For companies wanting to build their own PLM, planning, competitive benchmarking or trend analysis solution, they should also consider what partnering with the right vendor can mean.

Consumer goods brands, retailers and manufacturers need to keep up with numerous industry challenges and constant shifts in consumer demands and trends. And to do this companies need to make sure they have the right tech in place.

For retailers and consumer goods such as fashion, footwear, home goods, luxury, outdoor, consumer electronics, cosmetics & personal care, food & beverage and groceries, there are software vendors offering tech solutions specifically tailored to those industries. However some companies will still choose to build their own homegrown software.
