According to Andrea Dini, owner and CEO of Paul & Shark, the company, known for combining technical fabrics with elegant and stylish details, will use Centric 8 PLM to help manage growth and international expansion.
“The advantages of PLM, and specifically, Centric PLM, are significant when it comes to speed, efficiency and full visibility across all areas of product development.
