Kindy Strengthens Innovation Strategy

Kindy SA, the French manufacturer and distributor of socks and children’s shoes, has selected Centric Software, Inc. to provide its product lifecycle management (PLM) system.

 

“Centric’s strong apparel-industry expertise and experience were key elements in our choice,” says Nathalie Seguinot, Kindy’s CIO. “We were looking for a solution that would help us improve process productivity and reliability, and that would facilitate communication within internal and external functions as well as with suppliers,” she continues. “We expect the implementation of Centric 8 will also contribute to shortening new-product launch lead times, a critical part of the very competitive sock business.”

 

The company has purchased Centric 8’s Line Planning, Product Specification, Materials Management, Sourcing and Calendar Management modules. Kindy will use the Centric 8 PLM suite to accelerate new product introduction and increase the efficiency of product development.
