Bestseller Improves Business Intelligence and Innovation with Centric Software

Campbell, Calif., February 14, 2018 – Centric Software is delighted to announce the release of a success story video about its customer, Bestseller.

BFGC markets clothing and accessories in more than 6,000 stores in China, under five Bestseller brands (Only, Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, Selected and Name IT) as well as the independent J.
