“The relevance of FIT consultants to the retail business. The warm welcome at your premises during our visit!”
Convincing Promod of the importance of implementing PLM
Presentation 👋
Promod is a French women’s ready-to-wear brand, founded in 1975. The brand stands out for its commitment to a robust internal information system, while striving to modernize it. The brand aims to strengthen its market presence through two main strategic axes: the development of its collections via an upstream merchandising tool, and the expansion of these collections through the use of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. Our Fit Retail consultants were called in to help secure this project.
