Elie Tahari

One of the best names in fashion, Elie Tahari has been a thought leader in the fashion industry, revolutionizing how retailers display designer fashions with the concept of a shop-in-shop at Bergdorf Goodman's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom's.

Challenge

Elie Tahari's pre-production process relied heavily on manual operations that resulted in slower time to market and high production costs.


Industry:	Manufacturing

Solution

Tahari implemented the Vertex Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system from Progress Application Partner, Business Management Systems (BMS) to track availability of raw materials such as fabrics, distribute garment specs to plants and monitor factory shipments.

Results

"We needed a system that could capture everything from garment design to tracking the print and color of a fabric, every button and zipper, costing of those materials and the actual manufacturing and distribution of the collection. In fashion you can't afford to be late with a line. We found that a lot of applications could handle the manufacturing and distribution of apparel, but there were precious few that could manage the critical pre-production process."
- Jason Epstein, chief technology officer for Elie Tahari
