“To best answer growing market demands, we need to equip ourselves with tools that are better-suited to fashion and are more modern, intuitive and flexible to speed collection development. We also need to expand our capability to develop interseason collections,” explains Stéphane Dewigne, financial director at Bellerose.
Bellerose’s style, product development and production teams will use Centric PLM to develop womenswear, menswear and childrenswear for the winter 2019 collection.
Manufacturers, suppliers and sub-contractors will also be connected to Bellerose’s sourcing and product development teams via Centric to streamline and optimise international collaboration and information sharing between partners.
“Centric PLM will allow greater collaboration between internal teams and external partners,” Dewigne adds.
