Yunique Solutions Inc, a leading developer of product lifecycle management (PLM) and digital asset management (DAM) solutions for the fashion and related industries, announces that Cutter & Buck has implemented its plmON software solution in their Seattle, WA headquarters.
The golf-inspired sportswear and outerwear brand successfully trained and custom-configured the system in its design and product development teams over a short four month period.
“The key driver for moving to Yunique's plmOn was the need to reduce product development cycle times”, stated Jody Crow, Director of PDM Implementation and former Director of Product Development. “We also wanted to eliminate duplication of effort and improve visibility and accessibility of product information across our company and with our suppliers. We can already see that plmOn is going to help us not only achieve these goals, but allow us to sustain higher levels of collaboration and consistency.”
Case in point, Cutter & Buck is currently preparing to send its new electronic tech packs to vendors in Thailand, China, Korea, India, and Peru. “We expect our sample approval rates to go way up as a result of having more accurate tech packs”, noted Crow. “We also anticipate a substantial reduction in tech pack creation time and an equally significant reduction in courier costs directly related to tech pack communication.
We used to spend days creating and checking Excel spreadsheets, printing and compiling them with the Illustrator images, and preparing shipments for the factories. Now it is all done in one system and communicated online.
