Dassault and Zymmetry launch integrated sourcing solution
French 3D and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions provider Dassault Systemes, and Hong Kong-based manufacturing and sourcing solutions company Zymmetry Group have teamed up to launch a new product aimed at providing a complete product delivery cycle software solution for the footwear and apparel industries, from initial design through sourcing to retailing.
According to the companies, the solutions will be based on DS's PLM 2.0 and its V6 platform, a single platform for managing all product lifecycle business processes, available to anybody anywhere, spanning engineering groups, business and end users.
"Our agreement builds upon a ten-year vision to connect the entire apparel and footwear supply chain with more collaborative, transparent and synchronized solutions. Dassault Systemes and the Zymmetry Group share the same vision and commitment to enabling a comprehensive apparel industry PLM solution. Combining ENOVIA's expertise in product design and development with Zymmetry's expertise in sourcing and manufacturing creates a compelling offering which will "un-black" the black box of sourcing," said Steven Walton, chairman of Zymmetry.
