Duncan Grewcock, Chief Operating Officer Innovation is paramount for any enterprise. But pursuing an innovative idea to its utmost potential demands an environment that emphasizes collaboration. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions come in handy here. It is an integrated business solution that effectively tracks and manages a products life-cycle, right from idea generation through design and manufacturing, to movement of product,final delivery and sales. Given the increasingly competitive retail environment and need to develop products cost effectively and quickly, collaborative PLM software is in increasing demand. Leveraging this market opportunity, Adjuno is a global software company specialized in sourcing, PLM and supply chain solutions.

Duncan Grewcock, Chief Operating Officer (APAC), Adjuno says, “We are proud of our strength in the retail sector, and our PLM solution Liberty is one of the central pillars of our product offering.” Liberty helps Adjuno’s customers source, develop, purchase and ship products whilst reducing their overall lead times and costs.

Abiding by its name, which in Latin translates to ‘Unite’; Adjuno is the culmination of two complimentary software partners – ediTRACK and CS Solutions. In addition to increased global scale, the merger has allowed both entities to benefit from a shared product development roadmap, closer collaboration in marketing, sales and delivery, and increased resources. Adjuno’s PLM software also offers additional advantages like building libraries of products and data, cloud-based vendor portal and supporting ethical and CSR targets. The company’s enormous support has till date helped clients such as Myer, Sainsbury’s, Bunnings, Rebel Sports, Kathmandu, Marks & Spencer, New Look, ASOS and John Lewis among others. A testament of the company’s successful association with its clients is what John Amm, GM Global Sourcing, Myer, has to say about their experience of working with Adjuno. “We have found them to be an excellent business partner. Through the implementation of their supply chain and sourcing software they have more than proven themselves in giving us a product that functions the way we need. LIMA has been a fantastic supply chain visibility tool, calculating real accurate landed cost position throughout the order lifecycle. The LIBERTY software matches our product sourcing business needs perfectly. The PLM systems I’ve previously used often bring lots of issues through implementation, but Adjuno managed this and I am a highly satisfied user.”
