Olivier Paul, Group Buying Director, Tape À l’Oeil said, “Normally, it takes us between four to five months to make a product, but with Centric, we expect to reduce cycle times by 25 per cent, giving our designers and product managers the opportunity to better anticipate trends and adapt.”
The company also aims to use Centric’s other innovative technologies as well – particularly its integrated mobile applications – to support the relocation of key activities like quality assurance closer to suppliers’ production sites in order to reduce the average number of samples per style from three to one, and mitigate the environmental impact of international logistics.
Commenting on the association, Centric Software’s CEO, Chris Groves said, “We are excited to work with Tape À l’Oeil which has such a strong customer base. They are committed to capturing the essence of youth in their products, and the Centric team is dedicated to provide technologies that will help drive their optimistic spirit.”
