Topson Downs, a private label manufacturer of apparel, has selected e-PLM and e-SPS software from New Generation Computing as an integrated system for product lifecycle management and global sourcing.

According to New Generation Computing (NGC), e-PLM and e-SPS will provide a strategic platform for Topson’s continued growth, while centralizing communications, streamlining operations, eliminating redundancies and transforming overall efficiency.

NGC claims that e-PLM and e-SPS cover every step of the complex design/production process – from design concept through sourcing and product quality, to receipt at the DC – with a web-based system that centralizes information, enhances collaboration, and streamlines workflows to transform the product lifecycle.

NGC’s software is expected to enable Topson Downs to provide fast turnaround and maintain better design and production quality standards for its customers, without adding additional staff.

Jill Spielman, CFO of Topson Downs, said: In today’s economy, it’s critical for apparel companies to do more with less, and to streamline operations and improve efficiency wherever possible. NGC’s software enables us to do that, while also improving gross margins and lowering costs.

Alan Brooks, president of NGC, said: Topson Downs has an impressive customer base of leading retailers, and e-PLM and e-SPS are the ideal tools for helping the company thrive even in the midst of a difficult economy. NGC is excited to be working with Topson Downs, and we look forward to a successful partnership.
