Overhaul of user rights for Longchamp
Presentation 👋
A French luxury leather goods house founded in 1948, Longchamp is renowned for its expertise in leather goods.
The company was a pioneer in many respects, notably 15 years ago, when it became one of the first luxury goods companies to adopt a PLM system, and even became a Centric customer in France.
As part of its migration to version 7.1, the Longchamp company called on Fit Retail to overhaul access rights and support business functions in their digital transformation by integrating them into the solution as effectively as possible. The partnership has now been running for over 3 years.
