From intent to execution

How the work connects.

Follow the decisions, information and handoffs that bring product creation into your retail operation.

01
Define the product and its requirements
Bring trend research, sourcing and tech-pack work into the same product journey. JCP Create connects fashion development from the initial concept through production and catalog preparation, carrying product details and review responsibilities between teams.
02
Map how the product will be made
Identify the handoffs between design, sourcing and business operations. Discuss made-to-order requirements with JCP Horizon and broader fashion operating workflows with JCP Impetus, using an actual product journey to define the boundaries.
03
Prepare the information your channels need
Define the attributes, variants, descriptions and imagery required for a complete product record. Use JCP AI PIM's catalog organization and enrichment scope to discuss how information is reviewed and prepared for commerce channels.

A little more detail

Questions about product creation.

How is product creation different from catalog management?

Product creation concerns developing and specifying the product. Catalog management concerns organizing the information used to present and sell it. The handoff should preserve identifiers and approved details while meeting each channel's requirements.

What should a made-to-order workflow discussion include?

Bring the choices a customer can make, the information needed to produce the item and the approval points before work proceeds. These define the workflow to discuss for JCP Horizon.

Can catalog work be scoped on its own?

Start with a representative category and its existing product records. Define completeness, variants and review rules, then examine the JCP AI PIM scope against those requirements before planning wider connections.
