Tristate Holdings, an international fashion manufacturer, announces a successful product lifecycle management (PLM) and catalog/order entry implementation in four months at its CP Company Division based on Centric 8 Platform.
A vertically integrated company with 8 factories, 4 brands and more than 10,000 employees in 12 countries, Tristate Holdings is pushing to develop synergies between their historical manufacturing expertise and core branding processes like design, marketing and distribution. In 2015, they acquired C.P. Company, an Italian luxury sportswear brand. With this acquisition, they decided to put a new infrastructure in place to help cement their business transformation and the further development of this brand.
“We chose Centric 8 PLM because of the flexibility and scalability of the system. As an international, multi-brand and multi-environment company, we needed to build a common foundation for our group business applications. Centric is the right tool to streamline our product development and order entry processes and meet this global strategic initiative,” explains Andrea Marco Borsetti, Tristate International CIO.
The initial deployment at C.P. Company involved several aspects of Centric 8 PLM; materials management, product sourcing, catalog and order entry management. C.P. Company current Spring/Summer 2017 Collection was entirely designed and now is starting to be sold leveraging Centric 8 solutions. C.P. Company sales force can now present product catalogs and take orders on the go; at fashion shows, showrooms or anywhere else they like using Centric Collection Book App by their mobile devices (Centric catalog and order entry mobile application). Both the product catalog and orders are directly linked to their Centric PLM system, so any changes to product details, prices or product availability are automatically updated.
“We are delighted with Tristate Holdings’ success. It is a confirmation of our commitment to Tristate Holdings and to the market,” explains Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric. “We work hard to create PLM solutions that are intuitive, efficient and easy to use, and we are thrilled that we are helping Tristate Holdings meet their strategic goals.”
