Case Study: Ackermans achieves faster, more accurate retail operations with Centric Software's Centric PLM

Ackermans Enhances Speed and Accuracy with Centric PLM™

Ackermans, the South African value retailer, struggled to manage global buying, merchandising, and sourcing using paper, email, and spreadsheets, which caused errors, poor visibility, and slow decision-making. The company turned to Centric Software and Centric PLM to centralize information and streamline its complex processes.

Centric Software implemented Centric PLM with a highly configurable, agile approach that fit Ackermans’ evolving needs and was rolled out across all divisions. The results included real-time access to accurate data, margin roll-ups that once took two to three weeks now available immediately, foreign-exchange cost updates automated live, and tender creation time reduced from two days to two hours.
