Making a mark on British fashion

摘要

French Connection has implemented Gerber’s YuniquePLM technology and by adding the software to its product development process the British-based fashion retailer ‒ which already utilises Gerber’s AccuMark family of design room solutions ‒ will be able to further transform its processes and help reduce time-to-market on its clothing lines, it is claimed. The trend around digital transformation in fashion has been at the forefront of the industry for a few years and companies who are transforming are seeing results through data visibility, experts state. “Our team needed a cloud-based solution to simplify IT processes and YuniquePLM will enable data integration with our current infrastructure,” says Stuart Hart, head of IT, French Connection. YuniquePLM was the first PLM system for the apparel industry to be in the cloud and available as Software-as-a-service (SaaS). 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.
