Trespass Goes Live with AI-Powered Centric Planning for Allocation & Replenishment

Two people in ski gear and helmets stand on a snowy slope. The person on the left, sporting a mustard jacket and reflective goggles, speaks into a radio—perhaps coordinating for Onward Kashiyama's latest digital transformation shoot. The person on the right, in a pink jacket and white helmet, listens intently.

Global outdoor brand streamlines reporting and optimizes inventory allocation across 300+ stores

CAMPBELL, Calif., December 9, 2024 – Centric Software® is pleased to announce that outdoor brand and retailer Trespass is now executing their allocation and replenishment planning with Centric Planning™. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, 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.

Trespass is one of the UK’s most successful outdoor clothing brands retailing a wide range of products from specialist performance clothing to outdoor sports equipment, selling internationally and exporting to over 60 countries.

With Centric Planning now in place, Trespass is now benefitting from AI-driven insights and smart data for better range planning, forecasting and inventory allocation, and expects to reclaim 20% of their weekly reporting time and empower faster assortment planning.

“Mondays were usually spent updating reporting in spreadsheets, so we expect to gain back one day a week, enabling our merchandisers to drill down deeper into decision-making. Instead of setting up these massive spreadsheets, it will all be there in one inclusive system, making range planning faster and freeing up time in-season,” remarks Kean Martin, Senior Merchandiser at Trespass.

“By forecasting replenishment using AI-assisted suggestions we expect to reduce markdowns and increase store sales by filtering each SKU into the right location. It’s an intuitive, straightforward, easy-to-use system,” he concludes. “Centric has been absolutely brilliant with any of the challenges we have thrown at them, and the feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone’s excited about being able to work faster and more efficiently. Centric Planning will really speed things up, and it will make us, in the long run, more accurate, more profitable as well.”

“We’re excited to announce that Trespass has successfully gone live with Centric Planning,” says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “Trespass is now leveraging AI-driven planning, merchandising and allocation to drive more profitable assortments. We’re honored to work with Trespass on their retail planning digital transformation journey, and we’re looking forward to seeing Centric Planning deliver concrete and long-term results for Trespass.”

We believe no matter where you reside in the world or what age you are, you should always be able to embrace the great outdoors.

As our success grew, we started to manufacture anoraks and waterproof jackets that shaped the future of our business.
