Helly Hansen Boosts Product Innovation with the Power Of 3D

CAMPBELL, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Helly Hansen.

During the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the renowned Norwegian outdoor performance brand was able to save weeks’ worth of time during its product development process with the ability to quickly create and review 3D samples created within Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded in Norway in 1877, Helly Hansen is a leader in technical sailing and performance ski apparel, as well as premium workwear, with its outerwear, base layers, sportswear and footwear sold in more than 40 countries. The company has developed numerous first-to-market innovations, including the first supple waterproof fabrics more than 140 years ago, and today its ski uniforms are worn and trusted by more than 55,000 professionals around the world, including Olympians, National Teams and more than 200 ski resorts and mountain guiding operations.

As well as struggling with data management, visibility and version control across multiple software platforms, when the Helly Hansen group acquired MUSTO in 2018, integrating a new brand brought additional challenges.

«Before Centric PLM™, one of our biggest challenges was a lack of accountability, with each department using different tools and platforms. We’re growing fast and, in order to develop innovative, high-quality products efficiently, we needed a clear overview of who was doing what, where and when,» says Ferdinand Diener, Process and Quality Manager at Helly Hansen.

Helly Hansen implemented Centric PLM in just six months while also merging with MUSTO. One of the biggest initial benefits for Helly Hansen was the ability to get both brands onto one platform very quickly.

«Because Centric PLM is so fast and easy to use, people are able to do a more thorough job, create more products and improve quality oversight,» says Diener. «We’re a quality-driven, innovation-focused brand, so this is critical.»

What’s more, at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic with social distancing imposed and travel halted, it was difficult to review physical samples, with sample production severely delayed, or even cancelled altogether.

However, with innovative digital solutions provided by Centric PLM and 3D Connect technology giving expanded 3D functionality to PLM users, Helly Hansen has been able to adapt to recent market disruptions, improving the efficiency of its communications across different departments, particularly around sample production. There was the added benefit of becoming more sustainable in the process and reducing their carbon footprint due to a decreased need for physical samples, reduced shipping, material waste, etc.

«Centric’s 3D Connector now helps us with communication, and we can do things last minute that we couldn’t have done previously. For example, if a physical sample isn’t available, or we don’t want to wait weeks for a prototype to arrive, we can create a 3D version in a matter of hours,» says designer Mhairi Bannerman, who works within the ski and sailing team on Helly Hansen’s technical garments.

How did Helly Hansen embark on its Centric PLM adventure?

Global Green Hydrogen Production Set to Reach 5.7 Million Tons by 2030, Powered by Decarbonization

Push to decarbonize industries and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 will create lucrative opportunities in the green hydrogen market, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Advances in Green Hydrogen Create Opportunity across the Global Power Sector, forecasts that global green hydrogen production will skyrocket at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57% between 2019 and 2030, rising from 40,000 tons to 5.7 million tons. Increasing concerns about carbon emissions and the need to decarbonize the industrial, commercial, transport, and power sectors have forced countries to reduce their dependency on fossil fuel-based systems and increase investments across alternate low-carbon technologies, including green hydrogen.

For further information on this analysis, please visit: http://frost.ly/53l

«The total decarbonization of certain sectors like transportation and power cannot be achieved solely by electrification. This challenge can be addressed by green hydrogen produced through electrolysis from RES (renewable energy sources), wind and solar, in particular,» said Swagath Navin Manohar, Industry Analyst. «Green hydrogen produced through electrolysis can then be used downstream as a chemical feedstock material in carbon-intensive sectors that are difficult to decarbonize through electrification alone. Currently, green hydrogen accounts for less than 1% of the total hydrogen produced. The global demand for green hydrogen and its emerging applications is expected to increase exponentially in the next 20 years, creating the need for considerable infrastructure to handle production and delivery.»

Manohar added: «In the last five years, interest has grown in using green hydrogen as a low- or zero-carbon energy carrier. Many governments, including UK, Germany, Japan, and Singapore, have started acknowledging the fact that a green hydrogen-based economy could be the answer to growing concerns over carbon emissions, energy security, and climate change. Technological institutions in various countries (Germany, UK, US, and Australia) have already invested in pilot and demonstration projects related to the production, storage, distribution, and utilization of green hydrogen across different business verticals. For a green hydrogen economy to become a reality, technological and economical breakthroughs are needed to bring down the costs associated with production, while a decisive regulatory framework is required to promote investments and support research and development (R&D) in the sector.»

For further revenue opportunities, market participants should explore these strategic recommendations:

Countries need to step up their green hydrogen strategies and invest in pilot and demonstration projects for Power-to-X (PtX) technologies. Additionally, strong collaborations and partnerships are needed to scale up the technology.
European countries and the US should add green hydrogen to natural gas mixtures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increase the integration of RES into the energy mix, increase the efficiency of the system, and help decarbonize the electricity, heat, industry, and transport sectors.
Fuel cell companies should develop small, modular fuel cell power systems that can be customized to meet the needs of rural/remote communities or critical infrastructure facilities.
Combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell manufacturing companies should address concerns over their cost, reliability, and decreased efficiency to outperform their main competitors—lithium-ion energy storage system providers—and achieve competitive advantage.

Advances in Green Hydrogen Create Opportunity across the Global Power Sector is part of Frost & Sullivan’s Global Energy and Environment Growth Partnership Service program.

DUBLIN, Calif., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Veza 360 Inc. announced the availability of its CPQ mobile app that empowers sales teams to easily configure, price and quote (CPQ) products to customers while on the go. The app simplifies the CPQ process dramatically and ensures customer orders are configured correctly, priced accurately, and quoted quickly.

Configure and create quotes in minutes while on the go!

Create accurate quotes 10 times faster
«Today the majority of quotes are created by inside sales teams who have to sift through a multitude of product catalogs, spreadsheets, portals, and often several communications with equipment manufacturers in order to determine product information and availability,» says Praveen Sharma, co-founder and president of Veza 360 Inc. «This complex process can lead to project delays — or even worse — lost business. With the CPQ app, field sales teams can easily generate quotes for customers in minutes using built-in configurators.»

How it works
CPQ runs on the Veza 360 platform, which supports a suite of applications designed to streamline information sharing between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and channel partners. Complete product information including detailed descriptions, part number configurators, SKUs, pricing, lifecycle status, marketing collateral, and training materials are stored in the Veza 360 cloud, which then automatically publishes localized information to authorized channel partners. Field personnel can access the information and use it to configure products and create quotations in minutes on any mobile device.

CPQ surfaces different pricing guides based on industry, active promotions, and discount structures. The app also uses AI technology to recommend products for upsell and cross-sell opportunities and includes options for special pricing approvals. Sales reps can attach relevant documentation, such as product datasheets and marketing collateral, to the created proposals.

Bringing consumer experience to industrial clients
The app is designed to provide consumer experience to industrial clients, while also providing rich features that drive productivity and increase revenue opportunities. «Creating quotes in the Veza CPQ app is as easy as shopping on any consumer e-commerce website,» says Hong T Sun, president of mPower Electronics, a company that employs the CPQ app. «This single source of truth for channel partners increases efficiency, shortens sales cycles, and enhances overall experience for our mutual customers.»

The app is currently available in English language for both iOS and Android devices. Future versions are planned to support additional languages.

Monster Energy’s Andy Buckworth Takes First Place in Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge Dirt Contest in Houston, Texas

HOUSTON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Way to start the 2021 BMX season! Monster Energy congratulates team rider Andy Buckworth on his victory at the Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge Dirt competition in Houston, Texas, this Saturday. In an elite field of international BMX talent, the 30-year-old from Lake Haven, Australia, clinched the win with a dominant performance in the final. Joining him on the podium, 27-year-old Monster team rider Pat Casey from Placentia, California, earned a strong second-place finish on the dirt track outside NRG Stadium.

In the highly contested Best Trick competition, Monster Energy team rider Larry Edgar from Corona, California, put down the most creative move of the weekend to take the win.

Now in its fifth year, the Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge competition series takes place during select Monster Energy Supercross events. Previously contested as a triple challenge, this year’s schedule has been limited to two contests due to the adversities of the coronavirus pandemic. As always, BMX Dirt is dedicated to showcasing the progression in freestyle BMX. The contests continue to attract the best riders in the world as well as up-and-comers who are looking to make a name for themselves.

This weekend’s BMX Dirt event in Houston happened amid social distancing measures and with full safety protocols in place against the spread of Covid-19. The center of the BMX action was an outdoor track starting on a big portable roll-in, followed by two giant sets of dirt jumps for big air, as well as a quarter pipe at the end.

The field of riders was streamlined to only 16 contestants, including international elite riders and Olympics competitors. After the long hiatus on the BMX competition schedule in 2020, riders were bustling with energy and enthusiasm to finally be able throw down some tricks and chase some prize money while maintaining a safe distance. The competition format was ‘straight to finals’, consisting of four runs with the best score counting. For a unique twist, additional points from Best Trick factored into the riders’ overall scores as well.

Friday’s practice had to be moved to the night hours as 30-mile-per-hour winds gusted over the arena during the daytime. Despite the wind and cold, Monster Energy’s Edgar was out under the spotlights in the epic night session, working the course with creative transfers and tricks. Edgar carried his high-energy approach into Saturday’s contest with a 360 backward over the second jump—going from the landing into the lip—and then topping it off with a flair on the landing of the first jump. It was a wild show! To no surprise, Edgar took home the coveted Best Trick trophy at BMX Dirt in Houston.

Claiming the top spot in the main event in Houston this weekend Buckworth is no stranger to podium finishes.
With some of the hardest tricks in the business and despite the lack of contests as of late, the Australian rider proved that his skills had not rusted despite the long break. He got in the zone and rolled in fully committed for the no-handed double back flip straight into a superman front flip on the second jump. His incredible display of bike riding throughout the day earned Buckworth the bullhorn-style trophy, and he also came close to landing a decade 720 during the Best Trick competition.

Casey always looks extremely comfortable on big jumps – and BMX Dirt in Houston was no exception. Always going super high and nailing technical tricks, Casey sent a combo he once reserved for Best Trick over the second set with the tailwhip cash roll. Together with huge 360 double downside whips, and a collection of stylish combos earned Casey a strong second place on the Houston podium this Saturday.

Artmarket.com: Artprice Global Indices show the strength of Contemporary Art and Drawing in 2020: both segments adapted particularly well to rapid digitization

PARIS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As at 1 January 2021, the Artprice Global Indices are stronger actually stronger than twelve months earlier when the health crisis was still (almost) unthinkable. Six months ago no-one would have predicted such an outcome! In reality, the art market reacted quickly to the lockdown measures with auction houses slowing their high-end activities; but the overall intensity of trading remained extremely high and the unsold rate remained…

thierry Ehrmann, President and Founder of Artmarket.com and its Artprice department: «the works that were resold at auction in 2020 generally fetched better prices. Two segments in particular stood out: works on paper (+55%) and Contemporary Art (+48%). However, you have to take into account the method used to calculate our indices and anticipate the fact that they tend to flatten naturally over time«.

Auctions and repeat sales

Auction sales correspond to the visible segment of the Art Market and it’s probably the segment that has best adapted to the consequences of the pandemic by accelerating its switch to an online modus operandi. Artprice’s 2020 of the Art Market Report will soon reveal all the details of this transformation (the publication of our free report is expected in March 2021).

Artprice’s Global Indices are calculated on the basis of a very specific pool of works: lots which have already been sold at public auction. This method of calculation (the repeat-sales method) is considered particularly robust, but it excludes all lots that appear in an auction sale for the first time.

Extraordinary resales

Among the highest value increases recorded in 2020, Artprice was particularly interested in Banksy’s the performance. His acrylic on canvas Weston Super Mare (1999) was acquired for $16,700 in 2006 at Sotheby’s in London and was resold for $978,000 in October 2020 at Bonhams in London. The gain corresponds to an annual return on investment of 34% over 14 years.

Inversely, a small canvas by Raqib Shaw – Untitled (2004) – was acquired for $91,000 in 2008 at Sotheby’s New York, but sold for just $8,750 in 2020 at Wright in Chicago.

Between its last two appearances at auction, Joan Mitchell’s diptych La Grande Vallée VII (1983) multiplied in value 44 times, from $330,000 in 1989 to $14.5 million in 2020. Joan Mitchell was in fact the most successful female artist at auction in 2020, but her prices didn’t just soar last year. Taking into account all of her works sold and resold at auction over the years, Artprice estimates that her prices rose 15% over the last twelve months. This increase is added to the over 2000% value accretion calculated by Artprice using the same method between 2000 and 2019 for all of Mitchell’s work.

Zillow Survey Predicts Austin will be the Nation’s Hottest Housing Market in 2021, Leading a Sunbelt Surge

SEATTLE, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Austin will be America’s hottest housing market in 2021, leading a list of mostly Sun Belt cities expected to continue heating up faster than the nation’s large coastal markets, according to a new…

The booming Texas destination heads a lineup of sunny and relatively affordable metro areas — Phoenix, Nashville, Tampa and Denver — that are most likely to outperform the nation in home value growth, according to a panel of economists and real estate experts recently surveyed by Zillow.

The Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey, sponsored by Zillow and conducted quarterly by Pulsenomics LLC, asks a large panel of economists, investment strategists and real estate experts for their predictions about the U.S. housing market. The Q4 survey also asked about their expectations for 2021 home value growth in 20 large markets compared to the nation¹.

An overwhelming 84% of those surveyed said Austin values would out-perform the national average, compared to just 9% who believe it would fare worse. Phoenix came in second with 69%, followed by Nashville (67%), Tampa (60%), and Denver (56%). Page views on Zillow for-sale listings in Austin by out-of-town searchers were up 87% in November compared to 2019.

The top-five metros are all affordable options compared to expensive coastal areas that have led home appreciation ranks in recent years, providing relative value for Millennials looking to take advantage of low mortgage rates to buy their first home. The top five are also, for the most part, sunny locales. Four of the five counties holding the largest cities in these MSAs all rank in the top-third of counties in the contiguous U.S. for average daily sunlight, according to NASA data analysed in The Washington Post. Davidson County, home to Nashville, ranked just below the midline.

«The pandemic has not upended the housing market so much as accelerated trends we saw coming into 2020,» said Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker. «These Sun Belt destinations are migration magnets thanks to relatively affordable, family-sized homes, booming economies and sunny weather. Record-low mortgage rates and the increased demand for living space, coupled with a surge of Millennials buying their first homes, will keep the pressure on home prices there for the foreseeable future.»

An improved economic outlook thanks to COVID-19 vaccine roll-outs and better treatments was pegged as the most likely tailwind for the housing market in 2021, followed by sustained strength in first-time home buying among Millennials. It proved a powerful demand driver in 2020 and is expected to persist for years to come.

Those looking for homes — especially their first — will enter a competitive market. Getting pre-approved for a mortgage, working with a trusted agent and taking advantage of online research tools are a few tips shoppers can use to get a leg up.

Austin was predicted to be the hottest market in last year’s survey, and that proved true. By mid-December the median list price for homes in the Austin metropolitan area was up 23.6% year over year — the largest rise among the 50 largest U.S. markets.

«During the pandemic I think a lot of people spending a big portion of their paycheck on rent or mortgage in cities like New York and San Francisco started working from home and suddenly had options. Their dollar goes a lot further in the South, the climate is better, and Austin has a lot to offer — from the food scene to outdoor activities and live music,» said Thomas Brown, a Zillow Premier Agent in Austin and CEO of The Agency Texas. «Those factors are going to continue drawing people into the Austin market in 2021.»

Expensive coastal cities are predicted to fall short of the national average — 82% of respondents said New York would see sub-par growth in 2021. San Francisco (77%) and Los Angeles (67%) round out the bottom of the 20-city list.

Tight supply conditions and affordability concerns were each cited by 29% of the panelists as the greatest headwind.

«While sustained tailwinds are forecasted this year across most of the shifting U.S. housing landscape, certain densely populated markets with high-priced real estate face prevailing headwinds,» said Terry Loebs, founder of Pulsenomics. «Accordingly, home value appreciation rates within coastal cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are projected to see a downshift from last year’s remarkable levels.»
