Growing Global Brands: Centric PLM powers business transformation at Tristate Holdings

Campbell, Calif., 28 December 2017 – Centric Software is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Tristate.

In 2015 Tristate acquired C.P. Company, an established Italian brand. To better fit with the group’s other brands and to expand beyond its local market, C.P. needed to undergo a rapid business transformation – one that would also lay the foundations for the future evolution of its business model.

“As an international, multi-brand and multi-environment company, we needed to streamline our product development,” explains Eddie Li, Tristate’s Corporate IT Director. “We wanted to make the most of the expertise that C.P. had and expand even further into Europe and beyond. We quickly realized that we needed to invest in a strong IT foundation if we were going to help C.P. grow to be a global brand.” With extremely tight time constraints, Li considers the speed of Tristate’s PLM project to be its most impressive result – particularly because it was achieved with no overspend.
