HUMAN MADE Inc., the parent company of the renowned Japanese lifestyle brand HUMAN MADE, has successfully rolled out Centric PLM™ to enhance its product development process and support long-term revenue growth. The move reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and scaling operations in the dynamic world of fashion retail.

Launched in 2010 by designer and cultural icon NIGO, HUMAN MADE is best known for its philosophy—"The Future Is In The Past"—which blends nostalgic American casualwear with craftsmanship-driven design. Drawing from NIGO’s extensive vintage archives, the brand has created a distinct aesthetic that bridges workwear, military, outdoor, and sportswear influences.

In its search for a solution to manage growing complexities in product development and supply chain processes, HUMAN MADE Inc. selected Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform. The platform’s apparel-specific capabilities, intuitive interface, and global reputation for successful deployment made it the ideal fit.

“We are excited about the successful PLM rollout with HUMAN MADE Inc. and the impressive results they have achieved to date,” said Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “We look forward to a lasting partnership and supporting the brand’s continued success and global growth.”

Centric PLM is designed to help lifestyle brands plan, design, source, and sell products more efficiently—delivering not just operational streamlining, but also greater speed to market and improved cross-team collaboration. For HUMAN MADE, this digital transformation initiative signals a strategic step forward in navigating today’s competitive global fashion landscape.

As HUMAN MADE expands its presence and evolves its offerings, the PLM integration will play a key role in maintaining the brand's high standards of quality, creativity, and craftsmanship while enhancing efficiency and adaptability.
