Epic Group Implements Centric PLM to Shorten Development Times and Meet Customer Demands

World-class Sustainable Fashion Company chooses Centric Software® PLM to Become More Agile and Data-Driven.

CAMPBELL, Calif., December 8, 2021 – Epic Group, a leading  apparel and fashion company, has selected Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Epic Group is a key player in the apparel industry. Starting as a major textiles trading house, then as a leader in sourcing quality fabrics, and since 2005, a state-of-the-art manufacturing company with facilities in Bangladesh, Vietnam and Ethiopia. The company is dedicated to seeking out the highest standards in everything they do, from world-class apparel manufacturing and design services to innovative machinery that enables them to reach ambitious sustainability targets.

A combination of speed, efficiency, technology, design and innovation is essential for the group to meet ever-changing market trends and consumer demands.

Ranjan Mahtani, Executive Chairman at Epic Group explains how there was a lack of efficiency within some areas of the business, “Today, product development activities are mostly done through email exchanges and excel sheets. Tech packs are received under multiple different formats. We see work duplication and weak traceability in the current model.”

To support the integration of product related data, processes and business systems, Epic Group selected Centric PLM based on its cloud-based model, strong customer references and experience with OEM models.

“Centric PLM provides a single source of truth for product information and connects the various teams who work on the product, be it designers, technicians, sample room associates, sourcing and merchandising staff. Centric PLM’s built-in 3D connect toolbar seamlessly integrates with our current 3D capabilities too,” comments Mahtani.

“The digital fabric library and proper storage of data will allow us to re-use product information, thus saving a lot of time. We will increase productivity, become more agile and gain a faster turnaround for products. It will help us to create more accurate performance indicators, leading to a virtuous cycle of improvement.”

“We are delighted to be an important part of Epic Group’s digital transformation journey,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. “We are excited to work closely with such an ambitious and innovative organization, empowering them to meet the demands of their customers.”
