Evy of California Selects NGC's SQL Series Software for Complete Apparel Business Solution, from Design to Shipping
Evy to Manage All of its Apparel Divisions Using NGC's Software Suite for Product Lifecycle Management, Global Sourcing and Apparel ERP
MIAMI Â Nov. 13, 2006 Â New Generation Computing (NGC) today announced that Evy of California, a leading girls apparel brand, has chosen NGC's SQL Series software suite to manage all facets of Evy's business, from apparel design to sourcing and order fulfillment. NGC, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Software Inc. (NASDAQ: AMSWA), is the market leader in product lifecycle management, global sourcing and enterprise resource planning (ERP) software for the apparel and sewn products industries.
Evy has grown rapidly in recent years through the addition of new divisions and the expansion of its retail customer base, all while transforming from a domestic manufacturer to a global importer. Evy's homegrown software could no longer keep up with the demands of a complex, fast-paced business Âand NGC® software provided a flexible, integrated and cost-effective solution.
After an intensive review of the apparel industry's leading software providers, Evy selected the SQL Series software suite, including e-PDM software for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), e-SPS® software for Global Sourcing, and RedHorse® software for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). Together these products offer the only modular, integrated end-to-end suite of solutions for the apparel and sewn goods industries. The SQL Series software will be implemented across all of Evy's divisions: Jalate Jeanswear, Fleurish Clothing Company, Brooke Lindsay Collection, Tween Star and Evy of California.
"NGC's proven ability to handle all the details of our complex import and
807 production mix was a key factor in our decision, along with their advanced EDI capabilities that are continually updated," said Kurt Kreiser, chief executive officer, Evy of California. "NGC's people make a real difference, too. They went the extra mile to ensure us that NGC's software could handle all of Evy¹s requirements for each of our divisions."
"NGC's integrated software suite will drive new operating efficiencies throughout Evy of California, and we welcome them to our rapidly growing base of customers around the world," said Alan Brooks, president, NGC.
