A selection of innovations and enhancements in the latest release of YuniquePLM include:

Development Calendar 

  • This new powerful, yet intuitive calendaring tool provides complete product development visibility across the enterprise, ultimately reducing redundancies, saving time and ensuring accountability. 
  • Users are able to define beginning and end times, owners and dependences, and even manage external events and activities and critical paths. 
  • Accompanied by a graphical calendar of milestones and tasks, users can easily drag-and-drop to rearrange timing or dependencies.

Line Planning 

  • YuniquePLM’s line planning capabilities allow users to plan everything, from business financials to product development. 
  • Capture planned units and initial style data to forecast budgets and financials by adding SKU plans and pricing information early on in the process. 
  • Designers may enter planned colors and materials and track them against the styles in the Line List, as the projects move from development to approved commitments.
  • Create storyboards by creating or linking image catalogs to the plan. Determine the materials that should be used and gain visibility to what is actually being used. 
  • Remain up to date with notifications about changes that are being made in line plans that may impact styles in the line list.

3D File Support 

  • As 3D printing and advanced CAD development take hold, YuniquePLM V6 is available for storage needs. The system allows users to view, store and analyze 3D files in one location, either internally or through a partner via a vendor portal.

Mass Sample Request Development 

  • YuniquePLM V6 allows users to create styles, materials, samples, RFQs and edits en masse, to speed the process and reduce data entry time. 
  • A new image caching function has been implemented system-side, dramatically improving page loading and performance.
