Leading Children's Apparel Maker AME Implements Yunique plmOn

New York, NY - Yunique Solutions Inc., developer of the fashion industry's top-ranked product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, announces that privately-held American Marketing Enterprises, Inc. (AME) has successfully implemented its plmOn product lifecycle solution across its design, technical design, product development, licensing, sales, and production teams in its Manhattan headquarters. As a replacement to the company's five year old product development system, the 40-user plmOn solution has been successfully implemented in just 75 business days, besting the ‘install to go-live' project plan by 3 full weeks and significantly under budget.

Fourteen year-old American Marketing Enterprises is a leading children's sleepwear manufacturer. As a major character licensed sleepwear company in the United States, it holds rights to produce and market sleepwear and loungewear, blanket sleepers, robes and other products for a number of brand owners including Marvel Enterprises Inc. and their premiere Marvel character franchises, The Walt Disney Company, Nickelodeon, and numerous others which it sells to giant retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target & Kohl's.

"Yunique gave us the independent computing platform that we needed to include both Mac and PC users in our PLM initiative", stated Mark Cuocolo, Director of Product Development. "Because our original PC-based system could not be used by our Mac-based designers, we were experiencing severe operational limitations. plmOn allows us to not only establish a central repository of our designs, but to gain greater visibility and improve tracking and reporting of our overall product lifecycle. This extends the benefits of PLM to the business and to everyone working on our products."

According to Cuocolo, "We have already cut our pre-costing time in half and expect to gain even more strategic benefits from plmOn over the coming months and years. It is helping us to decrease our development time, streamline business processes, reduce overhead costs, and make other improvements in our operations. Moreover, we see the plmOn technology as an enabler increasing our sales by getting the right products to our customers faster than ever before."
