Company
San Francisco, CA – March 12, 2009 SKUforce, a Collaborative
Cloud Platform, has received the Progressive
Manufacturing 100 Award. The Progressive
Manufacturing 100 awards are presented annually by Managing Automation to recognize
best-in-class manufacturers from around the world who are using advanced technologies
to achieve business transformations. This year’s recognition is for SKUforce’s
highly successful Lowepro PLM project.
“The goal of the project with Lowepro was to fill the gaps between their existing
data management systems and data silos in order to collaborate effectively with
stakeholders within and outside the company and to increase efficiency, accuracy
and on-time deliveries of new products,” said Anand Ayyar, Sr. Partner, SKUforce.
“Lowepro leveraged our Collaborative Cloud Platform to speed their product’s
time to market while reducing overhead and maximizing channel reach.”
Said David R. Brousell, editor in chief, Managing Automation Media, "The
projects that enabled these companies to become PM100 winners reflect great
creativity and inventiveness, a determined willingness to take risk, and an enduring
resilience to continually improve every aspect of their business. These companies
are leading the way to a better future."
The PM100 recognizes 100 projects that have achieved distinction in at least
one of the eight core disciplines defined by Managing Automation Media as critical
to business success in the years ahead. In addition to Mohawk, some of this year’s
recipients include IBM, Dow Chemical, General Motors, Toyota, Chrysler, Johnson & Johnson,
Siemens and Xerox. Awards will be presented in May at the Progressive
Manufacturing Summit.
