Luxury Brands
Quality and workmanship standards for luxury goods makers are unmatched. Opulent – and expensive – materials drive and inspire product design and development, while brands concentrate on ensuring that finished products match customer expectations.
The Centric 8 PLM software lets luxury brands focus on the materials, designs and quality that will inspire the world and captivate customers.
Consumer Goods
From snowboards and outdoor gear, to baby strollers, to home décor products, today’s fast-moving consumer goods companies design in multiple locations, source in others, and manufacturer in yet others. Centric 8 PLM software for consumer products lets them share real-time data across multiple global locations, product categories, brands, seasons and collections.
Footwear
Sophisticated product structure capability lets companies easily re-use and re-purpose base styles and designs, and change out individual variables. Using defined industry product structures and rules, Centric 8 efficiently creates valid bills of materials.
Fashion & SoftGoods
Centric 8’s PLM solution for fashion produces real results for specialty retailers, private-label brands, footwear and accessories, and home fashions.
Retail
Up to 50% of new products fail to meet their sales goals. Sophisticated retailers know they need to provide a consistent selling experience across all channels in order to change that. Centric 8 PLM ushers products from inspiration to the store shelf, allowing retailers to easily monitor customer experience and measure that against company standards.
“The strength and flexibility of Centric 8 can handle the shorter product development cycle we face, along with the more comprehensive, detailed sample development requests we require.”
“The ability to make changes almost instantaneously, thanks to the system’s configurability rather than custom code or reprogramming, means that Centric 8 will maximize derived value, minimize risk, and speed benefit delivery for Ted.”
“The software’s scalability, along with the fact that it is designed for the specific needs of the apparel industry, will allow Cache Cache China to continue its fast-growth strategy.”
“Our move to Centric 8 is an important step forward in collecting vital product information in an organized, easy-to-access way. PLM will eliminate redundant data input, reduce errors and save time.”
