Swiss Brand KJUS Speeds into the Future with Centric PLM

KJUS, based in Switzerland, has selected Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution.

KJUS was founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Didi Serena and Olympic ski champion Lasse Kjus, who collaborated to produce stretch skiwear that shook up the market with new standards of comfort and functionality. KJUS is renowned for its innovative, high-performance materials and now produces award-winning ski, golf and lifestyle collections that are sold in 30 countries.

KJUS had an old PLM system but it struggled to cope with expansion into new lines and market demands.

“Innovation is in our DNA and customers constantly expect new products,” explains Simon Meier, Head of Information Management at KJUS. “Meanwhile, time to market is getting faster. We needed a solution that could maintain data integrity with a single source of truth, reduce manual work, connect to other enterprise systems and streamline workflows. The goal is to bring us closer to the end consumer without compromising on performance and quality.”

KJUS wanted the best PLM solution on the market and found an ideal match in Centric 8 PLM.

As Meier says, “Centric is the strongest and most comprehensive solution. It’s a modern, flexible system that is focused on configuration, not programming. Centric has many customers in our industry, so our processes will be supported with best practices. Like KJUS, Centric loves innovation and their system has a fresh look and feel.”

“We have a clear business strategy and Centric PLM is a foundation that will give us agile processes and system support,” concludes Meier. “Investing in digitalization is a must and Centric is a partner that can bring us to the next level. Centric holds up a mirror and asks the right questions to challenge us. It’s a great relationship that will get even stronger.”

“We would like to welcome KJUS on board,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. “We are delighted to work with a partner who shares our belief in the importance of innovation, performance and digital transformation and we are looking forward to partnering with them now and into the future.”
