Centric Software Signs First Customer in China -- Cache Cache China begins immediate implementation of PLM software

Cache Cache China has selected Centric Software, Inc., for its product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, making it Centric’s first customer in China.

Cache Cache China, which offers modern, fashionable women’s ready-to-wear apparel, footwear and accessories, will implement the Centric 8 PLM software for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods for all of its product lines. The company will use Centric’s PLM software to develop its collections for the more than 900 stores it operates in China. Deployment will begin immediately.

“The innovative Centric PLM software is an excellent solution for Cache Cache China,” says Sandrine Woirnesson, vice president of finance, IT and corporate governance for Cache Cache China. “The software’s scalability, along with the fact that it is designed for the specific needs of the apparel industry, will allow Cache Cache China to continue its fast-growth strategy.”

Expected benefits include enhanced collaboration throughout product development teams, and improved visibility for better go/no-go product decision-making, according to Woirnesson. “The Centric 8 solution will accelerate efficiency and speed to market for the Cache Cache China collections.”

“Cache Cache China is an innovative, fast-growing organization with which Centric can partner well,” says Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric. The company will rapidly begin to reap benefits from Centric’s out-of-the box, configurable solution and Agile DeploymentSM methodology, he adds. “Our partnership with Cache Cache China and expansion into the Chinese market are exciting steps for Centric’s growing worldwide presence.”
