Apparel One Implements Centric PLM to Streamline Product Development

Centric Software has announced that PT. Apparel One Indonesia has successfully deployed Centric PLM™ to support its apparel product development operations. Centric Software provides integrated enterprise solutions designed to manage product lifecycles from concept to commercialization across multiple industries, including fashion, retail, and consumer goods.

Established in 2011, Apparel One operates from Semarang, Central Java, and is part of the Binabusana Internusa Group. The company manages 120 production lines and employs over 8,000 workers. It manufactures apparel for global brands such as Adidas, Puma, Jako and Napapijri. Its operations cover the full production cycle, including pre-production, quality control, and logistics, with distribution through retail, wholesale, and e-commerce channels.

As the company expands, Apparel One aims to improve collaboration, visibility, and speed by using a centralized platform for product development. “Standardizing workflows and working from trusted product data helps our teams move faster while staying focused on quality and innovation as we grow,” says Daniel Tirta Kristiadi, CEO at Apparel One.

The company evaluated solutions based on its need to support fast development cycles, reduce dependence on manual tools, and unify workflows. “We require a system that is flexible and robust enough to handle frequent changes, approvals, track historical data and version control with confidence,” recalls Kristiadi at Apparel One.

“Centric PLM features the right mix of configurability and control. The interface is intuitive and the system architecture aligns with how we’ve aimed to implement workflows, especially under tight timelines.”

The implementation was carried out in phases aligned with manufacturing processes, with a focus on user adoption and training. “Centric’s implementation team stayed closely involved and spent time making sure our teams were properly trained,” says Kristiadi at Apparel One. “That made it easier for our teams to get comfortable quickly and use the system in a way that fits how we work.”

With Centric PLM, Apparel One expects improved access to product data and reporting. “Centric PLM will standardize how we build and manage Bill of Materials (BOMs), track costing and version changes, as well as centralize our data across departments,” reflects Kristiadi at Apparel One. “The system gives us that structure we need today while still allowing room for our business to grow.”

The company anticipates improved coordination and efficiency across teams as it continues to scale its operations using the platform.

“Indonesia plays a vital role in the global apparel supply chain and Apparel One is a standout example of the region’s manufacturing strength,” says Fabrice Canonge, CEO of Centric Software. “Their focus on innovation, precision and scale aligns perfectly with Centric PLM’s capabilities. We’re extremely pleased that they chose to partner with us on their next chapter as they continue raising the bar for the industry.”
