With over 77 years of establishment, Jaspal Group is planning an exciting expansion in Southeast Asia that requires sustainable scaling and greater efficiency. Mr. Daniel Yeung, Chief Technology Officer of Jaspal Group explains why they require the market-leading system to address these challenges, “To enable growth, we need to get the fundamentals right, such as centralizing our product data and enhancing our automation and collaboration tools. This will give us a competitive advantage to bring products to market faster in this economic climate.”
As part of their relentless effort to embrace new technology, Jaspal Group made the decision to look for an all-encompassing digital solution that will truly streamline the entire product development process. “We recognized that implementing a sophisticated, industry-standard PLM solution would allow us to understand our products better, improve forecasting and make data-driven decisions,” comments Mr. Yeung.
After reviewing other PLM solutions, Jaspal Group chose Centric PLM for its advanced capabilities, built-in best practices and proven track record as the leading PLM for the fashion and apparel industry. “We chose Centric PLM because it is the recognized PLM leader in the fashion industry. Not only are we looking for the best software on the market, but we also plan to leverage Centric’s industry best practices to improve our processes. The solution fits our business requirements perfectly,” adds Mr. Yeung. “The Centric team has been fully engaged and knowledgeable throughout the process.”
Centric PLM will standardize all product-related data and processes for designers, merchandisers, buyers, sourcing and quality control teams, ensuring that everyone works from the same centralized and accurate data, minimizing errors and delays.
Jaspal Group anticipates significant benefits from implementing Centric PLM, particularly in three key areas. “We expect Centric PLM to shorten time-to-market, reduce costs and improve product quality,” says Mr. Yeung. “In the long term, we are confident that Centric PLM will be invaluable in driving product innovation and growth. We look forward to working with Centric to roll out Centric PLM and leverage its benefits this year.”
“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Jaspal Group to support their goals of greater efficiency and faster time to market,” says Fabrice Canonge, President at Centric Software. “Centric PLM is designed to meet the unique needs of the fashion and retail industry, and we look forward to watching Jaspal Group expand in Southeast Asia with our technology as their backbone.”
