Freeborders Updates PLM
San Francisco–based software developer Freeborders has updated its Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software offering with Version 3.5, which features enhanced manufacturing and costing visibility, improved data integration and new sourcing management application.
Existing customers J.Jill, Sara Lee Courtaulds and others have successfully tested the system, company officials said.
The new sourcing tool, called FB Source, is aimed at reducing lead times by managing vendors with RFQ (request for quotations) management, real-time Webbased vendor evaluations and sourcing plans functions.
Other enhancements include new business planning capabilities in the line optimizer tool and multiple-page storyboard creation. For more information, visit freeborders.com. —Robert McAllister
