Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Eberjey.Established in 1996 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, Eberjey was founded on soft, comfortable and stylish loungewear and their signature pajamas for women. The growing company also carries lingerie and swimwear, sold through 1,200 specialty and department stores and online.
Like many companies, spreadsheets, email and disconnected programs for product development were the order of the day, with files scattered around their network. The company realized that they needed to get all product information into one central repository for accessibility and data accuracy—with that repository being PLM.
The team evaluated several PLM providers. Centric PLM’s functional and familiar interface was one of the deciding factors. Tony Schmitt, Information Technology Director at Eberjey says, “Centric PLM™ just felt like a great fit from the very beginning and the team pretty much unanimously felt that Centric was the answer.”
After a smooth implementation, Bailey Hagen, Product Development and Sustainability Manager at Eberjey, says that Centric PLM gives users an overview of the entire process. “It’s a great way to be able to learn how each of our jobs interacts with one another, how we’re all intertwined.” This has improved collaboration among teams, especially during the initial style creation stage. Hagen says, “Before, the process was a little clunky; now we can all work simultaneously and collaborate. That shortens the lead time of how long it takes us to complete tasks, to make tech packs.”
