PAD Debuts PDM Software

Montreal-based PAD System Technologies Inc. has debuted a new Web–based product–data management package called Manager 4.5.

The program allows users to access, create, modify and manage product development information via the Internet. The system coordinates style design attributes, shipping costs, store suppliers and clients’ contact information as well as data from other PAD products, such as the grading and pattern– and marker–making systems.

The PDM system can calculate total garment costs, including material charges, labor and other overhead costs such as shipping and handling and mark-ups. For more information, visit www.padsystem.com. The company also has an office in the California Market Center. Call (213) 688-7731. —Robert McAlister
