Centric Software, a leading product lifecycle management (PLM) solution for fashion, retail, luxury, footwear, outdoor and consumer goods companies, will debut its new Field Testing mobile app on iOS, designed to help apparel, footwear and outdoor companies track both the usage and performance of prototypes and samples of clothing, footwear and hard goods.
The app works with Centric’s PLM platform or can be used as a stand-alone solution.
“Tracking the location and availability of prototypes, and ultimately wear tester performance feedback, is critically important yet typically accomplished with a mishmash of methods,” said Humberto Roa, VP of innovation, Centric Software. “Centric’s new Field Testing app provides an innovative solution for product performance feedback.”
“Product innovation and performance are critical success drivers for companies,” Chris Groves, Centric CEO and president said. “Centric’s new Field Testing App is a unique example of how capturing data live, in the moment, is not only incredibly valuable but also a natural way of working. This app will help reduce costs while also improving product innovation and performance; which are ultimately keystones of great brands.”
Groves concluded, “Our goal is to create powerful new ways of working to enable brands, retailers and manufacturers to become closer to their customers, create better products and grow.”
