this aspect. What's more, their outdated system, which combined spreadsheets and an unsuitable legacy system, hindered their product development processes.
