Gerber to display YuniquePLM software at NRF

Retailers today face more intense social and regulatory scrutiny than ever before. Identifying a methodology to ensure compliance throughout the product development lifecycle can increase a retailer's speed to market and avoid difficult situations. YuniquePLM offers tools to clearly document and manage regulatory requirements and track accountability across the organization in real time to enable all involved parties to make informed decisions.

Business Intelligence Dashboards Extended to Suppliers

YuniquePLM now enables managers to analyze product margins by country. However, the system not only delivers critical business intelligence to middle managers and executives within an organization, new functionality extends this power to suppliers. Now, suppliers have access to dashboards that graphically summarize changes made to tech packs and are able to locate them quickly and easily to streamline product development.

Donny Askin, senior vice president and general manager of Gerber’s Yunique Solutions business, explains, “Retailers, brand owners and manufacturers who have chosen YuniquePLM have done so because they see how easy it is to use and appreciate how it can streamline their day-to-day processes. More importantly, they understand that, with their investment, they get a team of experts with deep industry and process experience who have grown up in the fashion industry and bring with them the knowledge of what makes companies like theirs successful.”

YuniquePLM also integrates with Gerber’s AccuMark pattern design, grading and marker making system. With AccuMark and YuniquePLM working in tandem, users can import data on material yields and points of measure from the AccuMark system and use them to generate costing and product tech packs in YuniquePLM. This information exchange eliminates redundant work and minimizes errors that often occur between the creative and development teams.
