AIMS offers complete order and production processing system to Laga Handbags.

SANTA ANA, Calif. – January 2, 2008 – AIMS, Apparel Information Management System, an industry leader in apparel software since 1984, offers their state of the art software to Laga Handbags, the unique and stylish, Irvine handbag company.

Henry Cherner from AIMS met with Laga Co-Founders Roy & Louise Van Broekhuizen to assist them with their new handbag business after reading their story in the Orange County Register.

The Van Broekhuizens started Laga Handbags as a continuation of tsunami relief. Commissioned by Saddleback Church in Lake Forest Calif., pastor is Dr. Rick Warren, author of best seller “The Purpose Driven Life” as tsunami relief coordinator, Van Broekhuizen and wife Louise, formed Laga Designs International, Inc.

Laga Handbags are made by tsunami survivors of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. The tsunami devastated Aceh province on December 26, 2004. They started their training center and handbag factory with 12 young women who have lost many of their family members and friends, currently the number has grown to 150, through the tremendous response and support of Orange County, where they reside.

Laga has become a more efficient handbag company by using AIMS features such as order processing, inventory management, production, importing, and accounting. Laga is more responsive to its customer’s needs using AIMS, which provides the inventory and production information they need when dealing with customers.

AIMS is the most user friendly software found compared to other systems, and has all of the features needed for their growing handbag company. Our manual way of handling orders was primitive, time consuming and error prone, as our company grew, it was obvious that our previous methods would not be able to meet the specialized needs of our unique handbag company.”

Laga has been able to get a better handle on their inventory and production needs and with use of AIMS, resulted with an increase in the bottom line.
