How WFX PLM Gives France’s SAS DUDES More Creative Time

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 This reliance on outdated systems resulted in scattered information and fragmented communication, making it cumbersome to track product developments and communicate effectively with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.

Whether we want to launch a product, identify a problem, or use a tech pack to create a new product, WFX makes it easier in every way. It's powerful, efficient, and timesaving for a clothing brand like ours, totally transforming how we manage our production processes. We're also planning to add our suppliers on WFX by next year.
