About the Project

Vita Group’s Sprout brand decided to implement Oracle Cloud Fusion Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). They thought that Oracle PLM Cloud could deliver business benefits to them. Sprout continuously develops new products and enhances existing products in the fast-moving technical accessories market.

Oracle PLM Cloud accelerates innovation and new product introductions by efficiently managing items, parts, products, documents, requirements, engineering change orders, and quality workflows across globalized supply chains.
