PLM for Specialty Retailers | Centric Software

Build Customer Loyalty with Expert Innovation

Expert product knowledge, great brand reputation and curated customer experiences make specialty retailers unique. Specialty retailers thrive by providing a wide variety of products within a narrow range of categories. Deep product knowledge and curated customer experiences offer further opportunity for differentiation.

However, the growth of multi-category retailers, the rise of online shopping and new, disruptive brands means competition is tougher than ever.

Centric PLM supercharges the product development process for specialty retailers, fueling the development of high-quality, unique products that meet consumer demand, maintain brand reputation and reinforce USPs, even in today’s accelerated marketplace.
