UK-based action sports brand Animal invests with Geac to support its growing retail operations.
Leading software solution service provider Geac announced it has won a US$1.6 million contract from Animal, one of the UK's fastest growing action sports brands, for an integrated, design-to-retail software solution.
The system -- which incorporates a range of integrated Geac products to cover Animal's entire business process, from design to cash collection at point-of-sale - was one of three contracts in excess of $1 million Geac closed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005.
“Geac has made a concerted effort to integrate our various product lines, be they the result of internal product development, strategic partnerships or acquisitions.
This sale demonstrates the compelling synergies that exist across Geac product families, and illustrates the value we can deliver to customers who seek an integrated solution,” Charles S. Jones, Geac's President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “Currently, more than 400 of the world's leading apparel companies use Geac software to manage their operations. Animal joins our already impressive list of global apparel customers, including other well-known brands such as Rip Curl, Tommy Hilfiger, Barbour and VF Europe.”
Animal's solution will support its growing retail business and more effectively manage its increasingly complex supply chain. It includes Geac System21 Aurora enterprise resource planning (ERP) software; Quest PLM (product lifecycle management) software for collaborative design and development; SellIT Customer Relationship Management (CRM); and Performance Analyser for operational performance management.
