Kering Beauté Selects Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Solution

CAMPBELL, Calif., October 23, 2024 – Kering Beauté has selected Centric Software® and completed the first phase of the rollout of Centric PLM™. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, outdoor, luxury, multi-category retail, grocery, food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care and consumer electronics to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

The new partnership between Kering Beauté and Centric Software has adopted a phased rollout approach, with the first phase focused on the product development teams and the second on the packaging development teams.

“The Kering Beauté project is innovative in that it involves rolling out Centric PLM from the early days of the brand’s journey within the Kering Group. We essentially started from a blank canvas, which will ensure a streamlined process from the start and into the future,” says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “We are thrilled that Kering Beauté has selected Centric Software as its trusted partner.”
