For YNAP, selecting a PLM solution was about a single, actionable version of the truth for production. "We needed a holistic view of production. We hoped that having the right PLM would help us to manage the entire lifecycle of a product from prototype to production, check the gap between the initial budget we have for each brand and the real cost of goods ordered, track the cost of samples, and communicate with suppliers using one standard format and platform," explained Marco Gallo, Product Developer at YNAP. "We felt that Centric Software provided the best tool for our specific requirements."
