YuniquePLM, from Gerber Technology the leader in CAD/CAM, a web-based platform that helps businesses of all sizes to reduce lead time and improve margins by managing the details of line plans, tech packs, samples, as well as simplifying communication and collaboration with global partners, has been implemented by three leading retailers around the globe. To date, many prominent fashion brands have implemented YuniquePLM including Abercrombie & Fitch, Adorn Fashions, Aéropostale, Aigle, Bugatti, Cutter and Buck, Du Pareil au Même, Fruit of the Loom, Icicle, Jonathan & Fletcher, Kenneth Cole and Lafodex, among others.
Among the latest brands to select YuniquePLM®, is Fila USA, a subsidiary of Fila Korea to manage its footwear development process. YuniquePLM will enable Fila to reap the benefits of a world-class PLM system while increasing collaboration and communication between the company’s affiliated sourcing centres in Asia, and its operations in Maryland and New York. Fila USA has experienced significant growth in the past few years and realized that, to manage such growth, a robust PLM system was critical. “Now we have an integrated solution that enables designers and developers to collaborate and communicate easily with their supply chain,” said Sandy Hamilton, Director of Information Technology at Fila. Adding further, she said, “Our decision came down to ease of implementation and user adoption. After evaluating several solutions, what made Yunique Solutions stand out was the high regard for their software in the industry and their commitment to the post-sales relationship.”
The premier French brand known for its high-performance winter wear and sportswear, Jonathan & Fletcher® has selected Gerber Technology’s YuniquePLM® system to improve visibility and accelerate speed to market. Jonathan & Fletcher is proud to have crafted race suits for athletes competing in the Sochi Winter Olympics, including five-time Olympic champion, Shiva Keshavan, of India. Georges Pessey, Founder of Jonathan & Fletcher said, “YuniquePLM helps us bring our products to market as fast as possible and with the highest quality. Thanks to the team of industry experts at Yunique Solutions, we now benefit from greater visibility and efficiency and, because all information is now accessible in one centralized system, we are able to collaborate with our entire supply chain around the world.”
Not far behind, is Bosco Sport, Russia’s premier sportswear company which has implemented the system to accelerate production and delivery of uniforms to hundreds of Olympic athletes and more than 45,000 volunteers. A Yunique Solutions’ customer since 2012, Bosco is able to import product style data and bills of material directly from the company’s existing Galileo ERP system, thereby improving the decision making process, eliminating redundant data entry and accelerating product to market.“YuniquePLM has enabled us to standardize the business cycle that was previously more fragmented, helping us to have better control over our line of sportswear and leisure fashions,” said Stefano Montanari, CEO of Bosco Sport Italy. With YuniquePLM, Bosco’s largest customer in Russia enters a sketch into the system along with the product details and, almost instantly, the engineering department in Italy is able to move the product into production.
