Centric Software’s success story video with Ackermans

Campbell, Calif., Dec 27, 2016- Centric is delighted to announce the release of its success story with its renowned partner and customer Ackermans

Ackermans, the leading South African value retailer, chose Centric PLM as they looked to synchronize company information globally, clear out paper and adopt a digital transformation and have immediate access to business-critical information. Centric Software’s flexibility in accommodating the fast pace of change of the fashion industry initially caught Ackermans’ attention and the rest is history. As Renée Jain, Supply Chain Systems Manager at Ackermans says “It’s always a challenge for us finding people that we can rely on and trust, but Centric’s local consultants just made the implementation so easy. Their flexibility and their ability to make changes and have them ready the very next day, meant that we could actually grow into the system as it was being implemented.”

The Ackermans story goes back as far as 1916, when Gus Ackerman opened the rst store in Wynberg in Cape Town. His vision for the store was to create a place where customers could nd great products at fantastic prices, which is exactly what Ackermans became. Ackermans was, subsequently, bought by the Pepkor Group in 1986.
