Brooks Sports Selects PTC PLM Footwear and Apparel Technology
PTC Windchill® FlexPLM® to streamline product development, materials management and
sourcing requirements
NEEDHAM, MA – September 12, 2013 – Brooks Sports, Inc., a subsidiary of Berkshire
Hathaway Inc. and a large manufacturer and marketer of running footwear and apparel, will
implement PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC) Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) technology. The
implementation will enable Brooks Sports to move a single system to streamline product
development, materials management and sourcing requirements.
Brooks Sports is experiencing rapid growth across its product lines. To accommodate this
growth, Brooks Sports realized the need to redefine business processes and product development
initiatives to deliver product to market faster. PTC PLM technology will enable the company to
reduce cycle times through improved operational efficiency from initial concept to store
delivery, ultimately improving overall profitability.
According to the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Retail Product Life-Cycle Management (PLM)
Applications 2012 Vendor Assessment report, “PTC has the largest share of the retail PLM
market and generally makes the short list of large retailers looking specifically for apparel,
footwear, and hard line PLM solutions.” The report continues, “PTC Windchill FlexPLM offers
a broad set of out-of-the-box capabilities that cover merchandising and line planning, product
development, sourcing, costing, quality, compliance, and supply chain.”
“Brooks Sports wanted to standardize on a footwear and apparel-specific PLM technology
foundation to support our growth plans,” said David Bohan, president and chief operating
officer, Brooks Sports, Inc. “We chose PTC Windchill FlexPLM because it will give us
visibility early in the development cycles and will enable us to share design, materials and
costing information between ourselves and our suppliers to achieve our growth plans.”
In addition, Brooks Sports was particularly interested in the proven processes and practices
enabled by out-of-the-box capabilities of PTC Windchill FlexPLM. The PTC Windchill-based
enterprise solution for the Retail and Consumer industries is designed to address both industryspecific challenges, as well as everyday business pressures. It offers a high-performance platform
that provides line planning, specification management, merchandising, product development,
sourcing, costing, quality and compliance with full supply chain collaboration capabilities for
managing the complete product lifecycle.
“Within the fast-paced environment of today’s footwear and apparel industries, business leaders
are increasingly looking to collapse design, development and sourcing activities in order to
reduce cycle time, achieve cost objectives and improve the success rate of new products across
their various channels,” said Howard Heppelmann, general manager, SCM segment, PTC. “By
providing visibility across all functions and enabling greater supply chain collaboration,
customers can address initiatives in parallel and achieve the ultimate goal of delivering great
products on-trend, on-time and on-cost. We look forward to working with Brooks Sports.”
