Centric Software Unveils AI-Powered Product Concept-to-Commercialization Integrated Platform at NRF Asia

Centric Software® is pleased to announce that, for the second year in a row, it will be showcasing its latest innovations at NRF 2025: Retail’s Big Show Asia Pacific, June 3 – 5 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, food & beverage and cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Centric Software’s flagship product lifecycle management platform, Centric PLM™ integrates with Centric Planning™, Centric Pricing & Inventory™, Centric Market Intelligence™, Centric Visual Boards™ and Centric PXM™. All Centric Software AI-infused solutions target the unique challenges faced by the retail sector to deliver comprehensive, data-driven decision-making.

 Across Asia, retail is undergoing seismic shifts. Tariffs, fluctuating costs, global conflict and tightening regulations are reshaping sourcing strategies, merchandising, compliance and profitability. At the same time, ever-evolving consumer expectations and a surge in sustainability requirements are forcing companies to rethink traditional, siloed processes. Outdated tools can’t keep pace. Brands need real-time data to balance global products and economies of scale with local assortments appealing to consumers and drive competitivity. In today’s climate of complexity and chaos, speed and smart decision-making are the new competitive edge.
