Swedish ladies fashion and lingerie retailer, Twilfit AB has invested in a complete range of collaborative product development tools from Geac.

The software from RunTime, Geac's specialist division serving the apparel and footwear industry, is expected to go live in early 2006.

The integrated solution incorporates StyleTime, ColorTime, KnitTime, QuestPDM and Quest Merchandiser, and will be used by designers, product managers and visual merchandisers in the Stockholm head office.

Twilfit began in 1922 and now has 48 retail outlets.

It recently decided it needed to replace a manual design system which relied heavily on transferring information between standalone systems such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel and PowerPoint.

Instead it wanted an integrated system to connect all design and production departments to make it easy for product managers to find information at all times; to shorten lead-times as well as being able to hand out guidelines and sales books to their shops to get more control of the presentation of new products.

Anders Arnborger, CEO for Twilfit said: "They investigated other solutions, but due to the many capabilities within the Geac solution; the positive experiences they have seen from other Geac customers in Sweden and the security that lies in the fact that Geac solutions are used by so many customers in their industry made Geac the ideal choice for them.

"This 'turn key' product lifecycle management (PLM) solution will help them to constantly develop new products.
