Case Study: MEGA Brands achieves new product profitability and faster time-to-market with Aras Corporation

Achieves New Product Development & Introduction Success

MEGA Brands, a Montreal-based leader in educational construction toys with hundreds of millions in annual revenue, faced intense global competition and rapid product cycles. With dozens of new launches each season, the company needed better global coordination and visibility across New Product Development & Introduction (NPDI) to hit strict cost, price-point and quality targets.

To address this, MEGA Brands implemented the Aras Innovator PLM solution to automate NPDI and quality processes, create and compare multiple Bills of Material, and lock the optimal configuration for manufacturing while securely sharing specifications with suppliers. The result was stronger design-to-cost decision making, improved product quality, faster time-to-market, higher new product profitability, and substantial savings on license and infrastructure costs.
