Esprit Fuels Growth Plans With Geac

Ratingen, Germany and Studley, England (ots/PRNewswire)

- Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) System to Embrace Hundreds of
Product Developers Across Europe and Asia
International lifestyle group Esprit has fuelled its growth plans
and capability for future development with a Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) solution from Geac(R) (TSX: GAC, NASDAQ: GEAC). The
QuestPLM software is supplied by RunTime, Geac's specialist division
serving the apparel and footwear industry. This latest investment
cements a long standing relationship with the lifestyle group, and
will involve QuestPLM being accessible to hundreds of users across
Europe, Asia and USA in order to promote greater design
collaboration.
Headquartered in Ratingen, Germany, Esprit designs, sources and
sells lifestyle products designed under the globally recognised
Esprit brand. Active throughout more than 40 countries Esprit
operates 631 directly managed retail stores, 766 partnership stores
and over 8,900 wholesale outlets.
QuestPLM is crucial in enabling Esprit to manage the complicated
and sophisticated processes around this global operation. The Hong
Kong 'sourcing office' continuously updates supplier relationships to
find fabrics, base garments and follow up on the production process
which all results in its products being shipped across the world.
QuestPLM will be critical to the efficiency of this key operation.
Dr. Dirk Seifert, Chief Operating Officer for Esprit, outlined
what the investment will mean for the group: "Our international scope
means we are continually looking to move into new markets, which in
turns creates a need for agility and supply chains that can get our
brand into new territories quickly and without complication."
Tom Van Soest, International Sales Manager for Geac's RunTime
business, said: "Esprit and Geac have enjoyed a long standing
relationship that has evolved into a true partnership. The QuestPLM
solution supports a great deal of Esprit's operations and their move
to open licensing is indicative of their large commitment to the
system. This will mean that Esprit's designers all over the world
will be able to benefit from using our collaborative design system."
Dr. Dirk Seifert concluded: "This upgrade and expansion of our
systems stands us in very good stead for future development. Like any
retailer we know we cannot stand still and optimising our supply
chain, product management and distribution strategy are key to our
growth."
