TOLLAND, Conn., March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Speed and personalization have become the new normal in the fashion industry as consumer trends and expectations shift quickly. Brands, retailers and manufacturers are racing to keep pace as they strive to win the hearts, minds and loyalty of their consumers in an increasingly competitive marketplace. "To create personalized experiences and stay on trend, brands need to improve data analytics and integration across their supply chain," said Clayton Parker, Director of PLM Product Management, Gerber Technology. "With our new YuniquePLM^® Version 8, we've introduced a new UI, built features based on our customers' needs, and added integrations to enable our customers to analyze trends and seamlessly pass data across their workflow."
