Centric provides product lifecycle management (PLM) software for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods companies. vrMockshop, developed by iShopShape, a Centric partner, is a virtual reality tool that helps brands and retailers build fully merchandised, interactive 3-D virtual stores of any size, and instantly generate planograms. vrMockshop integrates quickly and easily with the Centric 8 PLM system for retail, apparel, footwear, luxury and consumer goods companies.

Speedo will use the vrMockshop software to maximize range planning and understanding of retail space, through 3-D mockups and store planograms.
