Product Deleopment Manager Apparel & Fashion ### "Product Development Manager" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 July 16, 2025 The team was great to work with. Very understanding and knowledgable. When you do need things updated i will the process was faster and didnt take as much time. Pros I like that you can view all your product with costing and margins in one place. The building of the boms and shapes is veruy beneficially for housing historical data and making blocks. Cons I dont like that once you go live anything you need unlocked or editable cost extra. Alot of times you dont realize your missing something until you use it on a day to day basis. Switched from [WFX PLM](https://www.capterra.com/p/42449/WFX-PLM/) WFX did not house the information like we wanted. Did show thw cost in one place. There was no easy way to extract data.

Centric is used by a lot of company as this is a great tool. There still room for improvement but overall the performance of the system is good. Pros Centric is a very effective tool in our company. This serves as our source of truth for most of the attributes we use. Cons Whenever we have issue, it take some time for it to be solve which cause some delays on our day to day operation.

SENIOR TECHNICAL DESIGNER Apparel & Fashion ### "Middle of the road" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 January 21, 2022 We were working to find a way to use Centric as a tracking document, something that could auto fill the dates of when tasks within the development life cycle of the style were completed. It needed to update in real time and pull dates as they were happening. The closest we could get to that was to run various reports. But, it wasn't exactly what we needed it to do. Pros This software was OK, but not the best out there. It was easy enough to learn and to train junior team members to use. I especially liked to sales reps and found them to be very quick to respond and helpful when it came to questions and ways to use the system more efficiently. Cons It does the job, but is a little clunky. It seems slightly outdated. It also takes an extremely long time to PFD a tech pack.

It is nice to have one spot where all of our team can work out of to create product. Pros We like what we've been able to build the program in to. Their support is also good. Cons The program is pretty spendy. As customizations are added, the cost to maintain goes up.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 16, 2018 Pros Once learned, really easy to make small updates on your own without spending more money with the support team. Really inclusive to all types of products. Cons Can be tough to learn, there are so many places to get lost in the system. Places that need customized can be tough to get linked to all other fields needed if not realized up front.
