Western Glove Works Selects PLM System
Western Glove Works, the Canadian-based manufacturer of international denim brands Silver Jeans, 1921 Jeans and Bootheel Trading Co. by Sheryl Crow apparel division has selected Centric Software Inc., to provide its product lifecycle management (PLM) system.
Western Glove Works has purchased Centric's Product Specification, Product Sourcing, Calendar Management and Line Planning modules. The company will begin immediate implementation of the Centric 8 PLM system, phasing it in across all product lines. Western Glove Works will deploy Centric 8 this year to users in sales offices in Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles and New York, design and merchandise staff in Winnipeg and Montreal, and several suppliers in Asia, according to Mark Lamont, vice president of Apparel Services.
"Centric 8 will replace our current system which is one dimensional and not effective in linking different areas of the company," says Lamont. "Whether it's a graphic, line sheet, sketch or other data point, it is critical that everyone involved in product development -- sales, design, merchandising, the entire team -- has access to the same product information. Centric 8 will solve that problem and eliminate the double and triple entry that often goes on between our group and our suppliers and slows our product cycles."
