INUIKII has successfully implemented Centric PLM™, a product lifecycle management solution from Centric Software, marking a key milestone in its digital transformation journey. Founded in 2013, INUIKII is a family-owned footwear brand known for combining Swiss design principles with sustainability and functionality. With an expanding portfolio and increasing SKU complexity, the company faced challenges in managing product data spread across multiple tools, including spreadsheets and emails. This fragmentation impacted transparency and collaboration across teams and suppliers.
To address these challenges, INUIKII adopted Centric PLM to establish a centralized system for managing product information across the entire lifecycle. The platform provides a single source of truth, enabling seamless collaboration between internal teams and an international network of suppliers and manufacturers.
Following a structured implementation approach, the project moved from initiation to go-live in just seven months. The phased rollout focused initially on core product data and seasonal workflows, allowing teams to adapt while maintaining business continuity. The company has now begun onboarding suppliers onto the platform, further enhancing collaboration and operational efficiency.
Alessio Maag, Co-Founder and Chief Production Officer at INUIKII, stated that Centric PLM stood out due to its strong industry expertise and flexibility. He noted that the smooth implementation, delivered on scope, time, and budget, has already started delivering tangible benefits, particularly through improved data visibility and streamlined workflows.
As INUIKII continues to scale, the company plans to expand its use of the platform to additional product categories, strengthen sustainability tracking, and integrate other digital tools into a connected ecosystem. This approach aims to replace fragmented systems with a unified, data-driven framework that supports long-term growth.
Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software, said the successful deployment reflects the strength of the partnership and the value of modern PLM solutions in enabling brands to adapt to increasing complexity in product development. INUIKII operates in the premium segment, producing hundreds of SKUs annually, with a supply chain spanning Europe and Asia. By adopting Centric PLM, the brand is enhancing transparency, improving decision-making, and positioning itself for continued innovation and growth in the global footwear market.
The implementation underscores the growing importance of digital transformation in the fashion and footwear industry, as brands seek greater agility, efficiency, and collaboration in an increasingly competitive environment. Centric Software’s solutions are recognized for their fast deployment, high user engagement, and measurable business impact. Trusted by leading companies worldwide, Centric consistently ranks at the top of industry reports for innovation, customer satisfaction, and return on investment.
