POC adopts Product Lifestyle Management solution

24/08/2016
Swedish cycling clothing and equipment brand POC has turned to Centric Software for its Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. It hopes will help it streamline its operations and increase its flexibility at a time when the brand is growing rapidly.

“I worked with other PLM systems in the past and I am impressed with Centric's solution which is specifically designed to answer apparel market needs based on industry best practices,” said Monica Lindstrom, senior manager for apparel at POC, of the decision.

POC specialises in protective clothing for cycling and gravity sports. It was founded in 2005 and initially focused on the competitive skiing market. Its most notable success came at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, when US racer Julie Mancuso won a gold medal in the giant slalom wearing a helmet and goggles bearing the POC name.
