Product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions developer Yunique Solutions Inc announces that Newport News Holding Company has implemented its plmOn solution.
Installed primarily at the apparel cataloger's Manhattan headquarters, Yunique's 100% browser-based solution is helping Newport News to improve communication and collaboration across the company's global supply chain and significantly reduce new product development cycle times.
Newport News and Spiegel are among the most popular catalog and e-commerce retailers of women's apparel in the United States. For 30 years, Newport News has focused on delivering a wide-range of the latest women's apparel, footwear, and accessories at easily affordable prices.
“After using our homegrown Probe computer system since 1996, we recognized the need to migrate to a better technology platform that would allow us to link together our design, merchandising, sourcing, and supplier teams across the world”, stated Jojo Sanez, Senior Manager of Production and Planning at Newport News / Spiegel.
“In addition to system performance issues, our homegrown system would not allow us to fully integrate our designers in new product collaboration. We wanted a tool that would give us the image management capabilities needed to view, share, and visually collaborate across our entire process.”
Leveraging the rich industry experience of the Yunique team, plmOn is an innovative fashionspecific solution that delivers the full range of functionality needed by today's fast-paced apparel, home textiles, and accessories retailers and manufacturers to speed more on-trend merchandise to market.
