Specialty retailer Mud Pie, headquartered in Atlanta, has selected Centric PLM solution. From its headquarters in Silicon Valley and offices in trend capitals around the world, Centric Software is well-known to provide a digital transformation platform for the most prestigious names in fashion, retail, footwear, luxury, outdoor, and consumer goods.

Mud Pie faced challenges associated with the growth of the business and reached a point where it became obvious that the company needed a PLM solution to support its design, product development, and production processes.

Katherine Bennie, senior home merchandiser at Mud Pie said, “We were working in an outdated database system and using email and Excel to communicate with overseas vendors. As we continued to grow, we had difficulties keeping track of the product lifecycle in one place. We realised that we regularly wasted a lot of time searching through emails for one little detail from months ago that we needed to make an important decision.”

“Previously we weren’t even able to bring laptops to meetings since our database couldn’t be used on wifi. Now, merchandisers bring laptops and we do the actions we are talking about right there in the meeting rather than going back to our desks with a five-page to-do list. Designers can approve samples while we’re discussing them which means that everyone can work more effectively. The time we save allows us to focus on activities that help us grow,” he added. (GK)
