Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Leder & Schuh Group. Established in 1872 and headquartered in Austria, Leder & Schuh Group (LSAG) began as a manufacturer in central Europe, becoming an established retail market leader in Austria today. The company owns the brands HUMANIC and Shoe4You, carrying a wide selection of international footwear brands for women, men and children in the mid-to-upper price range as well as bags and accessories. To manage their pricing and markdowns, it was taking five people 5 days to complete the task, and with 12,000 SKUs, some of countries were just lumped together with others since they didn’t have the staff to work on each geographic region individually. They knew that this was not optimal and that there had to be a better way. LSAG set out to evaluate pricing systems. They reached out to other retailers to see what

Through a collaboration between Bricsys® and Flanders Make, a 'design for assembly inspection tool' has been developed that makes it possible to test a product's suitability for production as early as the design phase. Traditionally, engineers tested a product's suitability for production during the initial prototype phase, when they first physically assembled the product. This stage often resulted in the creation of several costly and time-consuming prototypes. Now, Bricsys sets a precedent by fully integrating the Assembly Inspect Tool into their BricsCAD® Mechanical software. The Assembly Inspect Tool provides an in-depth evaluation of assembly capabilities not previously available in Mechanical CAD packages. This tool makes the "Aided" in Computer-Aided Design a reality: it supports the product design engineer in the design process, avoiding costly assembly design errors that often only come to light in the prototype phase. Accessible for companies of all sizes The Assembly Inspect Tool also enables small to medium-sized companies in the manufacturing industry to
