Centric Software® is pleased to announce that premium scrubs brand Jaanuu has reported impressive results with Centric PLM™ and is releasing a success story to celebrate. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, outdoor, luxury, multi-category retail, grocery, food & beverage, cosmetics & personal care and consumer electronics to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Co-founded in 2013 by Dr. Neela Sethi Young, a pediatrician and her brother Shaan Sethi, Jaanuu sells premium scrubs, scrub jackets and underscrubs for medical professionals. Jaanuu is based in California and primarily retails direct-to-consumer through their e-commerce site to the North American market. Jaanuu expanded into wholesale sales in 2023, and also has a B2B business.
Jaanuu has grown rapidly, and the brand needed to digitalize and centralize their product design and development processes in order to continue evolving.
“When new team members came on board in 2022, it really was the land of Excel, and it wasn’t manageable,” says Stephanie Jane Scott, SVP Creative Director at Jaanuu. “It was difficult for us to know the history of Jaanuu when everything was in folders and shared drives. We needed a centralized location for data.”
Since implementing Centric PLM in 2022, Jaanuu has developed a central platform for product data and communication, streamlined tech pack creation, reduced spreadsheets by over 40% and built accountability and traceability into the product development and design process.
“In terms of communicating cross-functionally and externally, it’s a vast improvement from where we used to be. Having a centralized location for all product-related information means that tasks such as updating sketches and creating data sheets are much more efficient now. Creating and sending out tech packs is streamlined and centralized. We save about 50% of the time we usually spend creating BOMs, since we carry forward and reuse templates instead of starting from scratch for each style.”
“It has definitely helped us with accountability and knowing where things are, who owns what and what stage it is at. That makes the business much more secure, as we are able to see what needs to be done instantly and information is not lost as the team evolves over time, for instance.”
With plans to integrate Centric PLM with their ERP and e-commerce solutions in the future, Jaanuu is saving time, tracking data more effectively and building a foundation to ramp up omnichannel sales while maintaining their position as a disruptive, style-conscious, high-quality scrubs brand.
“We are very pleased that Jaanuu is experiencing such great results with Centric PLM,” says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “Jaanuu is an exciting and innovative brand in the medical apparel space, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration in the years to come.”
