German clothing brand digitalizes design and streamlines product development with PLM and visual assortment solutions from Centric Software
CAMPBELL, Calif., June 28, 2024 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that German pants company Leineweber GmbH & Co. KG (BRAX) will implement their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution Centric PLM™ and Centric Visual Boards™. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, outdoor, luxury, multi-category retail, grocery, food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care and consumer electronics to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Founded in 1888, BRAX specializes in pants and is renowned for blending tradition and technical innovation. Today, BRAX is based in Herford, Germany and produces four collections per year across four brands: BRAX FEEL GOOD, RAPHAELA by BRAX, EUREX by BRAX and PNTS.
A majority wholesale operation, BRAX recognized that their existing PLM did not enable the supply chain transparency or flexibility that they needed to comply with EU sustainability directives.
Seeing an opportunity to rethink both product development and design, BRAX chose to implement Centric PLM and the Centric Visual Assortment Board, part of the Centric Visual Boards family of digital boards for collaborative, visual decision-making to enable market expansion and alleviate the manual workload required.
“Our creative teams were mind-blown when they saw the Visual Assortment Board,” says Markus Lacher, Director of Digitalization & IT at BRAX. “They had never imagined that product ideation and design could be supported by digital tools so early in the process.”
With Centric solutions as the cornerstone for accurate, detailed and digitalized data management, the native free flow of product data between the Visual Assortment Board and Centric PLM means BRAX will be able to:
“Before we even make the first prototype, we will save a lot on costs. Centric PLM and Visual Assortment Board are the foundation of our digitalization roadmap for our future design and product development process,” says Lacher, “With this investment, we will enable more flexible, creative design and planning to better meet demand and maintain customer loyalty, which are enormously important to us.”
“A best-of-breed approach is our priority,” explains Lacher. “We want a modern, user-friendly, cloud-based platform that is future-proofed with next-generation capabilities such as plug-ins for 3D solutions and integration with our existing enterprise systems, as well as future investments in AI and business intelligence tools.”
“We are very happy to announce that BRAX has chosen to partner with Centric Software,” says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “BRAX is a future-focused company with a commitment to choosing best-in-class solutions, and we are honored to work with them. We are looking forward to working with BRAX to transform design and product development and achieve their business goals.”
