Le Coq Sportif Manages Product Lifecycles

Le Coq Sportif purchases the Centric Software application suite for apparel to manage the design, development and introduction of its footwear and apparel collections. Centric's application suite was chosen for its PLM software that integrates line planning and product sourcing along with traditional product specification functionality. The Centric application suite for apparel consists of three web-based applications designed to improve overall season profitability and speed time-to-market by providing immediate visibility into costs, forecasts, orders, calendars, suppliers and product specifications. The three applications manage technical product specifications (Centric Product Specification), supplier performance and sourced product management (Centric Product Sourcing), and calendar and line planning (Centric Decision Center).
