Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, BBC International.
BBC International, the full-service footwear company founded in 1975 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, specializes in footwear design, sourcing and technology. Known early on for licensing characters for footwear, lights on shoes and revamping Heelys (wheeled shoes), today BBC licenses footwear for major international brands, plus private label. The company has global distribution in over 85 countries.
With the large number of brands BBC works with, and just as many separate processes for each, the company was looking to consolidate workflows and systems to simplify product development. Scott Godwin, Senior Development Manager says, “We’re looking to streamline everything we’ve got.” BBC had an advantage in determining which PLM vendors to consider: they were able to consult their numerous footwear partners and customers. Centric PLM™ landed at the top of the list. Says Goodwin, “We really want to capitalize on some of the best practices that Centric brings to the table.”
Today, BBC has laid their digital foundation to get the right products to market faster, at the right price, to aid in sustainability and still have the latitude for creativity, all powered by Centric PLM.
