Centric Software announces that Orchestra has selected product lifecycle management (PLM) from Centric Software.
In 1995, Pierre and Chantal Mestre founded Orchestra on the idea of building a children’s clothing brand with a unique retail concept. Orchestra now has 700 stores in 40 countries worldwide and counts a turnover of €562 million per year.
To keep pace with business growth, Orchestra recently embarked on a global overhaul of its information systems, including an ERP implementation. Questions about the product development process also arose.
“We decided to look for a PLM specialist as this was the best approach for us and our IT strategy,” says Virginie Llorca, Director of Orchestra’s Supply Chain, Methods and Organization. “We wanted to do more than consolidate systems; we need a foundation to sustain our immediate, ongoing growth, but we also required a solution that is resilient and flexible enough to change along with our goals.”
Following an exhaustive search, Centric Software was.
“Centric understood our needs and our relationship has been excellent, from first contact to implementation” adds Llorca.
“Our goal is to harmonize our processes including design, but in a way that leaves a lot of flexibility as to not hamper creativity. The configurability of Centric PLM user experience was a huge factor in our decision making,” Llorca explains.
In addition to optimizing its own processes, Orchestra will also use Centric to streamline collaboration throughout its extended supply chain including internal departments, suppliers and purchasing offices.
