Lawson Software last week announced that Koramsa, Guatemala's largest apparel manufacturer, has signed a contract to implement Lawson QuickStep Fashion, an enterprise software package designed specifically for the fashion industry. QuickStep Fashion is one of the latest offerings from Lawson, with much of the functionality pre-configured based on fashion industry best practices and requirements. Under the contract, Koramsa will also implement Lawson Business Intelligence, Lawson Learning Accelerator and Lawson M3 applications including Enterprise Mobility, Supply Chain Planner and Multi-Site Planner. The company will use the recently introduced Lawson M3 7.1 Technology as the platform for its Lawson enterprise applications. The contract with Koramsa was signed in Lawson's third quarter of fiscal 2007, which ended Feb. 28, 2007.

Koramsa, located in Guatemala City, Guatemala, has become a leader in apparel manufacturing in Central America since it formed approximately 15 years ago. Koramsa is a full service apparel solutions provider for major brands and retailers in the United States. The company has strategically adopted business processes that improve its ability to manage operations and bring greater discipline to supply chain planning and execution. Koramsa turned to Lawson for a business system that would support its current and future strategic plans for growth in its U.S. and global markets.
