With the launch of Valia Fashion, Lectra propels fashion brands and manufacturers into a new technological era
Faced with the technological challenges posed by the transformation of a market constantly requiring more agility and cost control, the transition to Industry 4.0 is a key factor in the performance, profitability and sustainability of production processes. With Valia Fashion, brands, manufacturers and subcontractors in the fashion industry can adapt more easily and quickly, whatever their type of production (small, medium and large series, or on-demand production).
With the rise of online shopping, the popularity of personalized products, the rapid evolution of trends, costly inventory management and an increased focus on price as well as environmental and social issues, consumers' patterns are changing profoundly, impacting supply chains and clothing production. Many brands now favor the production of small series, along with and in addition to their usual seasonal collections.
Manufacturers and subcontractors must produce a larger number of smaller orders, limiting economies of scale. They must gain agility and control their production costs while addressing environmental issues. To successfully carry out this transformation, the different stakeholders involved in production must communicate and process information in real time. Digitalization thus becomes essential to collaborate effectively and preserve industry expertise.
