Founded in May 2024, GLDN by Görtz is more than just a fashion brand: innovative, versatile and inspiring, it celebrates individual style with thoughtfully designed women’s capsule collections based on a mix-and-match concept. From sneakers and ballerina pumps to sandals and high heels, GLDN empowers customers to create effortless day-to-night looks, starting with the perfect pair of shoes. Available in around 16 stores, GLDN is already making its mark in the premium fashion space, with a 360-degree shopping experience that combines style and convenience. With plans to launch its online store in 2025, GLDN by Görtz is poised to become a go-to destination for modern, versatile fashion.
Always striving for innovation and efficiency, GLDN by Görtz recognized the need for a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution to simplify complex processes and enhance data management—planning to reduce administrative tasks and ensure a scalable, future-ready foundation for growth.
“We implemented Centric PLM at a former company I worked for and were so impressed by the time savings it delivered that we immediately decided to adopt it at GLDN,” says Sandra Eckhardt, Head of Technical Design & Supply Chain Management at GLDN by Görtz.
GLDN selected Centric SMB, the cloud-based PLM solution for small and mid-sized businesses, for its user-friendly, easy-to-adopt interface, impressive configurability and end-to-end supply chain visibility.
“Centric PLM offers teams across the company a detailed overview of product development processes and the possibility for super users to simply add new fields or content in the system is a game changer,” shares Eckhardt. “It also enables us to monitor compliance with evolving regulations, including The German Supply Chain Act, which demands higher levels of transparency, ethical sourcing and sustainability across our supply chain.”
GLDN by Görtz plans to centralize all product related data in PLM and anticipates significant cost and time savings. In the future it will integrate Centric PLM with its ERP system to further advance its digitalization strategy and may also onboard its suppliers in a future phase.
“Our experience with the Centric Software team has been supportive and positive,” concludes Eckhardt. “Communication has been excellent; the team ensured the introduction to the system was smooth and they competently addressed any challenges that arose.”
“We are thrilled to partner with GLDN by Görtz on its evolution from a traditional premium footwear brand to a 360-degree lifestyle company,” says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “We look forward to its successful implementation that delivers on its promise to save valuable time, boost profitability and streamline product development.”
