Yunique Solutions To Deliver eWarna Color Functions Inside PLM
Breakthrough Integration to Eliminate Need for Separate Color Approval Application
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and New York, NY — eWarna, the global leader in online color management solutions (CMS), and Yunique Solutions, a developer of product lifecycle management (PLM) and digital asset management (DAM) solutions for the fashion and related industries, announce an integration and distribution agreement that paves the way for Yunique to market and deliver advanced online color collaboration tools powered by eWarna's patented Online Color Exchange (OCX)™ as an integrated component of its popular plmOn™ solution.
eWarna's on demand web services will allow Yunique plmOn customers to seamlessly store, retrieve, compare and share precise digital color information in the eWarna OCX. Using plmOn's proven collaboration and workflow tools, users can then communicate digitized color standards, receive/submit color submissions (lab or bulk dips) through industry standard file formats, set approval tolerances and keep detailed records of all color approvals. These color-specific capabilities are critical to driving time and cost out of the product lifecycle of apparel and other fashion-related products.
By adding color management and collaboration, Yunique will extend plmOn's already extensive suite of industry-specific digital asset (image) management, tech pack management, quotation and bid management, sample and production planning and tracking, pre-concept line management, and materials management capabilities.
"We recognize color collaboration as a critical component of product lifecycle management in the fashion industries", stated Daniel Pak, CIO of Yunique Solutions. "eWarna's leading edge technology allows us to deliver advanced color solutions to our clients seamlessly inside our plmOn solution." ManHon Shiew, CEO of eWarna added, "We are pleased to play a role in Yunique's fast-paced growth in the PLM marketplace. This alliance allows us to expand the use of our color tools to companies using or planning plmOn implementations without the requirement for a separate color management application."
The companies have begun integration work and expect to begin delivery of the integrated color capabilities in the second quarter of 2006. Yunique plans to offer the eWarna-powered color tools to existing and prospective plmOn customers as an optional module. plmOn users will gain access to the color functions through the standard plmOn interface without exiting or logging-on to an additional color application.
