CAMPBELL, Calif., September 8, 2026 – Boot Barn, the nation's leading western and workwear retailer, has successfully gone live with Centric PLM™, establishing a digital foundation that strengthens collaboration, streamlines product development and drives the company's continued growth. Centric Software® provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source, comply, buy, make, allocate, assort and sell fashion, luxury, footwear, outdoor, home, cosmetics & personal care products as well as multi-category retail, to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Irvine, California, Boot Barn continues to expand its Exclusive Brands portfolio while growing its nationwide retail footprint. To sustain this momentum, the company selected a scalable product lifecycle management (PLM) solution to improve internal and external vendor visibility and establish a single source of truth for product information.
Working with Centric Software, Boot Barn completed an implementation delivered on time, within scope and on budget. Today, Centric PLM centralizes product data and documentation, streamlines workflows and creates greater visibility across design, merchandising, technical design, sourcing and cross-functional teams.
As Boot Barn continues to grow its Exclusive Brands portfolio and expand into new product categories, Centric PLM enables faster, more informed decision-making while accelerating product development and improving operational efficiency. The platform also centralizes certification and compliance documentation, making critical product information readily accessible throughout the product lifecycle.
