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JAJ Group, licensee for Schott NYC and Rivieras, has implemented Centric PLM™ to modernize its operations, replacing outdated ERP and manual systems.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.

Port guide: Nice, France
The French Riviera has more glamorous towns, but if you want two millennia of history, a down-to-earth attitude and great art museums, this is the one to visit. Who goes there Only smaller ships dock at Nice, but that still leaves plenty of premium and luxury options with companies such as Azamara, Ponant, Scenic, Silversea, the new boutique Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and many more. Some sail itineraries that concentrate on the French and Italian Rivieras, others are on wider western Mediterranean cruises that might originate in Barcelona or Rome. Sail on in The sweeping peacock-blue Baie des Anges (the appropriately named Bay of Angels), backed by purple Provencal hills and fringed by plump beaches, creates a fine setting for this city, so get out on the deck for the arrival. A rocky outcrop, topped by a ruined castle and pine trees, is where the ancient Greeks founded the settlement in 350 BCE. Berth rites You'll dock at Quai du Commerce in Limpia port district to the east of the city. You'll find tourist information, currency exchange and (sometimes) a complimentary shuttle service into town, as well as a string of waterfront bistros and bars. Otherwise, it's a 30-minute walk around the harbour, or you can hop on a tram into the city centre. If you arrive on a big ship, you'll anchor at Villefranche-sur-Mer, from which you'll be tendered ashore. It's a 20-minute drive into Nice. Going ashore Set off around the harbour and over the little hill to the main bay and you won't be disappointed with the lovely views. Then cut into the Italianate, pastel-coloured old town, stopping first at Cours Saleya for its daily flower market except on Mondays when antiques and bric-a-brac take over. Between old and new town is fountain-splashed Place Massena flanked by pleasant gardens. Sashay onwards and you're on upmarket shopping street Rue Paradis. The long Avenue Jean Médecin leads you to department stores.
