ELK scales globally with WFX

Challenges they faced

ELK's design team's precious creative time was hindered by operational dependency on various spreadsheets and excel-based technical specifications.

The existing excel-based Tech packs required manual and time-consuming data entry, prompting ELK's Leadership team to look for an end-to-end product lifecycle management solution for their fashion business that would allow the design team to streamline and improve productivity and efficiency in their roles.

Our experience with WFX has been nothing short of fantastic, and their personnel is exceedingly accommodating. WFX has been our PLM, and I'm confident it would be an excellent pick for any fashion company.
