CAMPBELL, Calif., June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Centric Software is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Marine Layer.

Marine Layer was founded in 2009 by two friends, Mike Natenshon and Adam Lynch. The San Francisco-based company began by making just one product: a super-soft shirt, made from a recycled beechwood fiber and cotton mix.

Marine Layer now produces a large range of clothing and accessories for men, women and children, from button-down shirts to bathing suits. MicroModal, the beechwood fiber mix used in over 25 custom fabrics developed by Marine Layer, is eco-friendly and sustainable.

To support Marine Layer's expansion, the company decided to invest in a PLM solution to manage data and support operations from product design and development to retail.

"We did a bunch of demos, but we felt that Centric was the best fit," says Megan Eddings, Director of Design & Product Development at Marine Layer. "The possibility of viewing data from different angles was our favorite thing from the beginning, and still is today. You can give each team customized views, depending on their specific needs, and not waste time searching through heaps of other data."

"Having Centric in place saves everyone about 10-15 percent of their time on a day to day basis, mainly because people don't have to spend time searching for the right answers, asking questions and re-confirming whether information is up to date," explains Eddings. "Centric SMB has changed the way we operate. It's like having a whole other person on each team, every single day. It's hard to imagine life without Centric now."
