Data from PLM: composition, measurements and origin
Audio narration · listen first
Fabric composition, the size chart, care and origin information are not invented in PIM; they are created in PLM during product development. PIM takes this information without retyping it and turns it into language the customer understands.
In this part
- You can tell which information is owned by PLM and which by PIM.
- You see how the "online measurement" sent to the customer is chosen from the size chart.
- You understand how retyping the composition by hand leads to conflicts with the label and to returns.
- You learn that the same information also feeds the digital product passport.
