Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) Selects Visual 2000 PLM

Visual 200 International Inc. (http://www.visual-2000.com) announces that Canadian outdoor retailer Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) has selected its Product Lifecycle Management solution. MEC is planning to use a phased-in approach to implement the Visual PLM.net solution to manage all aspects of the brand manufacturing process for MEC brand apparel and hard goods products.

MEC maintains a hands-on approach to design and manufactures products that are functional, durable and of a high quality. In order to facilitate this strategy for the longer term, it was critical that MEC deploy an integrated solution to replace the multiple-siloed approach to data management and reporting. MEC selected Visual 2000 as their PLM partner because they feel that Visual is best able to support current and future business requirements from a functional and technical perspective.

MEC's Project Leader, Sharon Umbach commented, "We are excited to work with Visual 2000 and are looking forward to the benefits of a modern PLM system that has the ability to significantly improve the integrity, visibility and accessibility of our data throughout the organization. We are pleased to be taking a giant leap forward with a system that allows for greater collaboration between our teams and our factory partners".

Visual 2000 International's Vice President of Research and Development, Charles Benoualid expressed "we are pleased to align ourselves with a company that prides itself in its consumer oriented culture. We are continuously developing our PLM systems in order to match our customers' needs and we are confident that our platform, including newly developed mobile and "quick" functionalities will allow MEC to streamline their processes, and in turn, further their brand."
