IMAX, a manufacturing division of iconic Italian fashion company Max Mara, has selected Centric Software PLM solution to increased efficiency which will reduce internal costs and time to market.
The company’s previous ERP was lacking visibility and there was a duplication of information across various systems and programs, creating inefficiencies and confusion. “The tools we had been using for many years were no longer up to date and were not sophisticated enough for our business processes. We had different systems all containing various product data which made it difficult for users to keep up. In some cases, the same data was being entered twice in different systems and occasionally data would be not be accessible to some users because it was associated with personal databases or accounts,” explains Giovanni Bisotti, IT Manager, Imax Srl.

We are very pleased to partner with them to help meet their cost-savings and time to market goals,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software.
