AlumierMD Partners with Centric Software for Operational Efficiency in Skincare

Successful implementation of Centric PLM enhances collaboration, streamlines processes and elevates product quality in the skin care industry

CAMPBELL, Calif., May 1, 2025 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that AlumierMD, a leading brand in the medical-grade skincare industry, has successfully implemented Centric Software’s product lifecycle management solution, Centric PLM™. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, comply, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, food & beverage and cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded on the principles of innovation, safety and efficacy, AlumierMD was established to provide high-quality formulations that empower skincare professionals. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the company offers a diverse range of skincare products, sold through professional channels and their Shopify-powered e-commerce platform, where patients access products through professional clinics, ensuring accessibility for consumers seeking effective skincare solutions guided by the recommendations of experts.

Faced with operational challenges such as siloed teams and varying regulatory requirements, AlumierMD needed a unified approach. By pursuing Centric PLM, the company aimed to enhance communication, minimize project delays and ensure regulatory compliance across its operations.

“We recognized the need for a platform that could optimize our workflows and improve our overall operational efficiency,” said Nadeira Rickford, Vice President, Product Development at AlumierMD. “Centric PLM offered us the flexibility to manage our product bills of materials effectively and track development with ease.”

Centric PLM has transformed AlumierMD’s operational landscape, enabling complete document management and standardized workflows for packaging, labeling and artwork management. The integration of formula management ensures accuracy and consistency at all development stages. This meticulous handling of product data ensures regulatory compliance. Role-based secure access protects sensitive information, enhancing data security across the organization.

“By implementing Centric PLM, we have created a single source of truth that has eliminated data duplication and improved real-time communication among our teams and external partners,” says Sanford Lane, VP of Engineering at AlumierMD. “This has been instrumental in reducing access times for information and enhancing a culture of collaboration.”

The PLM interface has facilitated adaptation to change and navigation of complexities in product development without disrupting existing data. Comprehensive training and robust change management practices have also been vital in ensuring successful adoption of the new system.

Centric PLM not only addresses current operational challenges but also strengthens AlumierMD’s commitment to excellence and positions the company for ongoing growth. “We are thrilled to see AlumierMD successfully go live with Centric PLM,” said Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “This strategic initiative streamlines operations, improves collaboration and elevates product quality, positioning AlumierMD to meet the evolving demands of a competitive market and continue to deliver exceptional products to its customers.”
