For the third time, the best IT solutions and trends will be on display on the IT@Texprocess platform at Texprocess, leading international trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials that will be held from 4-7 May 2015.

Under the title of Powerful Software Solutions for the Fashion Industry, Texprocess offers all manufacturers of software for the clothing sector the opportunity to present their products to an international trade public. The platform is aimed specifically at companies offering IT solutions for use in the processing and marketing of technical textiles.

IT solutions

More and more companies from the textile and apparel industry are switching on to the advantages of IT solutions in their sector.

Modern software optimises and accelerates broad areas of sourcing, manufacture and sales, as well as financial reporting and customer relationship management.

Trends such as 3D visualisation, RFID and the Smart Factory will in future greatly aid product life-cycle management and multi-channel sales in the sector. Today's tools are also adapted for smartphones and tablets offering possibilities for augmented reality and digital fitting.

Innovation in fashion

“IT solutions are amongst the most important drivers of innovation in the fashion industry, as they continue to optimise the value creation process further and further. This is very important for the flexibility and rapidity of response in the sector, which often sells as many as twelve collections during the year,” said Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies.

“The range of products in the IT@Texprocess section, therefore, stretches from inventory control to product life-cycle management, from fashion design to pattern creation with the help of 3D imaging.”

Improved interaction

“It is no longer possible to imagine the fashion industry without IT these days,” commented Guido Brackelsberg, Managing Director of Setlog. “The use of modern software and cloud-based applications increases transparency in the supply chain, simplifies interaction between internal and external areas of the business and speeds up the whole process of sourcing and logistics.

“There are some new and exciting innovations here and we, therefore, thoroughly recommend a visit to the IT@Texprocess section.”

Texprocess 2015 will be taking place concurrently with Techtextil, an international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens. Texprocess 2013 welcomed 330 exhibitors who presented their products and services. Over 20,000 trade visitors from 98 countries attended this leading international trade fair, including 8,100 visitors from the parallel Techtextil.
