MAC Finds Right Fit in Centric Fashion PLM

MAC, the German trousers specialist, has selected Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded in 1973 Wald/Rossbach near Regensburg, Germany, MAC’s aim is to offer the perfect pair of trousers that are on-trend, high-quality and good value. MAC is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of both men’s and women’s trousers, selling more than 6 million pairs of trousers every year.

MAC decided to implement a PLM solution to make product development processes faster and more secure in the face of increasing business complexity.

“Our goal is to migrate from Excel-driven product development to a database-oriented approach with a single source of truth at our fingertips,” says Eveline Schoenleber, Managing Director at MAC. “We want to establish a product development workflow for the complete process, including the planning, execution and quality management of our trousers collections.”

After an in-depth selection process, Centric’s market-driven strategy and the team’s flexibility were deciding factors in MAC’s decision to move forward with Centric Fashion PLM; the solution most closely fit their requirements and goals.

“Centric is a modern, easy-to-use system with an innovative range of modules to cover the complete end-to-end process,” explains Eveline Schoenleber. “Their coaching approach to project implementation methodology is another important differentiator for us.”

MAC expects to build a digital foundation with Centric Fashion PLM that will drive improvements across every part of the organization, says Eveline Schoenleber.

“We expect to increase the transparency and flexibility of our product development process and Centric Fashion PLM will serve as the key basis for our quality department to ensure the highest quality standard of MAC products. Centric Fashion PLM will also be the foundation for future digitalization projects.”

“After a rigorous selection process, we are very confident in Centric’s approach and know that their PLM solution is the right fit for us,” concludes Eveline Schoenleber.

“We would like to welcome MAC, our latest fashion customer in Europe,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. “We’re looking forward to working closely with MAC to ensure they achieve their PLM digital transformation goals and continue to deliver high-quality apparel with greater efficiency.”
