CAMPBELL, CA, Jan 19, 2023 – THEILMA, a leading South Korean fashion brand, has selected Centric Software for its product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Finding inspiration from all, South Korean fashion brand THEILMA presents well-curated collections that transcend trends and personal tastes. Its first store opened in August 2017 and carried THEILMA name meaning “air” and “water” in Finnish. Since then, the brand has grown into having its own 18 offline stores—some of which are stand-alone boutiques while the others are within department stores. The brand also has a steady presence and following through its online store.
Mindful about the future and global expansion, its chief executive officer, Helen Jung thought to create a new brand philosophy that would see sustainable growth for the next 50 years and transcend time limits while maintaining Nordic values and slow living. She deemed that in order to achieve global expansion, it’s more critical to focus on brand value setting and product merchandising than to simply be fixated on retail sales. For that reason, Jung took the leap forward by investing in and initiating digital transformation in THEILMA community.
“Overproduction itself is environmental destruction. When making clothes, I always wonder how many customers would actually want this. That’s why accurate data is needed about the way clothes are made. Most importantly, I have always felt that a company needs the best talent before it can initiate sustainable growth. It was determined that PLM could help anyone in the team double or even triple their potential,” shares Jung.
With the adoption of Centric PLM as their chosen tool for long-term growth, THEILMA is expected to increase productivity and performance by improving efficiency, organizational trust, stability and communication. They are also now well on their way to achieving work-life balance and are further equipped for global expansion and sustainable growth in the decades to come.
Chris Groves, president and CEO of Centric Software says, “We are delighted to have THEILMA onboard as one of our Centric PLM customers. We are always in the business of supporting our clients in reaching their business goals and in this case, the big picture is sustainable growth. I’m confident that through our innovative solutions, we are going to help them achieve that.”
