Polish Fashion Leader Streamlines Merchandise Financial Planning Across 5 Brands with Centric Planning

CAMPBELL, Calif., December 17, 2024 – Centric Software® is thrilled to announce the successful go-live of its Centric Planning™ solution with LPP SA (LPP), a prominent European fashion retailer known for its diverse portfolio of five brands: Reserved, Cropp, House, Mohito and Sinsay. This milestone marks a transformative moment for LPP, as Centric Planning enables precision, efficiency and visibility across its extensive omnichannel operations. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, price and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, consumer electronics, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

LPP chose to partner with Centric Software to enhance its Merchandise Financial Planning and Assortment Strategy execution. With Centric Planning now live, LPP’s merchandising and planning teams can collaborate seamlessly in a centralized system, bringing unified processes across its portfolio of brands while significantly reducing reliance on complex spreadsheets.

Miłosz Wójcik, Product Lead at Silky Coders, LPP’s IT subsidiary, shared his insights on the transition, “Centric has been an invaluable partner, providing the support we need to streamline our operations and unify planning across all brands. The solution has empowered our teams to reduce manual efforts, improve data accuracy and focus on driving strategic growth.”

Centric Planning replaces disparate spreadsheets, allowing LPP’s strategic and merchandising teams to manage plans across channels and brands with real-time data accuracy. This integration has improved collaboration, reduced the risk of errors and aligned the entire organization around shared planning goals, creating a streamlined, efficient workflow.

“We are excited to partner with LPP on their journey as they enhance their planning capabilities,” says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “Our partnership with LPP underscores our commitment to delivering innovative, agile solutions that meet the unique demands of high-growth businesses. The successful go-live of Centric Planning is just the beginning and we look forward to continuing our work with LPP as they set new benchmarks in omnichannel retail.”
