Kiğılı Teams Up with Centric Software to Boost Retail and Digital Growth

With over 180 stores in Türkiye and more than 50 points of sale in 15 countries, Kiğılı caters to a diverse customer base across multiple sales channels, including physical stores, e-commerce, marketplaces, and wholesale.

Centric Softwareannounce that Kiğılı, a leading Turkish menswear brand and retailer, has selected Centric Planning to digitalise retail planning and accelerate strategic growth. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, buy, make, price, allocate, sell and replenish products such as fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home and related goods like cosmetics and personal care as well as multi-category retail to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

Founded in 1938, Kiğılı has built a legacy in the menswear retail sector offering contemporary yet timeless collections that blend comfort and style. With over 180 stores in Türkiye and more than 50 points of sale in 15 countries, Kiğılı caters to a diverse customer base across multiple sales channels, including physical stores, e-commerce, marketplaces, and wholesale. Seeking to enhance its merchandise planning and operational efficiency, Kiğılı embarked on a digital transformation journey, selecting Centric Planning as a key driver.

Previously relying on Excel-based solutions and in-house tools for tasks like Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) rationalization and store segmentation, the company found it challenging to manage the overall process in an integrated manner. Now with Centric Planning, Kiğılı can replace outdated spreadsheets with a powerful, AI-driven planning platform that will enable accurate allocation, store planning, and supply planning to support store and regional growth.

“This project is at the center of our digital transformation strategy,” says Hüseyin Deveci, Supply Chain Director at Kiğılı. “Planning is the cornerstone of our business operations, and with Centric Planning, we are setting a solid foundation for future growth.”

“With Centric Planning, we aim to align pre-season planning with in-season execution, ensuring we make the right purchasing decisions, position products at the right sales points at the right time, and replenish efficiently when needed,” continuesDeveci. “This integration will allow us to work more strategically and dynamically in response to market changes.”

Following an extensive evaluation of multiple planning solutions, Kiğılı selected Centric Planning for its ability to provide an integrated, end-to-end merchandise planning approach tailored for fashion retail.

“We investigated many solutions—over 15 different systems—and Centric Planning stood out by offering the most effective solutions tailored to our processes,” saysDeveci. “What impressed us most was how it connects all planning processes into a flexible and unified structure. Previously, managing different planning stages independently required significant manual effort. With Centric Planning, all these phases will now be streamlined, allowing our teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than administrative tasks.”

“With Centric Planning, Kiğılı will benefit from an intelligent, unified solution that streamlines planning from top to bottom,” says Fabrice Canonge, President of Centric Software. “We are proud to partner with Kiğılı on their transformation as they transition into a new era of retail success.”
