“The retail landscape has never been more multifaceted than it is now – the current economic flux and supply chain crunch coming off the heels of the pandemic have led consumers to be prudent and discerning. Comparing prices is now standard as is paying more only for a compelling product,” the companies said in their announcement.
Centric Software, provides market-driven enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell consumer goods such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor and cosmetics.
“Retailers and brands are faced with a new reality. Not only do they need to carefully weigh options prior to bringing products to market, but they also need to fully understand the competitive landscape after product launch,” the two companies explain. “They must plan, develop, source, cost and price quickly and in accordance with the market. Until now, there has not been an end-to-end solution that both provided the intelligence needed to drive pricing and style-related decisions and also move those products to execution and launch while optimizing factors impacting consumer experience such as product availability, time to market and quality.”
