“Entering styles in the system used to take the Snow team two weeks, and it now takes them a day and a half – almost 7x faster than the old way.”

Outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers are particularly consumer-driven. It’s not enough to simply offer desirable products. Consumers of outdoor lifestyle products demand authenticity in the products and experiences which match their particular way of living. Sustainability is particularly important for consumers who identify with an outdoors, nature-based lifestyle. Added to this is the rising demand for affordable, customized clothing, with a new breed of consumers seeking bespoke and personalized products. They know what they want and are not willing to compromise.
This all adds up to a superb business opportunity for outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers, but it’s one in which great product design, quality, fit and attention to detail is vital. Unfortunately it’s way too easy for outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers to lose focus on the product, especially when they’re drowning in a sea of data, sketches, samples, supplier communications and emails.
Centric PLM transforms product development for outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers, delivering visibility, accountability and transparency from initial design through development, manufacturing and into retail. This gives outdoor lifestyle brands and retailers the freedom to create the innovative, sustainable and personalized products that consumers want, at the level of quality and product margin required to meet strategic growth plans.
