“Gerber Technology has a strong track record of PLM leadership around the world,” said Bill Brewster, Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise SW Solutions. “The addition of Jeff An to the team illustrates our commitment to growing our leadership in the Chinese market, which is critical to both local and global customers.”

Strong supply chain management

China's recent transformation from an export-dependent economy to one driven by internal growth has increased opportunity for both manufacturers and local brands. With this opportunity also comes the need for strong supply chain management, including connecting creative teams with their supply chain to get the right products to market, on time and at the right cost, the company reports.

YuniquePLM is web-based product lifecycle management software designed to help the fashion and apparel industries communicate effectively, accelerate workflows and eliminate errors.

YuniquePLM can help Chinese businesses of all sizes accelerate their time to market, reduce lead time and improve margins by managing the details of line plans, tech packs and samples, and simplifying communication and collaboration with global partners, the manufacturer reports.
