Avante Textil selects Centric Product Lifecycle Management

LOS GATOS, Calif., April 12, 2016 – Avante Textil, the textile leader in Mexico, has selected Centric 8 PLM (product lifecycle management) to strengthen its leadership position by delivering products to market faster while maintaining competitive prices.

Founded in 1989, the Avante Textil group is vertically integrated from spinning yarns to producing fabric and creating clothing for women, men, teens, lingerie, baby and sportswear. Avante employs 13,000 people and counts approximately 300 stores across the country. Avante brands include Altesse, Optima, Tops and Bottoms, Skiny, Ava Strahl, Baby Optima, Puppy & Co and Action Gear.

Faced with fierce, international competition, Avante Textil decided to look for a PLM solution to help them stay ahead of the market by bringing quality products to stores faster. Centric’s knowledge of the fashion industry and powerful software made the difference.

“In our globalized, competitive market, time is of the essence. In addition to being extremely competitive, our industry is becoming more and more international and comprises several different channels of distribution. We needed to find the best balance between quality and price. We selected Centric 8 PLM to improve responsiveness and deliver our products to market on time,” explains Hector Ramirez, Marketing Director, Avante Textil.

Avante Textil will use Centric to streamline and speed-up product development. “Centric 8 PLM is a comprehensive tool which will allow us to better manage our process from design to merchandising thanks to more transparent, easily accessible and unique, shared data,” adds Ramirez.

Centric 8 will provide Avante Textil with a single version of actionable truth, which will allow the company to eliminate non-value added activities and focus on creating and developing quality products quickly. “Centric will help us minimize errors while also avoiding redoing everything from scratch. With Centric 8, we will save time spent in product development.”
