December 2008

Zweave Inc. and TransWeave, Inc. have developed a proprietary methodology for rapid, inexpensive and enterprise-wide implementation of seamless PLM / ERP combined software solution for apparel retailers and manufacturers.

TransWeave’s apparel domain and implementation expertise join with Zweave’s SaaS PLM and SAP ERP Apparel Footwear Solutions (AFS) to provide a powerful best in class industry-specific, end-to-end solution for Product Lifecycle Management.

“TransWeave’s initial business model was to provide implementation of SAP’s ERP IS Retail and Wholesale Distribution and manufacturing solution for our apparel retail and manufacturing clients,” said Mumtaz Kutty, TransWeave’s CEO. “Our clients quickly told us that they wanted more. They wanted an end-to-end solution, one that managed seasonality, trends and everything from Concept to Design (PLM), as well as planning and execution.

We chose Zweave’s PLM because, more than any other option in the market, it is easy to use, easy to implement and it is designed specifically for the apparel industry.”

Laura McCann, Zweave’s CEO states, “By partnering with Transweave, we have found an exciting and beneficial way to serve the midsize manufacturer and retailer of apparel. These organizations need the seamless interaction of ERP and PLM – a total solution for integrating information technology across the entire product lifecycle at the right cost and with minimal disruption to the business.

Zweave’s solution consists of 16 modular ‘studios’ that work seamlessly together while allowing for segmentation of work by task and job function. The results are an easy to use system that is both efficient and powerful. Zweave PLM has complete functionality in trend, merchandising, color, fabric, material, fit, design, graphics, packaging, samples, costing, vendor management, production, marketing materials and showroom.
