PDM
Product data management or also acknowledged as PDM is a system used to manage design data and engineering processes in one central location. PDM is the name of a function within Product lifecycle management or also known as PLM.
Some of the advantages of a PDM system are to track and manage all changes to product-related data, improve productivity through the reuse of product design data, and spend less time organizing and tracking design data because everything is visible and maintained in one system.
There is a long way from Australia to Bangladesh. Nevertheless, communication over long distances is the reality for most apparel and fashion companies, where the production often is outsourced to many locations around the world and in different design stages simultaneously.
While one product may be on the drawing board at headquarters, another may be going through the sewing machine in China. This puts pressure on the market-decided delivery times.
It is virtually impossible to make the right decisions at the right time without a good overview. With TRIMIT and the built-in Product Data Management (PDM) software, you get the overview you need.
TRIMIT minimizes the risk of errors, reduces the number of collection-samples, and helps to ensure production and quality along the way. This is possible because everyone in your organization has access to the same information. Even your suppliers with the web-based TRIMIT Supplier Portal have access to the latest information, regardless of their technological platform.

Omnichannel Sales
Omnichannel selling is a multichannel approach to sales that focus on providing one unified customer experience no matter whether the client is shopping online on a mobile device, lap-top or in a bricks-and-mortar store.
It is not just about creating the best designs. You must also be the best to sell them. Your customers have a constant demand for new products, and they expect you to be visible in a variety of sales platforms – from physical stores to online stores and social media. This places high demands on you.
With TRIMIT, all people selling your products have a full overview of current and future products, bestsellers, delivery times, and prices. This applies whether we are talking about your vendors, agents or directly from the stores – TRIMIT supports them.
Via Seams Extensions, your TRIMIT solution provides seamlessly integrated webshops and portals. These support your brand image and give you a great way to sell and manage the products you already have in TRIMIT.

Purchasing
Any purchaser knows the challenge of getting materials home at the right time in the right numbers. Backorders and partial deliveries are part of everyday life and often very annoying not only for the purchasers, but for the rest of the organisation too. There also needs to be a focus on minimising or completely avoiding excess stock of raw materials and components. There are high demands for the optimisation of purchase arrangements. Changes in material requirements needs to be made available for purchase as early as possible.
TRIMIT helps you solve your challenges whether you are buying to stock or directly to work in progress. The system can – based on tenders – calculate your needs and gather your purchases across different sales orders.

Manufacturing
ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is an obvious fit for a company with its own manufacturing department, given the many processes that must occur daily. ERP systems like TRIMIT increase organisational efficiency by managing and improving how a company’s resources are utilise.
Some of the benefits of ERP for manufacturing companies are process automation, risk mitigation, real-time reporting, the ability to quickly adapt to outside disruption, improving the supply chain, and providing better service to customers.
Modern production often needs to be able to handle a large number of variants – completely according to customer-specific requirements. This often places heavy demands on the creation and maintenance of item numbers, bills of material (BOMs), and production management – whether production takes place locally or if you have outsourced production.
Costs must be kept to a minimum – at the same time, you need to meet high demands on flexibility and clarity.
