How do Centric Solutions work for consumer electronic companies?

Centric’s technology solutions sit alongside or replace existing enterprise platforms to supercharge end-to-end product planning, development and launch with full control over workflows, supply chains, costs and quality management.

Powerful Planning

Create “what if” cost scenarios to gain accurate visibility over product margins early on. Link financial, merchandising and assortment data with product information to save time and resources. Combine visual planning with advanced analytics for enhanced team decision-making.

Portfolio Management

Plan and manage complex private label and branded product portfolios across multiple collections, price points, geographies and channels. Ensure the right products are sold in the right places, develop private label products and spot gaps in product assortments.

Sourcing and Supplier Collaboration

Streamline branded products, own label products and packaging. Launch and manage requests of proposal (RFPs) en masse, easily compare supplier responses, and streamline collaboration via the supplier portal to oversee complex global supply chains.

QMS and Engineering Change Management

Maintain full visibility and decision stage gate history attached directly to product records. Connect to regulatory databases to easily track compliance with regional regulations. Use Engineering Change Management to quickly identify and update non-conforming products.

Packaging and Proofing

Cloud-based, user-friendly packaging and proofing management solution. Save time and reduce potential for errors, duplication and version control issues with real-time collaboration and change tracking. Quickly adjust labelling and packaging according to regional requirements.

Sustainability
