Centric Planning Provides the ‘Missing Piece’ for Style Union

Leave a comment


Style Union implemented Centric PLM™ immediately upon launching the brand, aiming to start off with an industry-leading solution and a single version of truth for everything product-related. With Centric PLM in place, Style Union established a strong foundation for growth. However, with continuous drops of 150+ new products per week to a rapidly expanding number of stores, assortment planning entered the frame as the next opportunity for optimization and digitalization.

“We had foreseen most of the tech stack that we would need and implemented solutions from the start, but decided to wait a while to understand our planning process,” says Ekta Biyani, Co-founder of Style Union. “As we scale up, we need a solution to standardize and rationalize planning. Centric Planning was the missing piece. It fit perfectly in terms of what we wanted to adopt as a process.”

Centric Planning will replace at least a dozen spreadsheets currently used to manage assortment planning and merchandise financial planning, and will be used by merchandisers, buyers and regional operations managers.

“We will be able to consolidate and organize planning activities and improve visibility across teams,” explains Alok Dharadhar, Head of Planning at Style Union. “We are expecting to reduce buying and planning teams’ time spent compiling plans by about 12-15%. This is on top of the benefits we are already experiencing from Centric PLM, such as a reduction in manual data entry and errors, standardized color, material and product libraries, vendor collaboration and integration with ERP.”

“We are pleased to expand our partnership with Centric Software to streamline our product development, buying and planning processes. We look forward to driving efficiency into our workflows through visibility across all functions,” says Biyani.

“We are delighted that Style Union has given Centric a further vote of confidence with the adoption of Centric Planning, just a year after implementing Centric PLM,” says Chris Groves, CEO of Centric Software. “Style Union is expanding at an astonishing rate, and we are looking forward to working closely with their team to make their planning process as streamlined as possible.”

Duluth Trading Co. Boosts Product Development Efficiency with Centric PLM

Leave a comment


Brigid Gibson, Product Continuity Manager at Duluth Trading Company and the PLM manager for the company, talks about how they had multiple versions of files, sketches, tech packs which inevitably led to confusion and errors. “We were developing product, but it wasn’t very efficient for the growth that we were trying to build with Duluth.”

When Gibson began with the company, she found that people were working outside the system. Of the design team, Gibson says, “They had their own little charts of all the styles that they were developing for a season.” She dug down to find out the reasons for each of the spreadsheets people were using and tackled them one by one. Gibson was able to easily configure the system herself to reflect the specific needs of individual users, getting rid of spreadsheets and driving efficiency into the process.

The company has grown in volume and new categories over the years. Says Gibson, “We’re able to scale faster than the amount of people because one designer and one tech designer can develop more styles per season because of the improvements that PLM has given us.”

Find out how else Centric PLM has streamlined workflows, including the way vendors work with Duluth, faster time-to-market and what about Centric PLM garners executive support.

Leave a comment


Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues its strategic expansion in Tokyo with the addition of Akihiro Wani, a well-known industry leader on financial markets regulation, who joins as senior counsel from Morrison & Foerster.

TOKYO, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP continues its strategic expansion in Tokyo with the addition of Akihiro Wani, a well-known industry leader on financial markets regulation, who joins as senior counsel from Morrison & Foerster.

He has more than 30 years of experience representing Japanese as well as international clients on financial regulatory matters and transactions involving new financial instruments.

“At a time when the Japanese business climate is so exciting and stable, and so intertwined with our many other global locations and practices, I am excited to welcome a senior and widely respected industry leader such as Akihiro as another new member of our longstanding Tokyo office. His capital markets experience and knowledge of the regulatory framework governing financial instruments in Japan are uniquely important assets, strengthening our regulatory capabilities for client transactions and otherwise while allowing him to train and mentor younger lawyers,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, the firm’s Executive Chairman.

“The addition of Akihiro Wani is a significant milestone for our Tokyo office. He is the fourth addition in 12 months. But more importantly, Wani’s deep understanding of how derivatives are regulated can assist clients such as Japanese banks and other financial institutions as well as benefit foreign financial entities operating in Japan,” said Koji Ishikawa, managing shareholder of the Tokyo office, and Koichiro Ohashi, co-chair of the Japan Practice. “During his lengthy career, he has managed innovative transactions such as advising on the first public offering of credit-linked securities in Japan and is also equally adept representing clients on corporate and cross-border matters.”

In addition to Wani, the Tokyo office has added three attorneys: Corporate Shareholder Hiroshi Miura, and two Real Estate Practice lawyers, Shareholder Yuko Ino and Of Counsel Koh Ueda.

Wani earned an LL.B from The University of Tokyo in 1975 and an LL.M in 1977 and was awarded an LL.M from Columbia University School of Law in 1982. He is admitted to practice law in New York and Japan. He has served as a professor of law at Tokyo’s Sophia Law School since 2004.

“Greenberg Traurig provides me with an opportunity to advise clients first-hand who need guidance with Japanese financial regulations, which I have always seen as an important aspect of my work as an attorney,” Wani said. He added that he was attracted to the firm because of its long history as well as its entrepreneurial and collaborative culture. “I am also looking forward to sharing my knowledge of the financial markets with younger attorneys and associates at the firm so they can benefit from my experience.”

Front Desk Supply Sees Spike in Hotel Supply Sales through e-Commerce Site as the Hospitality Industry Faces Nationwide Staffing Shortages

Leave a comment


San Diego-based hotel supplier observes that U.S. hotels are seeking fast solutions as they head into the busy holiday travel season, burdened with the added difficulty of a labor shortage

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Front Desk Supply, a leading hotel and hospitality supplier based in San Diego, CA, reports a surprising increase in orders for essential supplies like hotel key cards, key card holders, signs, notepads, pens, and identification badges coming through their commerce site, https://shop.frontdesksupply.com which offers many generic products, as well as hotelsupplyhq.com which shows the full breadth of the Front Desk Supply Product line. Ready-made supplies offer easy ordering with ongoing, nationwide staffing shortages in the hospitality industry and can be used while waiting for popular custom supplies

“The ordering process for many hotel managers is becoming very refined. They are laser-focused on choosing which supplies are ‘must-enhance’ and ‘must-customize’ and which can be ready-made,” says Front Desk Supply Director of Commercial Operations Mark Zisek. “This determination helps them use their budget more wisely and make their supply reorders more streamlined, especially for goods they can order with a few clicks.”

Many of the staffing issues in the hotel industry started years ago during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when 70% of hospitality jobs were cut or placed on extended leave. This has decreased the time front desk managers have to order supplies between audits and interactions with guests.

“For some of the lower-priority supplies, Hotel managers are looking to get what they need and to have it delivered fast so they can move on to the next thing,” says Zisek.

According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association, 87% of surveyed U.S. hotels are still facing staffing issues.

“I recently read a story out of Nashville where hotel guests ran their hotel when the staff failed to show up for work,” comments Zisek, referencing a viral incident in which three guests were forced to step in and help other hotel guests due to staffing shortages. “Obviously, we would like guests to remain just that — as guests. But this situation demonstrates the impact many hotels are feeling.”

“Our e-commerce sites are made for times like these, where hotel managers can get beautiful, high-quality supplies they need quickly,” continues Zisek. “For the special supplies that require purposeful design and customization, they can continue to meet one-on-one with our team to guide them toward developing the perfect hotel products.”

To support hoteliers and managers during the staffing shortages as they enter a busy holiday travel season, Front Desk Supply is offering a $50 discount on all orders on hotelsupplyhq.com over $400 for the month of October.

Front Desk Supply is an industry leader in hospitality supplies, offering a wide variety of items, including key cards, key card holders, valet tags, hotel signs and concierge tags.

About Front Desk Supply

Front Desk Supply has over 50 years of Sales, Marketing and Advertising, and Operations experience, along with the wealth of knowledge that comes from producing millions of products for thousands of hotels in the hospitality industry.

Their focus on building customer relationships is ingrained in all employees. Putting the customer first and offering a unique perspective to any situation is a hallmark of Front Desk Supply. Front Desk Supply excels in providing multiple complementary products – it makes for a one-stop shopping experience for customers and ensures messaging flows consistently across products. They expertly offer recommendations that make good business sense.
