Women's Retailer CacheChooses NGC for PLM, Sourcing

NGC (New Generation Computing) announced that Cache, a national mall-based specialty retailer of sophisticated women's sportswear and dresses, has selected NGC's e-PLM and e-SPS software.

Cache will implement NGC's PLM and global sourcing solutions to improve speed to market, collaboration and efficiency throughout the retailer's product development and production process.

According to NGC, its web-based software will provide Cache with a solution that encompasses the retailer's entire product lifecycle - including assortment planning; financial line planning; costing and pre-production; management of purchase orders and Work in Progress; and quality control.

NGC's software also includes raw materials management, which it says will allow Cache to closely manage the purchase and usage of all raw material inventories located around the world.

"NGC's software will facilitate real-time collaboration with our vendors about styles and production orders, and will enable Cache to deliver the highest quality goods while also controlling costs and improving turnaround time," said Joanne Marselle, vice president of planning and production for Cache.

"The advanced tools such as factory profiling, vendor scorecards, and exception and milestone reporting offered by NGC's e-PLM will allow Cache to align itself with best suppliers, produce more efficiently, and improve margins," added Ashok Gandhi, vice president of finance for Cache.
