Philippine fashion enterprise links product and planning decisions on one platform as it scales globally
CAMPBELL, Calif., May 28, 2026 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that GOLDEN ABC Inc. has selected Centric PLM™ and Centric Planning & Pricing™, powered by Centric AI, to unify product development and planning on a single platform to accelerate global growth. Centric Software delivers innovative, integrated, end-to-end AI-powered enterprise solutions to take products from concept to commercialization. Fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail teams can plan, design, develop, source, comply, buy, make, price, allocate, assort, sell and replenish products to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
GOLDEN ABC, also known as The Penshoppe Group, is a multi-awarded international fashion enterprise founded in the Philippines in 1986. Home to proprietary brands including PENSHOPPE, OXGN, FORME, MEMO, REGATTA and BOCU, the company operates more than a thousand stores and has a presence in countries across Asia.
As GOLDEN ABC prepares for its next phase of growth, including plans to double in size over the next five years, the company is focused on strengthening the operational foundation required to scale. It identified a critical gap between product development and planning, where disconnected processes limited speed and execution. “We saw the need for both PLM and Planning because we wanted a unified solution that aligns upstream product decisions with downstream commercial planning, rather than optimizing one area while creating friction in another,” says a Golden ABC representative.
GOLDEN ABC selected Centric PLM and Centric Planning & Pricing, powered by Centric AI, to align product creation with merchandise planning on a single platform. This unified approach reduces delays, improves cross-functional visibility and accelerates execution from concept to market. By bringing demand signals earlier into product decisions and aligning planning with real-time product and inventory data, teams can make faster, more informed assortment and pricing decisions.
Centric AI is the intelligence layer of the product lifecycle, combining decades of retail domain expertise and structured product models to drive real-time, AI-driven decisions. By combining out-of-the-box use cases and specialized AI agents across design, sourcing, costing and compliance, it enables companies to adapt instantly to market changes and optimize outcomes from concept to consumer.
During the evaluation process, Centric Software stood out for its ability to deliver an end-to-end platform purpose-built for the fashion industry. “Centric Software stood out not only for the depth of its solutions, but for its understanding of how our teams operate across the business. It gives us confidence that we can meet current operational needs while scaling with agility,” adds the representative.
The implementation will bring merchandising, product development, planning, sourcing and other business functions involved onto a shared data foundation, improving coordination across the go-to-market process. GOLDEN ABC expects increased visibility across the product journey, faster time to market and more precise, data-driven assortment decisions.
“The investment is about more than improving processes. Centric Software establishes the operational discipline and infrastructure required to scale,” says a Golden ABC representative. “Aligning product creation with planning and commercial execution is critical as we strengthen performance and expand globally.”
“GOLDEN ABC is taking a strategic step toward unifying product concept and commercial execution on a single digital platform powered by Centric AI,” says Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software. “We are proud to partner with GOLDEN ABC as it builds a stronger foundation for growth, agility and cross-functional alignment.”
