Webinar Overview:
Digital Transformation is no longer a nice to have in today’s fashion industry, it is a necessity, but takes various forms, and green is definitely the new black! With PLM and 3D technology in particular providing a collaborative network for brandsthrough their product development to help support their ESG goals and sustainability initiatives. DeSL and their partners Browzwear and Higg, will discuss how the correct use of technology, brands can operate and grow profitably and with a constant awareness of their carbon footprint, and monitor supplier compliance all through the supply chain, from source to final product. Higg is an integrated technology platform providing sustainability insights, that helps brands measure and improve the sustainability of their supply chain – with a unique full value chain approach across carbon, water, energy, social, and labour impacts. Leveraging Higg’s APIs, DeSL PLM platform can offer social and environmental sustainability insights to product designers and developers from the beginning of the product development process. Browzwear is a leading 3D technology platform for product design, development and merchandising, and plays a key part in a successful digital product lifecycle. Combining DeSL PLM and Browzwear 3D platforms, physical samples can become a thing of the past. With true-to-life digital imagery, brands are able to remove productivity barriers, increase product speed to market, accelerate growth and enhance sustainability. We will inform and educate on how PLM and 3D tools, along with sustainability monitoring can help brands to:
• Digitally approve the sampling process • Monitor and reduce carbon footprint • Have better informed business decisions based on key sustainability data • Increase consumer confidence and brand loyalty • Attain profitable and accelerated growth through streamlined business processes to bridge organisational gaps
A brand's mission is now just as important as its product.
