Fueling Growth for Fashion Brands and Retailers

The fashion industry is dynamic and competitive. Consumers demand more exciting and personalized products, faster than ever, but are also seeking more ethical and environmentally sustainable options while engaging with multiple channels. There is more pressure for every SKU to be profitable and get the right product to the right place, at the right time, but it is impossible to make good decisions when working with piles of spreadsheets and emails — errors that can impact sales and consumer happiness while potentially damaging the brand.

Centric PLM and Retail Planning fuel growth for fashion brands and retailers by seamlessly linking the value chain together to bring more profitable collections of successful products to market, on point and on time.

Commit to sustainability and transparency
