This October Centric brings its popular—and free!—PLM software seminars for the apparel industry to fashion’s “big four:” London, Paris, New York and Milan.
The events highlight how Centric 8 delivers the benefits of PLM software throughout the enterprise, bringing a “single version of truth” about the product to collection managers, merchandising, marketing and sales teams. The results? Greater accuracy, a more satisfied customer, and stronger sales.
For executives, PLM ensures teams are armed with the tools needed to maximize revenue. Merchandising can better allocate and manage collections from trend to production. PLM enables marketing to gather up-to-date, accurate product information to create unlimited catalogs. For sales, PLM instantly captures orders from a mobile or web-based catalog whether or not the representative has an internet connection.
