Geometric showcased its apparel solution ‘D.R.A.P.E.D.’ at Miami’s Technology Solutions Expo in April and is since rumoured to have secured a large fashion and lifestyle client.

Geometric are not the first PLM vendor to expand their market reach.  Market leader and software partner, Dassault Systemes, have also moved into less traditional PLM industries.
