| Centric Software | Legacy | Centric Visual Boards | Collaboration | Collaboration | n/a | 2024 | 2024 | In 2024, BRAX implemented Centric Visual Boards as part of a broader PLM initiative to digitalize design and product development. The Centric Visual Boards application was deployed in a Collaboration context alongside Centric PLM to support early-stage ideation for BRAX's four annual collections and to improve supply chain transparency for EU sustainability compliance. The deployment combined Centric PLM and the Centric Visual Assortment Board, a member of the Centric Visual Boards family, to provide visual-first assortment planning, collaborative decision-making, and native bidirectional product data flow between boards and PLM. Functional capabilities implemented include visual assortment curation, digitalized sampling workflows, and centralized product data management to reduce manual workloads during concept to sample phases. The solution was provisioned as a cloud-based platform and specified integration points include native data exchange between Centric Visual Assortment Board and Centric PLM, and planned plug-ins for 3D solutions as well as connections to BRAX's existing enterprise systems. Operational scope targets creative teams, product development, sourcing and Digitalization and IT at BRAX headquarters in Herford, Germany, with direct implications for wholesale assortment planning and partner retail operations. Governance and rollout are framed as the foundation of BRAX's digitalization roadmap under Digitalization and IT leadership, shifting early-stage design decisions onto collaborative boards to enable earlier feedback loops. Explicit outcomes stated by BRAX include digitalizing sampling which reduces pre-production costs, meeting EU transparency requirements, improving cross functional collaboration, accelerating collection to market timelines, and providing a platform for future AI and business intelligence investments. | |

| Pixelboxx | Legacy | Pixelboxx DAM | Digital Asset Management | Content Management | n/a | 2019 | 2020 | In 2019, Brax implemented Pixelboxx DAM. The deployment used Pixelboxx DAM in the Digital Asset Management category to centralize product imagery and marketing assets for a German retail business operating domestically and internationally. The implementation combined Pixelboxx DAM with Pixelbridge as a Single Source of Truth, configuring core Digital Asset Management capabilities including metadata management, automated tagging, rendition generation for product image scaling, and workflow orchestration to streamline image production. Automated image transfers and multichannel distribution workflows were configured to support marketing, ecommerce, and marketplace channels, reducing manual handoffs in asset provisioning. Pixelboxx DAM was integrated to Brax ERP, PIM, and 3D store planning systems to synchronize product master data, asset metadata, and scaled image renditions across commerce and retail planning systems. Operational coverage extended across marketing and ecommerce functions, supporting online storefronts, retail operations and third party marketplaces in Germany and international markets. Governance was centralized around Pixelbridge as the authoritative asset repository, standardizing metadata schemas, access controls, and approval workflows to enforce asset ownership and reuse policies. Process changes emphasized automated tagging and transfer rules, aligning photography, product management and marketing teams to a single asset lifecycle and reducing ad hoc asset requests. The implementation automated tagging and image transfers, streamlined image production workflows, and improved time to market and productivity for online, retail and marketplace channels. |
