Grupo Cortefiel supports growth with PLM technology

Madrid, Spain – Spanish apparel retailer Grupo Cortefiel is supporting growth across multiple fast-moving product categories and Springfield, Cortefiel, women’secret and Pedro el Hierro retail brands using product lifecycle management (PLM) technology from Centric Software Inc. Grupo Cortefiel will deploy the Centric PLM suite to users in its costing, design, product development and product management departments.



The retailer will embed industry best practices and data models into the core PLM solution and use the agile development implementation model, where multiple teams simultaneously develop different areas of the technology, to speed up rollout time. Users will apply Centric technology to low-value, high-error tasks, with the goal of reducing lead times and errors and improving product quality.



“The greater functionality and access that Centric 8 affords will support Grupo Cortefiel’s multi-brand growth strategy and position as one of the strongest leaders in the European fashion market,” said Enrique Martin Mendez, CIO of Grupo Cortefiel.
