Leading U.S. dancewear and costume designer
turns to NGC as foundation for growth and supply chain
excellence
New Generation Computing, Inc. (NGC), a leading provider of
digital supply chain solutions, today announced that Weissman, a
premier designer of dancewear and costumes, is implementing NGC’s
supply chain management (SCM), PLM, vendor compliance and quality
control solutions. Weissman, a family-owned business that
celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, chose NGC as its
strategic digital supply chain platform for future growth and
success.
Weissman recognized an opportunity to improve productivity,
deliver seamless visibility across the vast volumes of product
development data, and enhance and streamline collaboration with
both suppliers and internal partners. Weissman selected NGC based
on the company’s fashion industry expertise and its ability to
provide a comprehensive solution, from product concept to customer
delivery.
“We were impressed with NGC’s knowledge of fashion and apparel
technology and the partnership and trust that was formed between
our businesses,” said Dan Winders, vice president of sourcing,
product integrity and QA, Weissman. “The NGC platform has quickly
allowed us to address several of Weissman’s most pressing needs,
including digital RFQs, cost sheets and sample requests.
Digitalizing these processes has helped us accelerate decision
making and drive greater collaboration.”
NGC’s digital supply chain platform will help enhance Weissman’s
supply chain and support the company’s ability to deliver the
quality merchandise its customers have come to expect. A few of
these capabilities include:
- Complete Visibility. NGC’s platform will connect
stakeholders including planning, product development, sourcing,
compliance, purchasing, production and quality in a single
cloud-based solution that also connects vendors, suppliers and
other external providers.
- Vendor Compliance. Improved vendor collaboration will
allow Weissman to evaluate, manage and report on all aspects of
vendor compliance.
- Increased Productivity. Workflow calendars and a
centralized portal for all communications and exception management
will help Weissman sense and respond to potential problems or
delays before they impact downstream activities.
“Weissman is ushering in a new era of digital transformation
with NGC’s digital supply chain platform,” said Mark Burstein,
president, NGC. “It’s appropriate that Weissman is doing this as
the company celebrates its 60th anniversary and looks forward to a
bright future. We’re proud that NGC can play a strategic role in
Weissman’s continued success.”
