Based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, ‘My Collection’ provides Arvind Lifestyle Brands with a single and unified digital environment that connects internal and external stakeholders, integrates their supply chain, and improves visibility, flexibility and decision support for multiple and diverse product categories.

“We selected Dassault Systèmes’ ‘My Collection’ industry solution experience to help us enhance product line architecture, technical product development, sourcing, costing and pre-production processes,” said J. Suresh, managing director, Arvind Lifestyle Brands. “The value we see in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform combined with the industry knowledge of Dassault Systèmes’ value-added reseller Simbus Technologies, is a winning proposition for us.”
“The retail ‘speed to market’ cycle continues to shrink every year across all categories, increasing the pressure on retail supply chains for brands and the need for efficient internal and external processes for brands and retailers,” said Susan Olivier, vice president, consumer goods and retail industry, Dassault Systèmes. “This is particularly relevant in India, whose retail market is predicted to grow significantly in the next five years. With Dassault Systèmes’ ‘My Collection’ industry solution experience, Arvind Lifestyle Brands is taking the digital steps toward achieving global operational efficiency.”
