Yunique Solutions Inc announces that privately-held S. Schwab Company has successfully implemented its plmOn product lifecycle and srmOn supplier relationship software solutions across it global design, product development, and sourcing operations. After utilizing three separate product data systems over the past decade, most recently including in-house developed software, the company chose Yunique and has just completed its first full live season of use.
Founded in the early 1900's, S. Schwab Company is the owner and marketer of the Little Me line of newborn and toddler clothing and today employs more than 400 people across its Cumberland, Maryland (USA) headquarters, New York design/development/sales, and Hong Kong sourcing offices. The company, which recently launched a consumer web store sources products primarily from Asia and sells them through department stores, specialty shops, and their own Little Me Stores in the United States.
“Unlike many companies that are implementing their first PLM system, we have been working with and improving on product data systems for some time,” said Doug Schwab, Senior Vice President and CIO. “Our previous systems just never quite gave us the user-friendliness and scope of functionality we needed to achieve full buy-in from our teams and vendors. Our criteria for the new system was probably more stringent that most buyers simply because we have so much experience in this area.”
Must-have's identified by Schwab and Applications Specialist / plmOn Administrator Carol Gilmore included a web-based solution that could easily be deployed around the world, an effective interface with factories that would enhance collaboration on costing and specs, a simple-to-integrate computing environment and, perhaps above all else, ease-of-use for everyone. “With Yunique, we found everything that we were looking for,” noted Gilmore.
