Case Study: SPANX achieves streamlined product development and faster time-to-market with NGC Software

Shapewear Designer Spanx Enhances Product Development, Collaboration and Efficiency with Extended PLM

SPANX, founded by Sara Blakely, is a leading shapewear designer sold through major and specialty retailers worldwide. Rapid growth — expanding product lines, staff, and tripling the number of factories within a year — made the company’s spreadsheet-based product development and factory collaboration processes unmanageable, creating information bottlenecks and slowing workflows.

SPANX deployed NGC’s integrated PLM and global sourcing to centralize sketches, specifications, digital assets and production information, and to give factories direct access to each style’s communication thread. The solution improved designer productivity, sped concept-to-production timelines, expanded product availability and strengthened factory collaboration, resulting in faster deliveries to retailers and measurable time and overhead savings.
