4 Our Solutions Throughout our solutions, workflow calendars, collaboration tools, exception management, and automated alerts ensure that design and production schedules stay on track. As a result, companies can understand the real-time status of each product in their line at every step of design and production enabling users to instantly understand every detail at all times. NGC s Extended PLM SCM Line Planning: NGC takes line planning far beyond its traditional role to also encompass financial line planning and line reporting, enabling companies to understand sales trends, see the impact of line changes on overall performance, and instantly see the status of products. Sampling: NGC allows users to request samples, track their status, enter the evaluation results, and approve/reject with comments and images. Whether users are requesting samples for prototypes, fit approval, preproduction, TOPs, or salesmen, NGC can manage them all. Tech Pack Creation: NGC simplifies this process and allows many different users to contribute to the formation of tech packs. Styles can be created or updated faster than ever before by utilizing libraries of sketches, images, colors, materials, costsheets, grade rules, construction details, and packing instructions. Digital Asset Management: Adobe Illustrator files are seamlessly managed within NGC s PLM, allowing designers to utilize their current toolset. Every image can hold metadata such as category, notes, and keywords, making it easy to catalog and store the file within the library. Materials Management: NGC s Material Library allows users to request materials from a variety of suppliers, proceed with sampling and approvals, and utilize pricing details at the color level. Labdip and strikeoff approvals are automatically linked to the styles using them, and users can easily see the approval status by material or finished product. Costing: Accurate costing can be the difference between profit and loss, and NGC allows users to create multiple costing options for each style, determine which items must be negotiated in order to hit a target, capture the actual costs by PO or shipment to determine variances from the original estimates, and much more. Sourcing: NGC allows companies to easily create RFQs, select the participating vendors based upon various criteria (such as capacity or special machinery), compare landing costs by vendor, and release the RFQ. Sourcing plans can be managed at the macro level (percentage of business by region and country) and the micro level (each vendor s production load by week). Testing and Compliance: NGC tracks and manages the entire testing process for both finished products and components including initiating test results, integrating to third-party labs, testing of styles and materials, tracking and approving test results, and automatically creating the COC/GCC with all required information.

5 Purchase Order Management: Vendors are automatically notified of new or revised PO s that need acknowledgment and can easily update Work-In- Process so users can track production schedules. Users can create go/no-go calendars to maximize assortment flexibility with Just-In-Time decisions and instantly check global progress for specific products, categories and deliveries. Quality Control: Users can request quality audits throughout the production process, and if an audit fails, a QC manager will be notified and corrective action will be taken. More importantly, NGC can analyze the trends over a period of time, providing guidance when making sourcing decisions and identifying which factories need improvements. Logistics Management: NGC enables users to create bar code labels, inbound paperwork and ASNs for every shipment. NGC s PLM also creates the Importer Security Filing required by Customs and Border Patrol s 10+2 law. Users can track shipments as they reach each location and in the event of delay, notifications are sent to make sure that shipments are expedited. Vendor Payment Automation: NGC brings unparalleled efficiency to the authorization and payment of vendor invoices. Flexible, built-in rules for automatic matching allow companies to sort through invoices and other required documents to quickly compare the essential metrics such as price, quantity, quality, testing and more. Upon receipt of vendor invoices, the system automatically validates the information. Mobile Selling: NGC s PLM and ERP solutions seamlessly integrate with NuOrder fashion selling software, to help sales reps interact more effectively with buyers online and with mobile devices. Fashion sales reps can instantly get product information from NGC s PLM system including digital assets, color swatches, size ranges, and product descriptions.
