Gerber has released its software suite as subscription to provide better options to its customers to purchase and adopt their tools. Gerber is a leader in productivity tools such as AccuMark and the subscription-based YuniquePLM. Gerber, based in the US, delivers industry-leading software and automation solutions that help apparel and industrial customers.
Through their new subscription-based bundles, Gerber will enable companies of all sizes, and across various markets, to keep up with the ever changing trends by providing affordable access to the latest versions of AccuMark, the industry-leading pattern design, grading, marker making, production planning and 3D simulation software. Gerber’s PLM offering has been available on a subscription basis for the last three years, and has been hugely successful. The addition of AccuMark subscriptions underscores Gerber’s leadership in business model innovation in its industries, the company said in a media statement.
Gerber’s subscription model provides the flexibility and speed that companies need to flourish in today’s on-demand world. The new business model will allow customers to pay for the AccuMark software suite through a subscription; make the software more affordable, lowering the cost of entry for newcomers; pair Gerber’s best-in-class software solutions together through bundling options, enabling users to more easily connect their workflows; offer more flexibility through keyless licensing; and provide easy access to extensive online and phone support, as well as Gerber’s online community of users and experts.
Gerber’s subscription offering will begin with AccuMark 2D and two bundling options, the TechDesign bundle and the TechDesign Premium bundle. The bundles will feature AccuMark 2D and AccuMark 3D as well as YuniquePLM or the brand new Yunique Sample Manager, depending on your selection. The TechDesign bundle allows users to accelerate their product development process by reducing physical samples and facilitating collaboration. In the future, more bundles will be released.
“We are continuously looking for ways to help our customers win and that means providing them with the most innovative technology and new ways of engaging with us. Our subscription-based model is not only going to address the needs of our current customers, it will also empower the next generation of great innovators and disruptors to enter the market,” Gerber’s chief strategy and digital officer Karsten Newbury said.
