Luxury house to rely on Centric Software for accurate product data, optimized decision–making and a foundation for CSR objectives.
CAMPBELL, California, May 9 2023 – Zadig&Voltaire, the French ready-to-wear fashion and luxury accessories brand, has chosen Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution to power its digital transformation. Centric Software® provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Founded in 1997 by Thierry Gillier, Zadig&Voltaire embodies an independent and bold fashion style that reflects its era. Artistic director Cecilia Bönström’s designs suggest sophisticated yet casual looks. Through this mix of contemporaneity and timelessness, Zadig&Voltaire became a reference for “effortless luxury”.
Choosing Centric Software means adopting a PLM trusted by some of the biggest luxury fashion houses in the world. “We decided to select Centric so that we could benefit from industry best practices and a standardized solution already at the heart of many other brands and retailers in the fashion and luxury sector,” comments Rémy Baume, General Manager at Zadig&Voltaire.
Driven by strong growth and as part of the ongoing structuring of its IT department jointly with different business units, Zadig&Voltaire identified the need for a digital solution to streamline product development: “We intend to optimize our product strategy by modulating our assortment in terms of width and depth, refining the product mix and aligning our pricing and supply strategies,” explains Vincent Queru, Chief Information Officer at Zadig&Voltaire. Centric PLM® will allow the design studio, as well product, global marketing & merchandising and operations teams to reduce time-consuming tasks that add little value.
Centric Software’s PLM technology will also help support the brand’s CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy, specifically with eco-development, eco-design and traceability. “Centric PLM will make it possible to gather and collect unique, reliable and shared data between the quality, development and production teams, thereby improving cross-department collaboration. This tool is a lever to better manage product composition data, country of origin for each component and supplier certifications,” continues Queru. “Finally, all of these advantages will enable easier and optimized processes as a whole for all of our services at every level, leading to increased efficiency.”
“We are delighted that Zadig&Voltaire is now using Centric Software’s PLM solution to manage its commercial and CSR strategies,” comments Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “With Centric PLM, Zadig&Voltaire will be able to make better decisions, faster and see optimized product development times and costs.”
