Centric Software announces that the French group Cofel, a market leader in mattress and bedding production, has announced a successful Centric PLM implementation. Centric is the leading PLM solution for fashion, retail, luxury and consumer goods companies.
The Cofel Group, whose key brands are Bultex, Epéda and Mérinos, produces more than 1 million mattresses and 400,000 boxsprings each year at its five production sites in France. The Group’s mission is to offer the best bedding with a focus on quality, innovation and safety.
In its 2015 strategic plan, Cofel identified the need to better equip its product development team. As Marion Deridder, marketing director explains, "We were looking for a PLM solution to better optimize our product range and ensure cost effectiveness. Our choice gravitated towards Centric because they are the global market leader in PLM solutions."
Only six months after the project kicked off, marketing, sales, finance, operations and development teams are already using the Centric 8 PLM suite.
"Centric 8 PLM allows us to streamline exchanges by grouping together information and documents in a single tool, accessible by all departments concerned," elaborates Deridder.
The implementation of Centric 8 PLM is an extension of the best practices applied at Cofel and part of the new commercial strategy of the Group. "Thanks to Centric 8 PLM, we are more rigorous with product development and production, and are optimizing lead times and quality."
"Centric is also allowing us to standardize practices between our five production sites and is providing quick visibility into different product development via dashboards," continues Derrider.
"We are delighted with the success of Cofel’s Centric 8 project, which is a confirmation of our commitment to Cofel and to the market. We are excited to help this growth-oriented business with the next stage in its strategy," says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric.
