Apparel design studio chooses Centric PLM to streamline workflows and provide a single source of truth

CAMPBELL, Calif., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — https://www..centricsoftware.com/l/35842/2024-09-27/wd8zxh [Centric Software __title__ Centric Software]®, the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market leader, is pleased to announce that Tai Apparel, a full-service apparel design studio, has selected Centric PLMTM to speed time to market. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, price and sell products such as fashion, apparel, home décor, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, consumer electronics, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

During the demos and the vetting process, Centric’s knowledge of the product was one differentiator vs. the other vendors.

Tai Apparel is a Minneapolis-based, full-service apparel design studio specializing in juniors, women’s, men’s, children’s and pet products. Their supply chain is global, manufacturing for many categories including mass, mid-tier, specialty and department stores including retailers such as Target, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Walmart, Carter’s, PetSmart and T.J.Maxx.

Linda Choi, VP of Operations says, “Our company grew organically, with a small team based in Minneapolis to an international company with virtual team members all over the US, and offices in Guatemala and China.”

Choi describes the circumstances that led to the search for PLM. “In the beginning, multiple spreadsheets and documents were used to house product information. As the team expanded, we needed help to organize and move into a digital space. There was too much duplication of work, misinformation or multiple meetings to check and double-check the work.” Tai is a design house that has a deep partnership with factories. Choi explains, “We’re trying to cut down our timelines to be as quick as possible so we can go to these big retailers and offer them the latest and greatest fashion with a shorter lead time. A PLM tool was the next stepping-stone to the continued growth of Tai Apparel.”

Finding the right PLM platform and partner was not an easy task. Choi says, “When I learned about Centric’s small-to-medium business SaaS option, that was a total game changer. There’s a shorter implementation time with a smaller group of cross functional team members where it really counts—for us, we pulled from the design, the development and technical design teams. The SaaS option gives us the opportunity to get Centric PLM in now but also to move up to Centric for larger enterprises when we’re ready. That was one of the biggest selling points.”

Choi remarks, “We are looking forward to better speed-to-market and having all product information in one place. Everybody will be looking at the same up-to-date information. We expect improved efficiency, data accuracy and will definitely benefit from shared knowledge.”

PLM will also assist with sustainability. Says Choi, “We’re working on a science-based initiative to commit to reduce greenhouse emissions by a certain amount. Our partners are committed. We require tools like Centric PLM to be able to say, ‘How much cotton do I use? What percentage is polyester or recycled polyester? Am I using a woven label instead of a heat seal label?’ You need that information. PLM is critical to pulling in that data easily.”

“During the demos and the vetting process, Centric’s knowledge of the product was one differentiator vs. the other vendors,” says Choi. “I really felt like whoever we were interfacing with on the Centric side, had a deep understanding of the product. And if, let’s say, we potentially had some question, there is always a Centric person to help us to share that information to whomever needs it internally. I feel like it is a good partnership. Centric is really easy to work with.”

CEO of Centric Software, Chris Groves says, “Tai Apparel is a great example of a business accelerating their growth with Centric PLM. Having a single source of truth for Tai’s global teams is sure to streamline their workflows and provide the tools to continue to provide excellent service to their impressive roster of customers.”

ICEYE expands its Earth Observation capabilities with launch of two SAR satellites for mid-inclination orbit on the Bandwagon-2 mission with SpaceX

Mid-inclination orbit provides more SAR-imaging opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe for ICEYE customers.

HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICEYE, the global leader in SAR satellite operations for Earth Observation and persistent monitoring, announced today that it has launched two new satellites to its constellation of SAR satellites. Both satellites expand the availability of ICEYE’s latest imaging technology to deliver additional 25 cm imaging capacity. The satellites were integrated via Exolaunch and launched as part of the Bandwagon-2 rideshare mission with SpaceX from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, USA. Both satellites have established communication, and early routine operations are underway. With today’s launch, ICEYE has successfully launched 40 satellites into orbit since 2018, with nine satellites launched in 2024 alone.

The new SAR satellites were launched into mid-inclination orbits; compared to a polar orbit, these mid-inclination orbits provide more than twice the collection opportunities at middle latitudes of the globe. ICEYE customers have many areas of interest in these middle latitudes (+/- 45 degrees), and these customers will benefit from increased persistence over these regions. Customers with imaging interests outside these middle latitudes will continue to benefit from the frequent revisit enabled by ICEYE’s dozens of satellites in polar orbits. ICEYE’s unique mix of mid-inclination and polar orbits provides its customers with deep revisit capabilities for targets all around the globe. The new satellites will serve ICEYE’s commercial missions as part of the world’s largest SAR satellite constellation owned and operated by ICEYE.

Rafal Modrzewski, CEO and Co-founder of ICEYE said: “This launch marks another significant milestone in ICEYE’s ability to provide our customers with a rich diversity of collection opportunities. We bolster our industry-leading SAR constellation and expand our customers’ collection opportunities in the areas most important to them.”

Today’s launch is another step forward in ICEYE’s steady drumbeat of innovative breakthroughs in Earth Observation. This year alone, ICEYE has, for example, introduced Dwell Precise, a new 25 cm imaging mode that offers its customers the highest-fidelity 25cm imaging capability, and adds advanced capability to ICEYE’s line of Dwell products; launched an API that allows customers to directly task its SAR satellite constellation; and launched ICEYE Ocean Vision to provide actionable intelligence for maritime domain awareness.

About ICEYE

ICEYE delivers unparalleled persistent monitoring capabilities to detect and respond to changes in any location on Earth, faster and more accurately than ever before.

Owning the world’s largest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite constellation, ICEYE provides objective, near real-time insights, ensuring that customers have unmatched access to actionable high-quality data, day or night, even in challenging environmental conditions. As a trusted partner to governments and commercial industries, ICEYE delivers intelligence in sectors such as insurance, natural catastrophe response and recovery, security, maritime monitoring, and finance, enabling decision-making that contributes to community resilience and sustainable development.

ICEYE operates internationally with offices in Finland, Poland, Spain, the UK, Australia, Japan, UAE, Greece, and the US.  We have more than 700 employees, inspired by the shared vision of improving life on Earth by becoming the global source of truth in Earth Observation.
