On 11th July, The Interline will chair a live online event, featuring expert insights from SWAROVSKI and Centric Software – along with a live walkthrough of key use cases and examples where combining creative tools with live enterprise data can create a unifying source of visual truth that provides a whole new perspective on product development.

Joining the live session – at 3PM CET, 2PM BST, and 9AM EDT – will be:

  • Alicia López, Global Process Manager & PLM Owner, SWAROVSKI
  • Dawid Oleskowski, Business Consultant, Centric Software
  • Ben Hanson, Editor-in-Chief, The Interline (Moderator)

Together, the speakers will explore how a world-renowned brand like SWAROVSKI was able to streamline and transform its product development processes by intelligently aligning creativity with technology, and by uniting previously-disconnected data and workflows into a new framework of real-time decision-making.

By making use of Centric Visual Boards – which aim to blend the flexibility of popular off-the-shelf, industry-agnostic tools like Miro, with the live data and operational power of enterprise systems like PLM, SWAROVSKI has successfully streamlined product presentations, line reviews, and board meetings.

This project can serve as a lighthouse for fashion professionals facing similar challenges, from designers feeling constrained in their ability to innovate, to merchandisers hungry for real-time information and visibility – and across the extended product development teams seeking ways to align across categories, calendars, and channels.

Join the session to discover:

  • A live demonstration of key use cases for visual boards that are grounded in live PLM data and collaboration.
  • The pivotal role of creative tools in aligning cross-functional teams across the wider product journey, bringing designers, merchandisers, and product development professionals together around a single source of visual truth.
  • The importance, and the real practicalities, of integrating the flexibility of creative tools with the data and operational power of enterprise systems like PLM.
  • How SWAROVSKI made use of Centric Visual Boards – which are designed to provide that source of truth and collaboration, from concept to shelf – to dramatically streamline product presentations, line reviews, and board meetings.
