YuniquePLM™ Accelerates Lafodex’s Product Development Process

French apparel manufacturer Lafodex SA® has implemented YuniquePLM™ to accelerate their workflow and reduce errors. Lafodex chose to standardize the design and manufacturing processes throughout their operations by incorporating YuniquePLM along with a fully integrated ERP system.

YuniquePLM, designed specifically for the fashion and retail industries, features robust functionality in a web-based platform that seamlessly integrates with various ERP systems. Teams around the world can communicate more effectively, accelerate their workflows and reduce errors.

Lafodex manufactures high-quality professional and protective wear for working environments. Prior to implementation of YuniquePLM, the company used spreadsheets and other written documents to manage their product line. Because much of the information was disparate, effective collaboration was difficult to achieve, with data often entered more than once. Lafodex chose the Yunique system to improve collaboration and meet its growing technical and design objectives. Lafodex implemented the YuniquePLM solution concurrently with its new ERP system.

"Using YuniquePLM for pre-production and quality control purposes were key points to improve our processes," said Lafodex President Regis Delobre. "Yunique is providing the structure and visibility necessary to meet and exceed standardized and quality normalization guidelines (ISO) for the industry."

The company has realized many benefits since the implementation, including "ease of use, robust features and having a global support team in partnership with experts in the apparel industry," said Delobre. "Having transitioned from manual databases, our team now has a central platform with Adobe® product and CAD integration, costing management and multi-dimensional bill of material capabilities."

Bill Brewster, vice president and general manager of Yunique Solutions, said, "With YuniquePLM, Lafodex is now able to make informed choices to ensure the utmost quality and streamline its processes, ultimately saving time and cost. Our out-of-the-box solution enabled a faster implementation time for Lafodex, while still offering full integration with their ERP of choice and CAD system."
