CAMPBELL, Calif., September 10, 2019 – MAXRIENY, the Chinese ladies fashion brand, has selected Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury and consumer goods companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
MAXRIENY is a Shenzhen CloudCreator Fashion Design Co., Ltd. (CC Universe) brand, co-founded by husband-and-wife team Kevin and Sara Wong. The brand had specific target segments in mind right from the start – fans of medieval castle themes and fantasy elements. In just 5 years, the brand recorded sales of approximately $1 billion USD in the already saturated domestic market for ladies apparel.
MAXRIENY’s early success was driven by CC Universe’s emphasis on enterprise digitalization, but a comprehensive digital platform was necessary to guarantee future growth.
“After launching a Business Intelligence (BI) reporting system last year for product development, we found that the basic data within the database was still not perfect, and many reports still needed to be created manually, so there was a gap between our original expectations of the BI system and what this system could actually do,” explains Kevin Wong, Founder & CEO at CC Universe. “We realized that our high-tech fashion enterprise had to be built on a strong foundation of digitalization.”
“An intelligent and fully digitalized fashion company would not take shape without complete product data that includes information from R&D and design stages, as well as production and sales. Achieving our goal of digital transformation for our company required a professional technology service provider and a consultant team.”
Realizing that they needed to invest in a fashion and apparel PLM solution, CC Universe approached Centric Software.
“Like CC Universe, Centric highly values innovation and this common ground gave us great confidence in our partnership,” says Kevin Wong. “The Centric fashion PLM project helps CC Universe build core systems by establishing standardized business processes, complete data management systems, and effective collaboration among supply chains to greatly improve the efficiency of our team.”
Sara Wong, Founder and Chief Designer of MAXRIENY, adds, “We are both participating fully in the fashion PLM project to ensure that it is implemented smoothly, and believe that our team and the Centric team will work well together.”
“We are delighted to announce that CC Universe chose Centric PLM for their MAXRIENY brand,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. “MAXRIENY is an original brand that is experiencing impressive growth in a crowded market, and we look forward to partnering with them to set a digital foundation for continued success now and into the future.”
