Centric PLM Helps Emerging SMB Apparel & Outdoor Brands Compete & Grow

LOS GATOS, Calif., May 26, 2016 – Centric Software, the market leader in product lifecycle management (PLM) for fashion, retail, footwear, luxury and consumer goods companies, is pleased to kick-off its Centric Small Business (CSB) roadshow in the United States. Centric Small Business is a cloud-based, SaaS PLM solution specifically tailored for small businesses to speed up product development, reduce costs and increase market responsiveness.

A webinar presenting the Centric Small Business solution will be held June 14 and will explain how cloud, SaaS and mobility-based PLM can be leveraged with very low up-front costs, no hardware implementation and without hiring IT additional resources.

Centric Small Business extends PLM, including mobility and key industry learnings and focuses on functionality tailored for small businesses. CSB gives access to the same innovations and benefits accessible to larger companies such as increased productivity, faster time to market and operational agility.

“As we expanded our activities, we couldn’t rely on spreadsheets anymore to track product development activities. We decided to look for a solution that would enable us to improve efficiency, enhance visibility, reduce lead times and improve product margins. We chose CSB because of its simplicity and flexibility. It is a comprehensive PLM solution that can adapt to our needs as our business grows,” explains a customer.

“Small companies create some of the most exciting products but often struggle to structure their processes and leverage their competitive advantages. With CSB, they can benefit from Centric’s proven industry best practices and intuitive technologies developed from our extensive experience with implementing PLM solutions for larger businesses,” explains Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric Software.

To learn more about Centric Small Business, attend a fun, free 30-minute webinar on June 14, 2016, at 2 pm EST. Presenters David Gardner and Dominique Guiliani of Centric Software will explain how PLM accelerates the product development process and gives SMB fashion brands a competitive edge.
