“With YuniquePLM V6, we are able to have an individual perspective on products from the ‘get go,’ allowing designers and buyers to monitor and focus on the progress of various products without the use of multiple systems, data files and complexity,” said Moods of Norway Head of Product Thomas Frodal.

Kristin Karlsen, head product developer at Moods of Norway, added, “As first time PLM users we have been supported by a team of dedicated industry experts from Gerber and Amatec, Gerber’s distributor in Norway, during the implementation. We look forward to increased efficiency and productivity from the improved collaboration and greater access to data in a single location.”

“We are very pleased to have Moods of Norway, an iconic Scandinavian brand, as one of our customers,” said Bill Brewster, vice president and general manager, Enterprise SW Solutions. “We are certain that the company will increase their speed to market and, ultimately, their profitability with YuniquePLM. In addition, we are excited to collaborate with Amatec, a long-time distributor of Gerber Technology’s YuniquePLM, CAD, plotting, spreading and cutting solutions. The implementation of YuniquePLM has been a tremendous collaborative effort.”
