Fila U.S.A., Inc., a subsidiary of Fila Korea Ltd., has selected YuniquePLM® from Gerber Technology’s Yunique Solutions business unit to manage its footwear development process. YuniquePLM will enable Fila to reap the benefits of a world-class PLM system while increasing collaboration and communication between the company’s affiliated sourcing centers in Asia, and its operations in Maryland and New York.
Sandy Hamilton, director of Information Technology at Fila, said, “Our decision came down to ease of implementation and user adoption. After evaluating several solutions, what made Yunique Solutions stand out was the high regard for their software in the industry and their commitment to the post-sales relationship.”
Fila USA has experienced significant growth in the past few years and realized that, to manage such growth, a robust PLM system was critical. “The athletic shoe market moves fast and it is absolutely crucial that we have an integrated solution that enables designers and developers to collaborate and communicate easily with their supply chain,” said Hamilton.
Bill Brewster, vice president of Global Sales and Marketing for Yunique Solutions said, “We are delighted to work with Fila USA, and the iconic Fila® brand. For a company like Fila USA, with products that are very time sensitive, it’s important that everyone is on the same page. By having all information in a single location, they can minimize errors and miscommunication – ultimately increasing speed to market. YuniquePLM’s successful user adoption is driven by our team of people who have decades of combined hands-on industry experience. We work constantly to address the real-world, everyday needs of fashion companies so that they can achieve greater success and profitability.”
