LECTRA: Lectra and H&M host seminar for Bangladesh apparel manufacturers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lectra and H&M host seminar for Bangladesh apparel manufacturers
Aligning technology to foster long-term relationships
Paris, June 25, 2015 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-recently held a seminar for
Bangladesh suppliers of fashion retail chain H&M in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Organized in partnership with H&M and Lectra agent Aamra Resources, the two-day
event addressed today''s trends and market challenges, putting special emphasis
on the importance of working collaboratively across the supply chain. Lectra
experts demonstrated how synchronizing technology and process between brands and
manufacturers can ensure a long-term, sustainable working relationship that is
more efficient and profitable for both.
More than 100 people from 51 different companies attended the seminar, which was
held at the fashion retailer''s Dhaka headquarters. Members of the H&M production
team were also on hand to lend their support. The goal was to provide local
industry players with insight into the challenges and priorities of a global
retailer like H&M, whose production outsourcing to Bangladesh has steadily
increased in recent years. This put attendees in a better position to make
strategic business decisions that strengthen their position as a preferred
supplier for the fashion retail chain over the long term.
H&M''s decision to upgrade to the latest version of Lectra''s product development
solution Modaris(®) across its worldwide install base was the main catalyst for
the event. Lectra experts walked seminar participants through different
scenarios that demonstrated the advantages of supporting product-development
processes with technology that is aligned between retailers and suppliers.
"When retailers and suppliers use different technology, or even different
versions of the same technology, the potential for information loss increases
every time data is transferred from one party to another," explains Judy
Gnaedig, Strategic Account Manager, Lectra. "Working on the same technology not
only improves productivity by eliminating redundant tasks, it also ensures that
data remains intact and accurate throughout the product development process.
This protects product quality and fit, which is a tremendous competitive
advantage."
