Scotch & Soda, a Dutch fashion company based in Amsterdam, US, that designs and manufactures menswear and womenswear is set to install the Centric 8 Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software by Centric Software Inc.

“Centric 8 will help to expand the product range, streamline the product development process, increase productivity, and improve collaboration within and between internal and external teams,” the head of sourcing at Scotch & Soda Duco Habbema said in a statement.

“Centric Software Inc provides a solution that allows the design staff to remain creative while providing improved insight into the upcoming collection for buying and production teams,” he added.
