Excelled Sheepskin & Leather uses NGC software
Excelled Sheepskin & Leather Coat Corporation has implement NGC's Extended PLM software across its brands.
Prior to implementing NGC's software, Excelled relied on spreadsheets to manage production of its 300,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs).
The completed spreadsheets with photos, measurements and other attachments often exceeded 200MB, making them too large to email and resulting in long communication delays with its factories.
The fact that NGC's Extended PLM is web-based was a big plus for us," said Enrico Bozzetti, IT director for Excelled.
"A lot of PLM software isn't web-based. We needed a solution that would allow us to communicate in real-time to factories in the middle of nowhere."
Mr Bozzetti added: "With NGC, all our communications are centralised, and we can have multiple people collaborating on projects in real-time.
"Once a style is set up, we can enter measurements and other information, even while our team is still collaborating on the number of pockets, buttons and other details.
"The information is immediately available to our factories; they can look at the construction details and guidelines and then quickly provide cost breakdowns. Once we approve the estimates, we can post PO's on the system, see when they're accepted, and be alerted of any discrepancies, allowing us to quickly resolve any issues."
Founded in 1927, Excelled has annual sales of more than $80
million.
