Control your supply chain with the PLM tool

Do you need to find supplier information from your last collection and you don’t know how? The PLM tool enables easy and intuitive management and control of the entire value chain.

Let’s start with the basis:

👉🏻 How do I access? Find the PLM work section within the sidebar. Traceability > PLM

Here, you’ll see everything assigned to your products along all stages of the value chain.

Information is categorized in three sections according to the scope they belong to: articles, materials or suppliers.
Each of the sections will give you different and useful information to know in depth your collections. Keep in mind, for this feature to work, you need to have the materials, articles and suppliers uploaded into the system – with all information filled in.

If you want to know in more detail your material, article or supplier, access the specific sheet by clicking on the little arrow on the side where you will find more detailed information about the product. For example, its traceability, its transport, or its origins.

How can I move through the different scopes?

Don’t miss your suppliers and materials! In PLM you not only have control of all your items, but you can also access information about your materials and suppliers. Access the arrow right ⬇️ next to the header and from there with the dropdown navigate to the scope you want to see. Automatically, the list of items will be changed to the one you have chosen. Do you want to go back? You can click again!

How can I edit and customize my tables?

You can imagine that this space can get quite busy, especially if you have a lot of references analyzed and plotted. Quickly narrow down the results with this 🔍 handy search tool and see only the item you are looking for. You can also organize your results, sort the columns by clicking on the little arrow ⬇️⬆️ to sort numerically or alphabetically depending on the content of the column.

How can I get a more complete view of my products, suppliers or materials?
