JAJ Group Adopts Centric PLM for Digital Overhaul
French apparel distributor JAJ Group, licensee for Schott NYC and Rivieras, has implemented Centric PLM™ to modernize its operations, replacing outdated ERP and manual systems. The PLM rollout—completed on time and within budget—marks a major digital shift, aimed at enhancing efficiency, streamlining data processes, and preparing for future scalability. Previously reliant on spreadsheets and disconnected tools, JAJ Group selected Centric Software® for its industry-leading capabilities and proven track record in fashion PLM. The software centralizes product data, enabling JAJ to streamline collaborations with major retailers like Zalando, La Redoute, and Galeries Lafayette, and respond faster to CSR requirements under France's AGEC law. According to Sophie Azzoug, Product Director at Schott NYC, the new system eliminates redundancies and boosts planning efficiency. Already in use for Schott's 2026 collection, the platform will later be integrated with a future ERP system and traceability tools like Fairly Made®, supporting both operational agility and sustainability tracking. Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software, emphasized that the successful deployment highlights how Centric tailors solutions to each brand's unique needs while enabling them to scale and stay competitive in today's evolving textile industry.
