Only 6 Months After Centric PLM Implementation, Loghaus Has Already Cut Time-to-market by 33%

One of the oldest DTC women’s fashion retailers in Brazil selects Centric PLM to accelerate the go-to-market by up to 50% for its 160+ annual collections.

CAMPBELL, Calif., August 8, 2023 – Centric Software^® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Loghaus.

Founded in 1983, Loghaus is one of the oldest direct-to-consumer (DTC) businesses in Brazil, initially selling its products through mail order catalogs and distributors before the internet became popular. Today, Loghaus’ retail business is 100% online and the product portfolio spans women’s fashion to kitchenware to home textiles and more. The e-comm retailer develops 160+ collections a year for its six brands, such as Quintess, Quatro Estações, Bonprix and Marguerite, as well as other third-party brands.

Loghaus is a fast-growing company that was seeking to infuse agility and speed in their product development process. The product development teams were using spreadsheets and an unfinished in-house-developed system that was not scalable for the company’s rapidly expanding products and categories. Product data was scattered in multiple locations and there was no central location for information, resulting in wasted time, errors and general lack of efficiency.

Kassin Thayana Dias, Business Manager of General Apparel at Loghaus describes the need for a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. “Our deadlines were getting pushed out and we were missing opportunities to put relevant products in market. We are an exclusively online company—our collections are 100% developed for online sales, so we needed to shorten that time.”

The company set out to find the right PLM platform to take them into the future. Having already settled on one vendor, Loghaus did an abrupt about-face, ultimately selecting Centric PLM^TM. Today, they have gained significant strides toward their ambitious goal of a 50% reduction in time-to-market by achieving a documented 33% time-savings after only 6 months into it.
