Polish home décor company successfully goes live with Centric PLM to drive innovation, foster business expansion and streamline operations

CAMPBELL, Calif., June 2, 2025 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that home&You, a leading Polish home décor and furnishings retailer, has implemented Centric PLM™ to accelerate go-to-market innovation, optimize operations and enhance collaboration. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home and related goods like cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Home&you was founded as a textile company known as MISTRAL in 1992 before evolving into home&you S.A. With over 30 years of serving customers in Poland, the company now generates approximately €150 million in annual revenue. Headquartered in Gdansk and specialized in home textiles, décor, kitchen items, small furniture and lighting products, the company is expanding rapidly, selling its products through local retail stores while steadily strengthening its e-commerce presence. This includes an increasing international marketplace reach, with recent entries into regions such as Germany and Spain.

Amid rapid growth and the challenges of an outdated and unstable PLM system, home&you sought a future-proof solution for its product development that offered stability, innovation and efficiency without extensive customization. “Centric PLM stood out as the ideal technology because of its proven industry expertise, extensive feature set and user-friendly configuration options,” says Michał Jaros, IT Director at home&you. After evaluating multiple providers, home&you was convinced by Centric Software’s deep industry experience and expert guidance, ensuring seamless integration with their ERP and vendor management processes. With a network of over 500 vendors, the company is also focused on optimizing and simplifying supplier management to enhance operational agility.

The implementation process was intensive yet successful, spanning approximately ten months. Despite the tight timeline, Centric PLM was successfully deployed. “The Centric experts were supportive and brought experience from other customers, enabling them to propose solutions that fit our needs perfectly,” Beata Koszarek, PLM Project Manager explains. “They really know the business, we didn’t have to describe our processes from scratch and this was a game-changer,” adds Jaros.

With a modern and robust PLM solution now in place, home&you has already seen immediate benefits, despite the go-live occurring mid-season. “Creating products in bulk and replicating SKUs is now significantly easier compared to our previous system,” Koszarek says. “It takes considerably less time than before thanks to a reduction in manual tasks and fewer errors,” she adds.

Beyond technology, the home&you team values the expertise and support provided by Centric Software’s implementation specialists. “We were looking for a provider that offers both a solid platform and experienced consultants with industry know-how and Centric Software delivered on both fronts,” says Jaros. “Looking ahead, we don’t anticipate any major changes in how we use Centric PLM, as it suits our needs. We’re looking forward to growing our business with a reliable PLM.”

In the next phase, home&you plans to expand its use of Centric PLM by implementing Centric’s “Capture It” app to enhance product sourcing and team collaboration. “With the mobile app, our buyers will be able to capture product inspirations and vendor details on the go, further streamlining our product development process,” notes Jaros. “We see this as a key step in strengthening our digital capabilities and improving efficiency.”

“We are thrilled to partner with home&you as they continue to expand their business through innovation and streamlined operations,” says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “By leveraging Centric PLM, home&you is well-positioned to enhance product development, improve supplier relationships and accelerate market responsiveness.”
