With Aptos PLM, the German luxury retailer streamlines and speeds up new product introduction
ATLANTA — June 26, 2019 — Aptos, Inc., a recognized market leader in retail technology solutions, is proud to announce its first PLM go-live in South Korea. MCM Worldwide, the global luxury travel and accessories brand, has successfully implemented Aptos PLM in its design function across all markets.
Aptos PLM is providing MCM with a streamlined view of its collection life cycle and is generating benefits including increased automation and coordination, enhanced design and development processes with greater efficiency, as well as improved buying.
MCM partnered with Aptos to drive operational efficiencies across the business to reduce product and material proliferation, enabling the brand to optimize the buying process of components and materials.
Following its successful implementation of Aptos PLM, MCM is also deploying Aptos Merchandise Financial Planning (MFP), which is now in the delivery phase. With the upcoming go-live of MFP, the company will benefit from more accurate collection targets while leveraging an integrated end-to-end interface for all users across PLM and Planning.
“MCM is ‘New School Luxury,’ and we are proud to work with such a global leader and their talented team,” said Noel Goggin, Aptos CEO and culture leader. “As Aptos continues to build its momentum throughout APAC, this successful project further confirms the value of our PLM solution for Tier 1 retailers, as well as our ability to drive process innovation and deliver on a truly global scale.”
