Discover e-Solutions Ltd. (DeSL) is pleased to announce the release of the latest digital color technology module in the company’s suite of software applications designed to enable brands, mills and factories to readily embrace and deploy end to end digital transformation.

The traditional approach to color management has become outdated, open to error and time and money consuming. As brands strive towards complete digital transformation of the supply chain, color management is often forgotten, or misinterpreted.

DeSL’s software solution, created to communicate color requirements at a scientific and digital level throughout the enterprise, enables companies to completely digitalize the previous manual processes which were reliant on a plethora of physical samples previously evaluated via human eye. It is now possible for brands and mills to approve lab dips and strike off’s in real time over the cloud without the need for physical samples to be sent.

The solution integrates with a range of equipment such as spectrophotometers, digital fabric printers and sublimation printers to shorten production timelines and ensure that quality of color/print is consistent from initial definition right through to final production, irrespective of physical location.

Getting color wrong can lead to increased returns and markdowns. By digitizing color into the supply chain, brands are ensuring consistent color through controlled and scientific methods involving all parties in the process.

To continue the conversation, DeSL’s Julian Mussi, Vice President of Business Solutions, is speaking about the Holistic Approach to Color Management of Digitally Printed Textiles at AATCC/SGIA Digital Textile Printing Conference 4.0 on December 11.

Introducing DeSL’s Dynamic Purchasing Platform designed to provide fashion companies of any size the tools to more effectively manage and control purchases of products from initial requisition through to delivery. Dynamic Purchasing Platform is part of the series of specialized, standalone, or fully integrated modules for supply chain digital transformation.

Despite buying merchandise being the largest expense in most organizations, many brands in the fashion sector still control purchasing with outdated ERP software or manually created spreadsheets. These antiquated methods provide little to no visibility of PO progress, with a total reliance on emails to communicate with vendors, and no integration to product specifications or agreed costing processes.

DeSL’s Digital Purchase Order enables the further expansion of digital transformation by fashion companies globally. With real time workflow driven integration to existing ERP systems and logistic providers, Dynamic Purchasing Platform offers powerful functions including progress tracking, centralized communication, tightly coupled product specifications and full visibility to buying budgets, cash flow projections, and planned costs.

Dynamic Purchasing Platform module delivers a complete end to end tool for managing suppliers and covers all activities in the procurement processes. The cloud based platform gives users access to a real time, web based overview of the supply chain incorporating suppliers, vendors, and mills.

DeSL is pleased to announce its Small-Medium Business (SMB) Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) partnership with Weartek PTY Ltd. Founded in 2016, Weartek works closely with clients to create high quality, customizable, industry specific uniforms and apparel. With heavy focus on practical design and customization, Weartek needed a workflow software solution to optimize each step of the process.

PLM isn’t just for large corporations, this is why DeSL created a subscription based SMB PLM. DeSL recognizes the success SMBs could obtain with a cloud based PLM to track and manage the supply chain. The web based communication hub eliminates excel and email, gives teams complete access to all product and sourcing information, and allows for easy collaboration with vendors.

“At Weartek, we pride ourselves on our ability to innovate performance workwear and have invested a great deal of time and energy into collaborating with a supply chain that echoes our vision. However, as a small business, managing the demands of the marketplace, frequently changing industries and a global supply chain can be quite a juggle,” explains Nick Pearce, Director of Weartek. “We’re excited to be working with DeSL’s SMB PLM to streamline our workflows so that our resources can be better spent designing and innovating exciting new products and materials. By utilizing DeSL’s cloud based software, we’re able to access everything we need to continue to scale our business, from anywhere in the world.”

DeSL embraces partnerships with SMB clients by providing a scalable PLM solution to support rapid growth for companies such as Weartek, giving SMBs confidence to expand without outgrowing the PLM’s capabilities. Weartek can add additional features when needed to maintain complete control over its entire supply chain.

DeSL is pleased to announce its partnership with Augusta Sportswear Brands. Founded in 1977, Augusta Sportswear Brands is recognized as a top name for designing, manufacturing, and producing full lines of performance and athletic apparel and uniforms.

The growing demand for new product development and faster speed to market pressure led Augusta Sportswear Brands to seek out a robust PLM for sportswear software solution to fit its increasing requirements. After an exhaustive search of potential vendors, DeSL was selected as a partner. The implementation encompasses a wide set of tools beginning with DeSL’s Product Lifecycle Management and is backed by Supplier Relationship Management, Enterprise Business Intelligence, and Ai Plug-in modules.

Upon signing Elicia Riley Dorn, Director of Product Design, stated, “We are very excited about our new partnership with DeSL. The process of looking for a new PLM solution began when we realized our current system couldn’t handle our needs as a rapidly growing company. DeSL’s PLM is equipped with tools such as Adobe Plug-in, line planning, and supplier relationship management—to name a few—that will allow us to become faster and more collaborative both internally and externally.” Libby Trentadue, Sr. Product Line Manager, followed up, “And when we are ready to grow PLM into other teams, within our business, we can work directly with DeSL versus finding another source.”

DeSL’s complete PLM solution delivers a true web based, real time, collaborative framework specifically aimed at reducing development time. With the signing now complete, DeSL is ready to begin the strategic implementation process with Augusta Sportswear Brands’ team.
