(San Francisco Bay Area, California, May 5, 2026) Discover e-Solutions (DeSL), a leading
provider of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and digital transformation solutions, today
announced the expansion of its partnership with Varsity Brands. Building on a relationship that
began in 2017, the new agreement extends DeSL’s platform across additional business units and
functionality.

Since first implementing DeSL in 2017 to support product development operations, Varsity
Spirit, a division of Varsity Brands, has leveraged the platform to drive greater efficiency and
visibility. The expanded rollout now extends across Varsity Brands and its divisions, including
Varsity Spirit and BSN SPORTS, further standardizing processes across the organization.

“By expanding our partnership with DeSL, we are strengthening collaboration across teams and
suppliers, improving visibility into development milestones, and streamlining the management of quotes, samples, and product data.” said Kevin Boleware, Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, Procurement and Product Development at Varsity Brands.

The broader platform rollout includes DeSL’s PLM, Quality Management, Color Lifecycle
Management (CLM), and Purchase Order (PO) Management solutions. In this next phase,
Varsity Brands will also extend platform access to key suppliers, enabling improved
collaboration for quote management and sample requests. Increased supplier connectivity will
reduce manual workflows, improve visibility, and accelerate decision making.

This expansion reflects a continued focus on operational excellence and innovation. DeSL looks
forward to supporting Varsity Brands as it advances product development and strengthens
supplier collaboration. For more information or to request a demo, visit desl.net.
