CAMPBELL, Calif., Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- P.E Nation, Australian athleisure brand, has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
P.E Nation was established in Sydney by Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning. Since its launch in 2016, the brand's range of street-meets-sportswear has expanded to include technical activewear, retro-inspired streetwear, functional snow gear, footwear and accessories.
The brand's rapid growth put pressure on their design, development and production teams, P.E Nation concluded that PLM was the best way to ensure data integrity, and that Centric Fashion PLM offers the ideal solution.
"Centric's 'out of the box' mindset makes sense to us, and Centric PLM's visual presentation is crucial for creative thinkers," explains Mark Rogers, Operations Manager at P.E Nation. "Centric will give us a single source of the truth. We will be able to create templates to save time and reduce mistakes, track supplier communication, better manage material usage, get away from complex spreadsheets, enable designers to work in Adobe® Illustrator while connected to Centric and more."
Implementing Centric during the COVID-19 pandemic highlights its advantages, says Rogers.
"While we are unable to visit overseas vendors, Centric's supplier portal will give vendors real-time updates, reducing emails and consolidating information in one centralized location."
"We're expecting to eliminate manual data storage and retrieval across multiple platforms. Our goal with Centric PLM is to streamline design, development and production, improve team collaboration, automate costing, scale processes more easily to ultimately speed time to market," Rogers continues.
"We'd like to welcome P.E Nation on board," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "P.E Nation is growing at an impressive rate, and we are proud to provide a central digital platform that will underpin their future development."
