"By integrating YuniquePLM and our supply chain management and ERP software, information will be located in one central spot." Arnaud Dubly, CEO, Jacqueline Riu
New York (PRWEB) June 08, 2015
French apparel brand Jacqueline Riu has selected Gerber Technology’s YuniquePLM™ to manage its expansion into additional markets. Jacqueline Riu offers a range of upmarket apparel and accessories for women, and operates over 200 retail outlets in French metropolitan areas as well as Saudi Arabia and Belgium.
To accommodate its expanding product lines and growing demand, Jacqueline Riu turned to YuniquePLM to consolidate its creative processes and streamline its supply chain. Previously, information had been stored in various locations and in a variety of different formats, effectively limiting collaboration and speed to market.
YuniquePLM is web-based product lifecycle management software that enables the fashion and apparel industries to communicate effectively, accelerate workflows and eliminate errors. The latest enhancements include a development calendar and new line planning function, as well as 3D file support and mass sample requests development.
“We look forward to working with Gerber Technology and gaining supply chain efficiency with YuniquePLM as we continue to reach more customers and offer a greater selection of products,” said Arnaud Dubly, Jacqueline Riu CEO. “By integrating YuniquePLM and our supply chain management and ERP software, information will be located in one central spot, ultimately working to make our design and production teams more efficient.”
Bill Brewster, general manager of Yunique Solutions, said, “Our global team of industry professionals is able to serve customers from around the world. Our partnership with Jacqueline Riu continues our commitment to our growing user-base in France. We look forward to working alongside Jacqueline Riu. The integration of YuniquePLM with Adobe® Illustrator®, along with the software’s development calendar, will help drive new levels of creativity and efficiency.”
