Founded in 1966, Zamasport has built a sturdy reputation for its expertise in developing entire collections of the high-end range, from creating the first prototype of a garment up to its production. Initially designing and distributing knitwear through its brand Callaghan, the company eventually branched out into manufacturing, becoming a crowd favorite among luxury brands. Today, the company develops more than twenty collections per year for premium brands. Due to its success and globalization, Zamasport finds itself facing demands for higher-volume orders to be delivered on time while maintaining high quality standards.
"We are a very dynamic company and our top priority right now is to gain momentum and flexibility in order to fulfill our clients' demands. Simulating product development cost estimates in advance will save us a huge amount of time. To do so, we need a comprehensive system where accurate information from different divisions can be aggregated and shared. We have been a Lectra customer for over twenty years, so Lectra Fashion PLM came naturally as the first choice to us. We have experienced firsthand the effectiveness of Lectra's design, marker-making and automated cutting solutions and in-depth expertise, which gave us the perfect fit and quality of our garments. This drew customers to us in the first place. We are happy to work with a trustworthy and reliable partner such as Lectra," says Amedeo Cioffi, General Manager Zamasport.
Zamasport will implement Lectra Fashion PLM in their product and collection development process. Specifically made for the fashion industry, this user-friendly solution will serve as a collaborative platform for all teams involved in the design-to-production process. The teams will be able to communicate and share accurate information in real time, enabling them to hasten their decision-making process. As a result, fabric waste, overlapping tasks and errors will be avoided, dramatically reducing time to market.
"Zamasport is a world-class manufacturer catering to leading luxury brands. The professionalism of its staff is reflected in their desire to keep up with the evolving needs of its clientele. Given our longstanding partnership and level of mutual trust, we are excited to embark on this new chapter with Zamasport," says Fabio Canali, Managing Director Lectra Italy.
