Scarlett Gasque Selects Centric PLM to Power Product Expansion and Digital Growth
CAMPBELL, Calif., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software® is pleased to announce that Scarlett Gasque has selected Centric PLM™ to drive business growth and product expansion. 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. Headquartered in New York City, Scarlett Gasque is a luxury lingerie and corsetry brand which celebrates elegance, femininity, and sensuality. Founded by Chloé Rogers in 2022, the brand was born out of her passion for creating collections that empower women to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. As Scarlett Gasque plans a move into ready-to-wear apparel, Head of Finance and Operations Noah Roswig identified the need for a digital solution that could scale with the brand's evolving product strategy. Having implemented Centric PLM at a previous company, Roswig was confident in the platform's ability to meet both immediate operational needs and long-term growth goals. The brand's teams were relying on disconnected tools to track product information, which limited visibility, slowed collaboration and introduced inefficiencies across the development process. Roswig explained, "We were desperate, and rightfully so, for a system to capture all the product information, keep all those details organized and attribute the data with connections to suppliers, trends, fabric mills, etc." He went on to describe that this product insight allowed their team to collate the data and "track strategically with the development of this much expanded product line." "When evaluating the market, it quickly became clear that Centric PLM was the right choice," says Roswig. "It gives us the structure and visibility needed in the early stages of growth, while offering the scalability and advanced functionality to support a more complex and diverse product assortment as we expand." "It's an increasingly complex global landscape in terms of product sourcing, manufacturing and shipping. Centric PLM gives us the ability to handle that complexity much better, especially with a small team," said Roswig. He knew from his last Centric PLM implementation experience, that "there was going to be an affordable option." Additionally, Scarlett Gasque is implementing an ERP alongside Centric PLM and using this integration as their source of truth for their current and growing product assortment. For brands considering a PLM solution, Roswig offered "Centric PLM is a gamechanger in terms of regulating what product looks like in the system and how you filter and control the variables of that product, how you categorize it and ultimately, how to tie it back to your financials." "If you're at a company that sells a physical product, that tool by which you control and organize that same physical product is fundamental to how your whole tech stack operates," Roswig said. "That's not true of other verticals and other industries… but in fashion and in higher price points in luxury, it's critical. There's nothing more important than product." Heading into his second Centric PLM implementation, Roswig shared, "We're still in the early stages, but the immediate win is having our product data organized in a dynamic, centralized system. In a fast-moving environment where we're creating new products almost daily—exploring new categories, prototypes and options—it's essential to have a solution that structures all that evolving information, including supplier details, in one place." Once fully implemented, Scarlett Gasque expects to manage a large quantity of SKUs through Centric PLM for its Fall/Winter 2025 collection. President of Centric Software, Fabrice Canonge says, "We're pleased that Scarlett Gasque, a luxury lingerie and corsetry brand, has chosen Centric PLM as their digital foundation. With Centric PLM, they will streamline product development, navigate increasing complexity and accelerate the launch of sophisticated, design-driven collections."

Teddy Group Selects Centric Market Intelligence to Power Market Expansion with Competitor Benchmarking and Data-Driven Decision-Making
Italian fashion retail leader boosts localization of retail and e-commerce strategy with AI-powered competitive pricing and trend insights CAMPBELL, Calif., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software® is pleased to announce that Teddy Group has selected Centric Market Intelligence™ to underpin data-driven decisions across product planning and competitive pricing to boost its market positioning for flagship brand, Terranova. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home and related goods like cosmetics & personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals. Founded in 1961, Teddy S.p.A Group has grown from a small local store in Rimini, Italy, into a global fashion retail powerhouse. Terranova, launched in 1988, represents one of the group's flagship brands with over 500 stores in 37 markets, offering contemporary fashion for men, women and children. Today, the brand operates through multiple channels, including retail stores, 13 direct e-commerce markets and a growing marketplace presence. The integration of Centric Market Intelligence to Terranova's pricing and planning processes, will empower the brand to define more precise starting prices and markdown strategies per market and per channel. "One of the most valuable insights we expect from Centric is understanding product velocity—what sells out first and why. This will guide our pricing, assortment and replenishment strategies, making our e-commerce and marketplace approach more efficient and competitive." The implementation of Centric Market Intelligence comes at a pivotal time for the Teddy Group's digital transformation and marketplace expansion. With aims to consolidate its presence in local markets with a structured marketplace and logistics expansion plan, the Teddy Group sought a solution to the lack of real-time market insights and manual approach taken to forecasting and analysis across the product development, pricing and marketing processes. "We needed a better understanding of how to approach each different market with a different strategy," says Filippo Cisterni, eCommerce Manager at the Teddy Group. "At Teddy Group, we are driven by data in every single team - it is key for us in every aspect of our strategy. With Centric Market Intelligence, we will now have real-time insights on competitors and market trends." To maximize their market impact, Terranova requires in-depth, real-time insights to benchmark competitor assortments and pricing strategies across each marketplace to optimize the brand's relevancy and market penetration. This visibility will guide Terranova's decisions about how to localize their product offering with competitive initial price points and markdown strategies for each market. Prior to Centric Market Intelligence, competitor analysis was done manually via spreadsheets or through one-time reports from third-party vendors, which lacked live updates and historical trend visibility. "[Previously], our marketplace manager would spend up to 8 hours per channel manually selecting product listings for each marketplace, cross-referencing data in spreadsheets to determine the best assortment and pricing strategy every season," explains Cisterni, "With Centric Market Intelligence, we will be able to quickly compare seasonal trends and pricing strategies, helping us make smarter buying and pricing decisions." While initial implementation focuses on the Terranova brand, successful adoption will lead to expansion across other Teddy Group brands in the near future. "One of the key points in evaluating Centric over other solutions was the ease of comparison. It will give us clear, actionable insights into how the market is evolving season by season and how our competitors apply their strategies. Other tools we used in the past provided trend insights, but they lacked the depth of analysis we needed—Centric will allow us to make data-driven decisions with a level of precision we didn't have before," concludes Cisterni. "Retailers today need rapid access to market intelligence to make strategic decisions and stay competitive. Teddy Group's data-driven partnership with Centric Market Intelligence delivers a competitive advantage that is necessary for retail expansion. Manual processes are being transformed into actionable insights across pricing optimization, merchandising decisions and marketplace growth across multiple regions," says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software.
