Multiple design teams, multiple ways of working — no standardization
The JOG Group employs several different design teams, each serving a different brand with its own identity, market segment and customer. The problem was that each team had also developed its own ways of working — its own processes, file structures and communication habits.
For a rapidly growing group, this fragmentation was a genuine operational problem. There was no standardization, no shared language between teams, and no consolidated view across the group’s product development activity.
- Each design team working in its own way — no standardized processes
- Poor communication between departments serving different brands
- No consolidated product data across the three brands
- Inconsistent tech pack formats causing supplier confusion
- Reporting required manual collation across siloed teams
- Scaling the group meant scaling the fragmentation
One system — customized to work for every brand
The JOG Group needed software that could serve three distinct brands under one roof — customizable enough to honor each brand’s identity and workflow, but standardized enough to give management a coherent view across the whole group.
After a long search, they chose Axind PLM+. In addition to customizations and integrations, Axind provided the JOG Group with extensive on-site and online training to ensure every team was up and running smoothly.
- Axind PLM+ deployed as a single system serving all three brands
- Custom configuration to match each brand team's workflow and requirements
- Integration with JOG Group's existing systems
- Extensive on-site and online training for all teams
- Standardized tech pack formats across the group
- Centralized product data and reporting for management
“Axind PLM+ has been used in our company for over 13 years. We currently have over 60 designers using the system daily and all the information about all our products is in it. The software is very easy to use, and the support is excellent — all issues are resolved very quickly.”
Before Axind
- Teams working independently with no shared process
- Inconsistent tech pack formats across brands
- Manual, siloed reporting per department
- No consolidated product data across the group
- Poor cross-team communication
- Onboarding new designers into fragmented workflows
After Axind
- All 60+ designers working in one unified PLM+ system
- Standardized tech packs conforming to JOG Group standards
- Centralized reporting across all three brands
- All product data in one searchable system
- Clear cross-team communication within the platform
- New team members onboarded into a consistent, documented process
Three brands. One system. 13 years and counting.
Today, every designer at the JOG Group — across three brands and multiple market segments — works within a single PLM solution. Tech packs are standardized. Product data is consolidated. And management has a coherent view across the whole group, regardless of which brand they’re looking at.
The relationship with Axind has lasted over 13 years — a reflection of how deeply the system has become part of how the JOG Group operates.
