Saint Angelo Transforms R&D Data Into a Strategic Business Asset With Centric PLM

Premium made-to-measure menswear company successfully implemented Centric PLM to centralize technical knowledge and create a scalable foundation for product development

CAMPBELL, Calif., October 6, 2026 - Centric Software® is pleased to announce that Saint Angelo (BXN Holding Co., Ltd.) has successfully gone live with Centric PLM™ to build an end-to-end digital hub that drives innovation and data-driven decision-making across its made-to-measure business. 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.

Founded in 1996, BXN Holding Co., Ltd. is a publicly listed Chinese apparel company that has focused on the apparel industry for 30 years. Listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2007, the company generates more than RMB 5 billion in annual revenue, operates more than 1,800 online and offline retail locations and has three intelligent manufacturing bases in China. BXN Group operates nine retail brands and two B2B brands, creating a diversified portfolio across professional and lifestyle segments. Its core brand, Saint Angelo, specializes in premium made-to-measure apparel and has been advancing its digital transformation for more than a decade.

Saint Angelo’s Centric PLM implementation forms part of BXN Group’s broader Lighthouse Project, a strategic digital transformation initiative designed to advance intelligent manufacturing and digitalize key business processes. Within the Lighthouse Project, Centric PLM provides the R&D digital foundation for Saint Angelo’s made-to-measure business, connecting product development data and establishing more standardized processes across planning, design and production.

Zhao Guohua, Director of Customization Center and PLM Project at BXN Group says, “Before Centric PLM, we had no centralized way to manage sample garments, which made production handoffs difficult. Planning, design, production and sales each worked from disconnected information, which kept our data from effectively driving development and collaboration.”

Saint Angelo’s selection of Centric PLM builds on BXN Group’s longstanding relationship with Centric Software and the trust established through previous projects. “BXN Group has worked with Centric Software since 2018, and Centric Software’s deep fashion industry expertise and proven track record with more than 20,000 brands give us confidence. Saint Angelo’s selection of Centric PLM builds on that trusted partnership and marks another important step in BXN Group’s digital transformation,” says Ge Wujing, General Manager of the Manufacturing Center at BXN Group.

The implementation was completed on time, within the agreed scope and within budget. “We are highly satisfied with the implementation outcome,” adds Zhao. “Strong collaboration between the Saint Angelo and Centric Software teams, clear project governance and active participation from R&D leadership were critical to the successful go-live. Centric Software’s industry expertise ensured that the platform reflects our operational requirements and creates a scalable foundation for future development.”

With Centric PLM now live, Saint Angelo has established a shared R&D platform with traceability across the product development process. Centric PLM now serves as the central repository for Saint Angelo’s core R&D assets and technical expertise, capturing them in one place. It includes standardized component libraries and foundational pattern and panel libraries that preserve the brand’s design know-how and make proven product knowledge easier to reuse across teams.

“Saint Angelo’s continued trust in Centric Software reflects the strength of our collaboration,” says Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software. “With proprietary technical know-how made more accessible and reusable with Centric PLM, Saint Angelo can carry proven expertise forward into future product development and strengthen continuity as the business evolves.”
