NGC Software’s Extended PLM helps companies cope with the rising cost of raw materials. Apparel prices are up 10 percent, and cotton prices are at an all-time high—but many NGC customers utilize PLM to control materials costs and increase profitability. They use NGC’s PLM to forecast raw-materials requirements, place commitments with multiple suppliers, and draw down the commitments as POs are issued and the materials are consumed. As a result, customers have experienced improved speed to market by an average of three weeks and reduced markdowns/closeouts by 33 percent or more. Raw-materials prices may be up— but NGC can help you improve gross margins and reduce costs throughout your supply chain. Visit www.ngcsoftware.com for more information on NGC’s PLM software.
