Colombia’s leading fashion textile group, Manufacturas Eliot, has partnered with Coats Digital to implement VisionPLM a product lifecycle management solution designed specifically for the fashion industry. The move marks a strategic milestone in Eliot’s digital transformation journey, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, boosting collaboration, and accelerating speed to market across its portfolio of brands: Patprimo, Seven Seven, Ostu, and Atmos.

Founded in 1957, Manufacturas Eliot produces over 20 million garments annually through its vertically integrated operations. The group is widely recognised for its commitment to accessible, high-quality fashion and is continuously investing in technologies that support sustainable, future-ready operations.

VisionPLM will centralise design, sourcing, and supplier collaboration into a single platform, offering greater traceability, faster development cycles, and more informed decision-making. This integrated solution is expected to streamline product development, cut response times, and strengthen communication across cross-functional teams.

Juliana Pérez, Design Director at Seven Seven, said the new system will allow design teams to manage collections more efficiently and enhance inter-departmental collaboration. Planning Director Angela Quevedo added that VisionPLM will improve information flow, boost operational coordination, and enable quicker decisions across the supply chain.

Oscar González of Coats Digital - LATAM noted that the deployment of VisionPLM reflects Eliot’s commitment to building a connected, agile operation that aligns with the fast-evolving demands of the global fashion market. He emphasized that the platform empowers Eliot to make smarter, faster decisions, reinforcing its strategy for innovation and long-term growth.
