Background
For 25 years, Parigi Group’s stable of brands has played a major role in the fashion industry and are
some of the main contributors in helping to shape and define the children’s fashion apparel market.
Parigi Group has maintained high standards for quality, trend-right garments that speak to today’s
savvy and fashion-conscious tween. Parigi Group brands include Nicole Miller Kids, Puma Kids, DKNY
Kids, Timberland, Akademiks for Boys, Apple Bottoms for Girls, LRG for Boys, Phat Farm Boys and
Baby Phat Girlz brands.
The Challenge
Prior to implementing NGC's Extended PLM, Parigi Group needed a
solution to help manage and control product development, standardize
business processes, provide production tracking and reduce cycle times.
Parigi Group wanted to provide greater value to its retail partners by
reducing its cycle time, increasing speed to market, and improving accuracy. With headquarters in New York, a sourcing office in Hong Kong and
factories throughout Asia, Parigi Group realized it needed a PLM system
to help the company manage its global operations.
The Solution
Parigi Group chose NGC’s Extended PLM software to provide
end-to-end visibility throughout the supply chain, enhance collaboration, improve timeliness and accuracy of products, and
help the company manage its increasingly complex, fast-paced
business. NGC’s New York office worked closely with Parigi
Group to implement the PLM solution, completing the rollout in
less than 100 days.

The Benefits of NGC PLM
In addition to overall benefits such as enhanced collaboration and workflow, improved accuracy and better design productivity, Parigi Group has identified three specific benefits resulting
from the implementation.
"For our design teams, we now have a standard approach to creating tech packs as well as a
company-wide centralized database that can be accessed in real time, 24 hours a day," says Anthony Finamore, vice president of product development for Parigi Group. Finamore notes that
while Parigi's children's wear business model is very complex, "NGC was able to configure their
software to accommodate the specific needs of our technical design teams." Furthermore,
Finamore adds that Parigi has experienced overall cost savings in both operations and production – benefits that have a positive impact on the bottom line.
The Bottom Line
Anthony Finamore sums up by saying that NGC's PLM solution has given Parigi a "cost-effective,
flexible and multifaceted approach to lifecycle management. We now have a unified solution
for product development, P.O. management, production tracking and shipment tracking – and
that helps give us an advantage in a very competitive market."
