Riachuelo, one of the biggest retail chains in Brazil, has opted for Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution to streamline its operations with improved flexibility and collaboration.
The retailer had invested in PLM solution few years back, but it had failed to live up to their expectations owing to its lack of flexibility and support.
Riachuelo was, therefore, looking for a new tool that would provide increased visibility, speed and collaboration thereby reducing cost and time to market.
Centric PLM seems to be the answer for the retailer.
Elaborating further, Flávia Martino, Trend Research, Product Design and Product Development Project Manager, Lojas Riachuelo commented “We knew the right PLM solution would help us improve control, agility and cross-area collaboration. We wanted more reliable information with fewer errors, reduced rework and costs and a way to eliminate manual and decentralised processes.”
Centric PLM does provide improved flexibility and can deliver real integration between manufacturing and retail.
Martino added “Centric’s apps bring the mobility and speed we need to develop collections, quickly. With Centric PLM in place, we expect decreased time to market, reduced time to sample creation, process standardisation, productivity gains, better product data governance and cost savings.”
Pleased at opting Centric PLM, Chris Groves, President and CEO, Centric said “We are delighted to announce that Riachuelo has chosen Centric as a PLM partner. Riachuelo is investing in the future by giving teams a digital platform to boost communication, speed and efficiency, and we are looking forward to seeing their results with Centric PLM.”
