InterDesign Invests in Innovative Product Lifecycle Management Solution

CAMPBELL, California, October 27, 2020 – Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, InterDesign.

Established in 1974 and based in Solon, Ohio, InterDesign is a housewares company that makes bath, kitchen, laundry, closet and other innovative storage solutions. InterDesign currently sells to 100+ countries with distribution in Ohio, Europe, China and Japan.

Due to the growing complexity of their business and the need to manage higher volumes of product at faster speeds, InterDesign enlisted Centric 8 PLM.

Radu Ghiorghie, Design Director at InterDesign says, “The evolution of our processes is a mirror of our growth as a company from both the employee footprint and the complexity of our operations. With that growth, comes a cultural shift and in parallel, being cognizant of the continuous advancement of technology made us realize that we needed a strategic goal around digital transformation tools, which led us to PLM.”

Today, all their product information is in one digital, accessible repository, roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and there is total product definition at the front-end.

Ghiorghie says it is important to have “the ability to see where everything is at any point in time especially at the front end, where we really nailed the product definition and categories. All that information is now very well organized for product development. We are seeing these benefits immediately.”

How did Centric PLM provide the solution to get InterDesign’s data in order?
