PTC announced that Reitmans, a specialty apparel retailer headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, has selected the PTC Retail, Footwear and Apparel solution, FlexPLM, to facilitate global collaboration for its product development and supplier management initiatives. The strategic decision to use FlexPLM will enable Reitmans to optimize its PLM processes and reduce the time between design concept and general consumer availability.

Since 1926 Reitmans, has built its reputation on developing affordable, fashionable high-quality women's apparel. Today, Reitmans is the largest Canadian specialty apparel retailer delivering 16,000 new styles each year to over 900 stores.

With an increasing number of fashion seasons each year that must address a constantly changing product landscape, Reitmans required a PLM solution that would give employees in different departments and divisions across the organization the ability to collaborate on product design and development.

Additionally, the company wanted this solution to manage and control access to product data and images as well as facilitate collaboration among designers, merchandisers, sourcing personnel and suppliers located in Montreal, Hong Kong, Shanghai and throughout Asia.

Reitmans selected PTC after extensive research that included speaking with fellow retailers and suppliers, in addition to working with its in-house teams to understand the various requirements from multiple departments. Reitmans will implement FlexPLM to provide a dynamic, flexible PLM solution that supports centralized data management, workflow management and collaboration among its geographically dispersed users across all seven of its apparel divisions. FlexPLM will help Reitmans to facilitate global product development and to control all aspects of the development cycle so that products are delivered to the marketplace quickly.
