Paul & Shark, the luxury sportswear brand, has selected Centric Software to provide its product lifecycle management (PLM) software.
The company, known for combining technical fabrics with elegant and stylish details, will use Centric 8 PLM to help manage growth and international expansion, according to Andrea Dini, owner and CEO of Paul & Shark.
Centric 8 PLM for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods companies will replace a custom product data management (PDM) system at Paul & Shark. “The advantages of PLM, and specifically, Centric PLM, are significant when it comes to speed, efficiency and full visibility across all areas of product development,” says Dini. “For Paul & Shark, moving to Centric was a clear choice.”
Centric’s innovative PLM targets key areas for Paul & Shark, adds Dini. “The Sample Review Mobile App, in particular, will help Paul & Shark maintain and enhance excellence in product quality and with the manufacture of materials.” The Centric 8 Sample Review Mobile App is an easy-to-use tool that allows users to quickly view and edit sample and style data on any iOS-enabled mobile device. The app results in better communication with suppliers, faster and more accurate sample development, and a more rapid product development schedule.
“Centric 8 PLM is ideal for Paul & Shark, an Italian brand that is synonymous with elegance and high-performance materials,” says Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric. “Centric 8 will give Paul & Shark the ability to maintain laser focus on quality throughout the design and development process while expanding to meet increasing international opportunities."
