Apparel Brand OOBE Enhances Product Design and Development
OOBE, an apparel brand specializing in corporate apparel and uniform programs, has chosen NGC's (New Generation Computing) e-PLM to manage product design and development for its Design/Build and corporate apparel businesses. Formed in the mid-1990s as an outdoor lifestyle sportswear brand, OOBE has recently focused on bringing a new level of style, performance and durability to corporate uniforms. The company needed a PLM solution to manage the rapid growth of its business and selected NGC's e-PLM as its strategic software for product lifecycle management. OOBE will use e-PLM for design, RFQs and bids, delivery of spec-packs to sourcing offices and factories, and seamless management of changes and revisions throughout the product design process. "With e-PLM, we can maintain all information in a central location that is instantly accessible by our agents and factories around the world, without having to update multiple files and search through endless e-mails," says Toby Stansell, president of OOBE.
