Iconic apparel company seeks to streamline
workflows by connecting systems and teams with Centric
PLM™ including 3D Enablement and Centric's Visual
Planning Board
CAMPBELL, Calif., April 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lands' End, the classic American
lifestyle brand and multi-channel retailer, has selected Centric
Software®'s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution
including 3D Enablement and Centric's Visual Planning Board for
product assortment optimization. Centric Software provides the most
innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source
and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods,
furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to
achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Lands' End is looking forward to end-to-end
transparency, providing a higher degree of efficiency in developing
product.
Lands' End was founded in 1963 as a retailer of sailing
equipment before evolving its focus to apparel and accessories for
men, women, children, and the home. In 1978 the company began
migrating to Dodgeville, Wisconsin
where the headquarters still remain. Lands' End has become
synonymous with legendary quality and honest value.
Lands' End is looking to improve its end-to-end business
processes across the enterprise, with the goal of improving
transparency, communication, integration and the elimination of
manually re-entering data into disparate systems.
Having monitored tech development in the market over the past
several years, Lands' End launched a search for a new PLM solution,
going through an extensive selection process. Lands' End sought a
partner and a solution that would align system with business
strategy goals, leverage industry best practices, eliminate
customizations, and islands of information with the ability to
easily upgrade, taking advantage of potential future
developments.
Ultimately, it was Centric PLM that fulfilled their
requirements. Chieh Tsai, Chief
Product Officer of Lands' End, stated, "Centric was the clear
choice for all selection process participants, from both a process
and a functional coverage aspect. We were also convinced by their
innovations in the area of 3D enablement and the Visual Planning
Board, which go well beyond traditional PLM solutions. Rounding out
our decision for Centric were their references and reputation in
the industry, as well as the experience of their consulting
team."
The company has high expectations for their new suite of Centric
solutions, Tsai says, "We anticipate seamless integration between
PLM and connecting systems, automated and consistent data flows,
standardized cross-team processes, clear communication and fully
enabled process and system functionality across business
models."
Lands' End is looking forward to end-to-end transparency,
providing a higher degree of efficiency in developing product,
connecting 3D across system platforms to gain workflow productivity
and thus continuing to reduce physical sampling and waste.
With one source for all product development data, everyone will
have access to the latest information, invigorating collaboration
across departments. Adds Tsai, "Centric PLM will also support the
pursuit of our sustainability goals."
President and CEO of Centric Software, Chris Groves, says, "We are delighted that
Lands' End, an iconic American company, has placed their trust in
Centric. Our suite of solutions work in concert to deliver one
unified experience for users, boosting efficiency and
future-proofing against further market disruptions while driving
growth."
