Case Study: Guess Europe Sagl achieves higher margins and better inventory planning with Centric Software's Centric Planning

Guess Emerges Out of the Pandemic Stronger with Centric Planning

Guess Europe Sagl, the global apparel and accessories brand, was facing major planning challenges as it managed thousands of SKUs across retail, wholesale, and e-commerce using disconnected Excel sheets. With long lead times, complex country-specific demand, and pandemic-driven disruptions, the company needed a better way to align inventory, assortment, and merchandising decisions.

Centric Software implemented Centric Planning to centralize planning, improve visibility, and support omnichannel decision-making. The results were strong: Guess cut planning time from one month to one week, reduced manual workload, improved inventory movement across channels, and increased operating margin from 5.6% to 12%, helped by lower promotional activity and better inventory control.
