Challenges they faced
Before the integration of WFX PLM, SAS DUDES faced a series of significant operational bottlenecks that severely limited their efficiency and ability to scale. The company heavily relied on manual tools such as spreadsheets and Adobe Illustrator files to manage an extensive array of product designs, which led to operational inefficiencies and scaling issues.
According to Max Jacob, General Director of SAS DUDES, managing the high volume of products and associated files became increasingly challenging: "We tried to organize everything with our factories through these tools, but it was too many sheets and too many products, which became very difficult to manage." This reliance on outdated systems resulted in scattered information and fragmented communication, making it cumbersome to track product developments and communicate effectively with suppliers.
Additionally, the administrative burden of manually maintaining numerous files and coordinating with manufacturing partners often detracted from the team’s creative processes, further compounding the challenges faced by the burgeoning fashion company.
