Centric PLM

Start building products the way you run a project: define targets, assign owners, and let the system keep the clock. Open Centric PLM on your laptop or phone, create a program (season, collection, line), and spin up templates so every team begins with the same structure. Add platform foundations for carryover items, then attach a calendar that sets milestones, dependencies, and alerts. The timeline view highlights bottlenecks so you can reassign tasks, move dates, and cut steps that don’t add value. Work in your preferred language and keep everyone aligned—from design to sourcing—without chasing updates across email threads.

Centralize product data before you sketch the next idea. Drag CAD files, tech packs, instructions, and part specs into a single record; versioning and comparison show what changed and why. Manage electrical drawings with tracked validations and approvals, then build a live bill of materials that rolls up components, alternates, and costs by supplier. Use rules to auto-generate size runs or colorways, and preview changes on real products with the built-in AR tool to catch issues early. When feedback lands, push a coordinated change request that updates related items, routes to stakeholders, and logs every decision in the audit history.

Bake quality and compliance into daily work. Set test plans per product or component, schedule labs, and capture results at each stage. Compare rounds side by side, flag failures, and link corrective actions to the exact part or supplier responsible. Nonconformance flows assign owners and due dates, while approvals lock specs before production. Publish shipping, certification, and regulatory packets automatically, ensuring the right version goes to the right partner. Share securely with vendors and factories, limiting access to what they need to see.

Make faster calls with clear numbers. Run cost scenarios on the BOM to see margins by supplier and region, and explore greener substitutions without losing sight of availability, lead time, or compliance. Generate PDF reports for executives or buyers with one click—portfolio health, on-time delivery, and risk summaries update from live data. In the field, merchandisers snap photos, add notes, and sync feedback to product records in seconds. Whether you build apparel, outdoor gear, home furnishings, consumer goods, or beauty items, connect Centric PLM to CAD and ERP to create a smooth new product introduction flow from idea to launch, no spreadsheets required.
