Getting the sample right, the first time, on time

So much depends on getting the sample right from the beginning.

Imagine a system that was as easy to use as spreadsheet but introduced the advantages of a PLM system and a structured database. An application you could download and install, without submitting a Project Initiative request with IT and Management. A simple PLM system built for footwear that consolidates everything going on in your Line at the Line, Plan and Style-level.

Welcome to SoftShoeStyle

SoftShoeStyle gives you the ability to manage product develpment processes from Line Plan through Sample Request.

  • One place to store Style information, including graphics, projected costs, material information and comments.
  • Quick lookup of status, instead of searching e-mail threads and spreadsheet attachments
  • Comprehensive Spec Package delivered to the Sample Room or factory giving them a better chance to do their job right the first time on time
  • Better view of material usage
  • Better view of material usage gives you firmer projected costs, which improved the accuracy of your margin projections
  • A collaborative workspace: Everyone needs to know the real status of the project.
  • Updates and changes need to be tracked and highlighted.
  • Surrounding information: graphics, margin analysis, approval, calendars all need to be tightly integrated and easily accessible from the Style.
One version of the truth.

The fact that SoftShoeStyle is quick to install, easy to maintain and a breeze to learn makes it only better.
