NGC’s Andromeda Cloud SaaS solutions enable
retailers and brand owners to protect their brand
reputation
NGC Software, a leading provider of cloud-based Product
Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM)
solutions, today announced the latest release and general
availability of its next-generation Andromeda® Quality Control
solution for fashion retailers and brand owners. This
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution helps companies identify
product quality problems on the factory floor where issues can
quickly and easily be resolved, reducing chargebacks and returned
inventory.
NGC’s latest Andromeda Quality Control release provides a
solution for quality management and compliance testing throughout
the supply chain. It features integration with legacy PLM, ERP and
logistics solutions, multilingual online and offline functionality,
and geolocation of factories and auditors. The cloud-based solution
allows internal, third-party or factory-certified auditors to
conduct multiple audit types, produce comprehensive inspection
reports, and create corrective action plans. All of the information
collected on the tablet is uploaded to the Andromeda Cloud
Platform, resulting in real-time reporting and failure
notification. The system automatically generates corrective action
plans that bring the quality assurance process full circle.
Product Testing is an integral part of the Andromeda Quality
Control solution that streamlines the entire testing process for
both finished products and components. Retailers and brand owners
can manage the complex process of requesting, tracking, submitting,
and approving product tests, then creating compliance documents
such as the General Certificate of Conformity (GCC). Andromeda
manages product compliance for domestic and international
regulatory requirements such as CPSIA, Prop 65, REACH and many
others. Andromeda also manages testing protocols related to product
quality standards, including fiber content, weight, count and yarn
size; dimensional stability; colorfastness; wet and dry crocking;
tearing, tensile and seam strength; pilling resistance, pile
retention and stretch recovery; and much more.
“Managing production quality and product compliance are critical
steps in any apparel supply chain,” said Mark Burstein, president
of sales and development, NGC Software. “Our Andromeda Quality
Control solution allows retailers and brand owners to protect their
brand reputation by helping identify issues early and tracking
resolutions for a comprehensive quality assurance process. We’re
already working with new and existing customers on implementations,
and we’re excited about the momentum that our latest Andromeda
Cloud solutions are generating.”
Andromeda Quality Control is part of NGC’s Andromeda Cloud
Platform, which enables the Connected Enterprise by bringing
together information from legacy systems and pulling data from all
departments – Merchandising, Product Development, Sourcing,
Compliance, Purchasing, Production, Quality, Logistics, Marketing
and Sales – into a single cloud-based solution that connects
vendors, suppliers and other providers.
