NGC Software today announced that contemporary fashion designer Nicole
Miller has rolled out NGC’s fashion
PLM and Global Sourcing/Supply Chain Management (SCM) software.
Headquartered in New York City, New York, Nicole Miller is one of the
most innovative brands in high-end women’s apparel and accessories. With
a longstanding tradition of high-quality clothing, Nicole Miller sought
a new software solution to streamline its design and production
processes, reduce turn-around time, maintain the brand's high quality
standards, and ensure close collaboration between its design team and
global supply chain. The selection of NGC’s fashion software has
provided Nicole Miller with a strategic platform for achieving all these
goals.
NGC's PLM/SCM solution fully integrates fashion PLM and Supply Chain
Management into a single, collaborative platform that standardizes all
processes for PLM, SCM and Global Sourcing. NGC's software enables
Nicole Miller to optimize lead times, drive down costs, maximize profit
opportunities, and respond quickly to fast-changing consumer preferences.
“We talked to a number of leading PLM providers, but NGC appeared as the
best choice, based on their extensive knowledge of the fashion industry
and the strength of NGC's combined PLM/SCM solution,” said Estelle Rose,
CFO of Nicole Miller. “NGC provided expert advice at every step of the
implementation process, and we're already seeing positive results with
the software.”
“Nicole Miller is one of the most beloved names in contemporary women's
fashion,” said Mark Burstein, president of sales, marketing and R&D,
NGC. “Nicole Miller has a superior reputation for innovative,
high-quality fashion designs, and we are proud to be working with their
team to help streamline their operations.”
