TOLLAND, CONN. – Gerber Technology, the world leader in integrated software and automation solutions for the apparel and industrial markets, announced that three companies have chosen its YuniquePLM In The Cloud solution.

 

CC Filson

 

CC Filson, a Seattle-based company and a privately owned outfitter and manufacturer of goods for outdoor enthusiasts, chose the software to further both internal and external collaboration.

 

The company designs, manufactures, distributes and sells men's and women's outdoor clothing, accessories and luggage. CC Filson selected Gerber Technology’s YuniquePLM In The Cloud to shorten product development cycles and improve their time to market. They have a long relationship of optimizing their efficiency with other Gerber Technology solutions including AccuMark® in their technical design and marker making department as well as GERBERspreaders™ and GERBERcutters® in their Seattle operations.

 

“We are now implementing YuniquePLM In The Cloud and are excited to have a process that allows our company greater visibility and effortless communication among our internal and external manufacturing teams,” said Steve Bock, CEO of CC Filson. “Having one source to manage all of our product development enables us to manage our calendars and costing more efficiently.”

 

With their YuniquePLM and AccuMark integration, workflows will be more efficient. Files can be moved or saved to both systems; image and information databases can be transferred from one system to the other; and bills of materials (BOMs) can be initiated in AccuMark and saved to YuniquePLM to accelerate product development.

 

“We are thrilled to be partnering with such a great American brand and manufacturer. The design and exceptional quality of their products are an inspiration to the industry and to American manufacturing,” said Bill Brewster, vice president and general manager, enterprise software solutions for Gerber Technology. “Working with Filson for product lifecycle management is a part of an integrated approach to drive innovation and increase speed to market from inspiration through to design and manufacturing. The ability to integrate is the basis of this great partnership.”

 

In September 2016, the solution earned an unprecedented four-star rating from WhichPLM, a leading digital magazine focused on product development in the fashion industry. Other prominent YuniquePLM users include Los Angeles lifestyle brand Celebrity Pink Jeans; Carrefour®, the second-largest retail chain in the world; and French work wear manufacturer Mulliez-Flory®.

 

YuniquePLM In The Cloud was the first PLM system for the apparel industry to be in the cloud and available as a Saas. YuniquePLM In The Cloud has a quick implementation, allows companies to lower operating costs, and is scalable when their business grows. It streamlines design and development, helping users get the right products to market sooner. Intuitive and easy to use, YuniquePLM integrates seamlessly with Gerber’s AccuMark CAD software and the Adobe® suite.

 

Hotel Particulier

 

Hotel Particulier is the first in France to implement YuniquePLM In The Cloud for improved quality and quicker time to market.

 

Juliette Rizal founded Hotel Particulier, a French fur company, and established their first retail location in 1951. Now run by her grandson, the heritage brand shines with cool, easy silhouettes rooted in time-honored luxury.

 

“In order to provide the fur trade with a high-quality product, the software behind the scenes needs to match,” said Eddy Rizal, CEO of Hotel Particulier. “YuniquePLM In The Cloud will allow us to have more effective management of the product development cycle, while simultaneously improving product quality.”

 

By implementing YuniquePLM In The Cloud, Hotel Particulier will have effective management of their product life cycle by improving communications of product status and data with its integrated how-to-measure guides, style and image versioning and auto generation of comments. Comparative workflow views also allow for a more streamlined operation across all channels.

 

“Hotel Particulier is going to notice an immediate shift in how timely and efficient their online tracking will become,” said Brewster. “The user-friendly interface and tangible usability features are sure to make user adoption quick and simple.”

 

Companies are under significant competitive pressures to design, develop and produce their products faster and more efficiently while ensuring they get the right products to market at the right time and at the right price. YuniquePLM’s cloud-based subscription is flexible, scalable and eliminates costly information technology infrastructure. It is the culmination of extensive customer feedback and is perfect for any sized fashion company looking for an industry-leading PLM solution.

 

YuniquePLM In The Cloud represents the first opportunity to get world-class PLM from the industry leader at a very affordable subscription rate, with minimal implementation effort and a wealth of self-learning tools on Gerber University.

 

Trox

 

Trox AB has selected YuniquePLM to help get control of their entire product development process. Trox AB supplies the automotive industry with vehicle protection systems. The tailor-made covers are delivered ready for application directly to a specific vehicle model. These protection systems are currently designed for each vehicle model requested without using previous styles as a starting point.

 

“Implementation of a PLM system we can search to utilize previous styles will result in a major time savings when beginning a new cover design,” said Pontus Lindbom, CEO, Trox AB. “The ability to have transparency within YuniquePLM will allow us to communicate consistently throughout the entire product development process ensuring quality to one of the most demanding industries.”

 

“YuniquePLM will enable a decrease in Trox’s product development time, all while controlling product quality,” Brewster said. “The software is highly configurable enabling Trox to control various inputs throughout the supply chain and communicate them across the organization.”
