In particular, it wanted a PLM platform capable of managing all product-related functions in order to standardise operating procedures across the board.

“We wanted a solution with an architecture that allows us to manage our data flow quickly and supports a large number of users around the world to facilitate better international collaboration between retail and product teams,” says Bruno Toulout, IT manager at Siplec.

It selected Centric Software PLM “because it is simple to deploy and because of Centric’s Skyline architecture, which allows access to a massive amount of data and analysis of assumptions in real time. After implementing this solution, we anticipate concrete improvements in terms of productivity and shortening deadlines in order to reach our goal of excellence,” Toulout adds.
