Founded in 2002, Chicago-based ArcherGrey has established itself as an authority in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, helping companies adopt and integrate a robust and comprehensive approach to PLM. The company primarily works with PTC’s suite of software, Windchill and FlexPLM, with FlexPLM specializing in the apparel, footwear and consumer goods industries.

Kelly Price, the company’s Director of Business Development for FlexPLM, comes from a retail background, with more than 20 years of experience in product development and technical design at companies like Chico’s FAS, Abercrombie and Fitch and Target. “At Chico’s, I was involved with the selection and roll-out of a PLM solution,” she says. “We rolled it out to all three brands over 7.5 years. After that, I moved into consulting.”

Price explains that in addition to helping companies with PLM implementations with ArcherGrey, she chairs the Technical Committee for PTC’s FlexPLM where they work with current customers to gather feedback to improve their PLM experience and help to influence improvements in the software. “In terms of the software,” she says, “we implement the software and help clients with integrations, process improvements, road mapping and customization, as needed. We work very closely with many major retailers; in fact, we have worked with over 46% of all North American major retailers.”
