BOSTON, MA, Feb 13, 2026 – PTC announced that SPG Company has selected its FlexPLM retail product lifecycle management (PLM) solution to modernize product lifecycle operations. SPG will replace its legacy PLM system with the cloud-based FlexPLM platform. The shift supports faster development cycles and consistent product data across teams.
SPG Company manages licensed apparel and consumer product programs from early design through nationwide retail distribution. It works with manufacturers and product companies across its portfolio. As its customer base expanded, SPG required a enterprise-grade PLM system to support its growing licensed product operations.
As its legacy PLM platform became customized, SPG faced system constraints that affected daily operations. The company reported slow system response, inconsistent data, and workflow delays across downstream teams. In response, SPG transitioned to FlexPLM to improve data accuracy, strengthen cross-functional collaboration, and reduce product development delays.
“At SPG, we needed a PLM solution that could truly support our designers and product developers, enabling them to work faster, more accurately, and with greater efficiency,” said Joe Boud, chief operating officer at SPG Company. “FlexPLM not only delivers the performance and functionality we were missing, but also gives us a trusted partner in PTC, one we know will help us scale and grow our business.”
“SPG knew they needed a PLM platform that could better support how their teams work day to day,” said Kyle Marden, general manager of PTC’s retail business unit. “Their decision to invest in FlexPLM reflects our ability to meet the needs of fast-moving, dynamic product organizations, and we’re proud to work with SPG as they enter the next phase of their operations.”
FlexPLM supports PTC’s Intelligent Product Lifecycle strategy by helping companies establish a centralized product data foundation. Extending product data across the enterprise enables AI-driven transformation efforts. Use of product lifecycle management data can improve product quality, manage complexity, support regulatory compliance, and shorten time to market.
