INUIKII Successfully Implements Centric PLM On Scope, On Time and On Budget

Swiss premium footwear brand centralizes product information with Centric Software to improve collaboration and transparency across teams and suppliers 

CAMPBELL, Calif., April 9, 2026 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that INUIKII has gone live with Centric PLM™ to strengthen product data management and streamline collaboration across internal teams and suppliers. 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.

Founded in 2013 and based in Switzerland, INUIKII is a family-owned footwear brand rooted in Swiss design values, with sustainability at its core. Established with the ambition to merge functionality and comfort with a fashion-forward aesthetic, the brand has since evolved into a year-round label offering seasonal collections for men, women and children. INUIKII operates in the premium segment and produces several hundred SKUs each year, sourcing 90% of its materials and carrying out 60% of its production in Europe and 40% in Asia. The brand collaborates with an international network of over 50 material suppliers, along with multiple manufacturers for footwear and garments, while continuously enhancing supply chain transparency.

As INUIKII’s collections expanded and SKU complexity increased, product data was scattered across spreadsheets, emails and individual tools. This fragmentation reduced transparency across teams, while also complicating communication with suppliers. To address this growing complexity, INUIKII set out to establish a single source of truth for product information and collaboration, laying the groundwork for a scalable operational foundation with Centric PLM across the entire product lifecycle.

“Centric stood out thanks to its deep fashion and footwear industry expertise, as well as its reputation—many of our suppliers were already familiar with it,” says Alessio Maag, Co-Founder and Chief Production Officer at INUIKII. “Centric PLM’s flexibility, scalability and strong industry references gave us confidence it would support both our current needs and future ambitions.”

After a rigorous selection process, INUIKII moved from project kick-off to go-live in just seven months. The implementation followed a phased approach, with INUIKII and Centric first establishing core product data and seasonal workflows before expanding functionality once the foundation was in place. INUIKII has now begun onboarding suppliers, marking the next phase in strengthening collaboration and supporting more efficient decision-making.

“Centric PLM has been one of, if not the smoothest implementation, I’ve been through, with scope, timing and budget all managed well,” says Maag. “The phased approach enabled us to manage change while maintaining day-to-day operations and teams are already seeing advantages from working with a single source of truth.” As supplier onboarding progresses, INUIKII expects to see further gains in efficiency and cycle time, building momentum for the next stage of its PLM journey.

Looking forward, INUIKII plans to expand its use of Centric PLM to new categories, strengthen sustainability tracking and connect additional tools into a broader digital ecosystem. The goal is to create a connected environment rather than isolated tools, taking a step-by-step approach as the brand continues to evolve its product operations.

Drawing on its experience, INUIKII encourages other footwear brands embarking on a PLM transformation to define their objectives early and avoid trying to do everything at once. “Invest time in change management and involve key users from the start. A PLM implementation is not just an IT project; it is a transformation of how you work. The more aligned your teams are, the more value you will unlock.”

“INUIKII’s go-live marks an important milestone in its digital transformation journey,” says Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software. “We’re pleased to support INUIKII as they continue to modernize their product operations and position the brand for long-term growth with Centric PLM.”
