Justin Allen Leverages Centric PLM to Serve Customers Better and Faster

Sleepwear manufacturer partners with Centric Software to build a digital R&D platform that will enhance efficiency, visibility and customer service

CAMPBELL, Calif., October 29, 2024 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that sleepwear company The Justin Allen Group (Justin Allen) has selected Centric PLM™ to manage growth and streamline product development. 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, footwear, outdoor, home and related goods like cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Justin Allen was founded in Hong Kong in 1983 and is primarily engaged in OEM clothing manufacturing, focusing on sleepwear and loungewear. Through vertical integration, Justin Allen provides customers with a one-stop-shop clothing solution. Justin Allen has production facilities in Cambodia and China, and has earned the trust of major global retailers including Walmart, Primark and Marks & Spencer.

Justin Allen’s business experienced rapid growth during the pandemic thanks to the rise of global remote work. Since then, Justin Allen has maintained steady growth but also faced new challenges.

Justin Allen’s PLM Project Manager Jeff Yeung explains, “As our business continues to expand, the number of customers we serve increases, and the workload grows. At the same time, customers’ demands are becoming higher; they expect faster product development and delivery. Our existing systems and ways of working are gradually unable to meet such business demands. We need a new system to help us build a product database, making it easy for us to quickly reference and assist in product development, thereby providing better and faster services to more customers.”

Justin Allen reached out to various vendors to find a suitable PLM solution to manage their fast-paced growth, and selected Centric Software as their PLM partner.

“Centric collaborates with many brands and manufacturers in the apparel industry, with a very broad coverage,” says Yeung. “We believe Centric has the best practices in the industry. All the features in its system meet our needs, and it has great flexibility.”

The initial goals of the PLM project are to establish a clothing R&D database, improve management of fabrics, customer and supplier data, standardize data flows and visualize processes.

Ms. Yang Shuhuan, General Manager of Justin Allen, says, “The PLM project will transition us from paper-based work to mobile-based work. By successfully introducing Centric PLM, we can free our employees from redundant tasks and enhance our work efficiency and customer service capabilities. I also look forward to gaining better management visibility, and having a clear overview of current project processes, progress and performance data.”

Yeung adds, “We have great trust in the Centric team. Their rich industry experience and professionalism will lead our project to success.”

“We are delighted that Justin Allen trusts Centric and has chosen Centric PLM to lay the foundation for digital R&D,” said Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “Centric will be fully committed to cooperating with Justin Allen and delivering the PLM project on time, and we look forward to PLM enabling them to better serve their customers.”
