Western boot company partners with Centric Software to
streamline collaboration and enhance transparency
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software® is pleased to announce that
iconic western boot brand Dan Post Boot Company has selected
Centric PLMTM to optimize product data management, efficiency and
transparency. Centric Software provides the most innovative
enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make,
price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion,
outdoor, luxury, multi-category retail, grocery, food &
beverage, cosmetics & personal care and consumer electronics to
achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Founded in the 1960s, Dan Post boots are synonymous with
superior fit and fashion-forward design. Their handcrafted method
starts with the finest exotic skins and premium leathers handled by
the finest designers in the world. The company produces
approximately 150 new styles each year through their two brands:
Dan Post and Laredo.
With an increasing amount of sampling, sourcing, materials and
design data to juggle, they turned to an 'all-in-one' ERP and PLM
solution in 2016. However, they ran into limitations and began to
re-evaluate their PLM decision. Having had a positive experience
with Centric Software over a decade earlier, they chose to go back
to Centric PLM.
"Our old PLM solution was not web-based. We couldn't access it
from anywhere, it was slow and users would get bogged down,"
explains Stephanie Greenfield,
Director of Product Development at Dan Post. "User adoption was low
and we went back to a more antiquated way of doing things using
shared documents."
Dan Post considered several options, but selected Centric PLM
based on past experience, user-friendliness and ability to scale
with the business.
"We needed to get back to a PLM that we knew would work, and
that designers would like to use," Greenfield says. "Because PLM is
a primary focus for Centric, we can rely on future innovation and
updates to the solution."
Dan Post has just begun implementing Centric PLM, and the team
is anticipating changes, says Greenfield.
"One of the great things about Centric is that we can easily
update it when we're on the go. Because we will have all the
information in one central place we will be able to generate line
sheets very quickly. Our production and sourcing teams will be able
to track material usage and hold factories accountable for the time
period it takes to get samples made. There are many exciting
possibilities for leveraging data to make future decisions, once we
get it all into one system."
"Working with the Centric team is great," she concludes. "The
follow-through has been awesome and they are very, very
thorough."
"We are delighted to welcome Dan Post as a returning customer,"
says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric
Software. "Dan Post is known for attention to detail and commitment
to quality, and we are equally dedicated to making sure that their
PLM implementation is a perfect fit. We look forward to working
with Dan Post as they streamline and scale their business."
