CAMPBELL, Calif., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Gymshark.
Formed in 2012 in a garage in Birmingham, Gymshark has developed from a small screen-printing operation to one of the fastest-growing, most recognizable fitness brands. It specializes in functional training apparel, designing innovative performance technologies and building empowered conditioning communities. Gymshark sells direct to customers via 15 international online stores, has over 4 million customers in more than 180 countries and reaches an online audience of over 12.5M.
Prior to PLM, the Gymshark teams were working within outdated systems that didn't support the businesses' exponential growth, and employees were growing frustrated with lengthy, manual and error-ridden processes. Gymshark knew it was time to introduce a modern digital solution that could help them bring their A-Game.
"Before Centric PLM, we were working in the old-fashioned way, using a million different Excel documents," says Justine McCarthy, Development Director at Gymshark. "Our teams were growing rapidly, so it was getting harder and harder to maintain consistency and know exactly where the latest version of information was."
In January 2020, Gymshark made the strategic decision to implement Centric Software's market-leading PLM. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all training, testing and implementation of the initial phase was completed with teams working from home, and now, with PLM, there's no limit to what they can achieve when working remotely.
"In this early stage, we are seeing huge benefits in our Materials process, with an estimated 30% increase in productivity," shares McCarthy. "Centric PLM has opened our eyes as to how to be a leaner, smarter business."
Gymshark is now benefitting from one single source of truth, seamless admin and communication between teams, greatly reduced human error, enthusiastic adoption and increased productivity.
