Vroom & Dreesmann's Apparel Division Uses Geac RunTime to Standardise Design Processes

Amsterdam, November 30 (ots/PRNewswire)

Vroom & Dreesmann
Warenhuizen BV (V&D), a subsidiary of Vendex KBB, has selected
Geac(R) (TSX: GAC, NASDAQ: GEAC) to streamline its apparel division's
processes. The software from RunTime, Geac's specialist division
serving the apparel and footwear industry; is expected to enable V&D
to standardise design processes and to develop collections much
faster. Other subsidiaries of Vendex KBB, including M&S Mode, Claudia
Strater, Hunkemoller and HEMA, are already established users of Geac
RunTime software.
One of the modules V&D uses is ColorTime. As part of DesignTime,
this module offers the apparel division full control over the use of
colour in new collections and records the exact prints and colours.
The apparel division also uses the WeaveTime module for efficient
design of woven fabric. This innovative, user-friendly program
includes all available weaving methods, enabling designers to create
and design their own patterns.
V&D also works with DesignTime's standard templates, ensuring that
all designers use the same lay-outs. This makes it possible to
communicate the designs to production departments much faster, as the
output comes out the same and is totally clear. The output's lay-out
can be adjusted as desired.
V&D makes intensive use of StyleTime, the library functionality
within Geac RunTime. StyleTime enables designers to save complete
drawings, materials, designs, prints and other design properties in a
transparent way. Designs can be converted into PDF format and easily
be sent by e-mail, for example to other production facilities in the
Far East. Moreover, buyers can purchase materials based on these
documents.
"Geac RunTime is the standard for streamlining design processes",
says Tinka Doorgeest, styling coordinator at V&D. "The solution
offers a comprehensive set of tools to develop clothing collections
faster and more efficiently. Geac RunTime supports the entire
process: from the first sketches and storyboards to the final,
detailed technical designs. It is RunTime's user-friendliness that
has made several retail chains decide to start using RunTime for
their design processes. V&D's apparel division is one of them, and
eighteen designers in this division now use Geac RunTime."
