Reviewing samples is often a tedious and repetitive process using paper versions of the tech pack to record results during fit meetings requiring information to be rekeyed when back at your desk. With Sample Review, developers and patternmakers can create style reviews, record notes, capture and share photos and changes with teams using Centric SMB in real time during reviewing sessions. Eliminate the reviewing bottleneck to speed products to market and deliver bottom-line results.

Bring a mobile device into fit sessions and save time by using Fit Review to view and sort reviewed styles, enter measurements and add comments directly in Centric SMB.
