Centric Connect NYC

“We really look at when is the exact right time for this specific item to launch in our assortment—when consumers want it”

“Centric Market Intelligence is a very intuitive tool. It’s easy to use. One of the things that it offers is a lot of broad analysis. We have continued to work on use cases with the Centric team so we can then give our teams specific instances in which to leverage this tool. Over time, more and more users have jumped onboard.”

“Before COVID, we had a 5.6% operating margin at the end of fiscal year 2020. We closed this past year at 12%. It is a huge improvement in profits! ...If we had had a lot of inventory, we could not have done it. Centric Planning has been an enabler to truly follow our strategy and increase our profitability in a very, very big way.”

— Vice President of Global Inventory Management | GUESS Europe

“One of the things that’s made Centric Market Intelligence such a great partner is that we’ll have an idea and ask them, ‘can I get this type of information?’ and not only will the Centric team be available to answer questions, but they’ll go above and beyond. I can’t tell you how many times that they’ve said, ‘let me play with this,’ and by the end of the day I’ll get a workbook that gets me started!”

“With Centric Pricing & Inventory, we have been able to increase the gross profit margin by between 2% – 4% with a significantly lower markdown rate.”

“With the new Centric Planning solution, buying and merchandising teams can work more collaboratively and are saving time because manual data entry has been eliminated. Being able to create what-if scenarios empowers teams to make strategic decisions faster and achieve sales and margin targets.”
