Case Study: 4T2D centralizes product data and reduces spreadsheets with Centric PLM

4T2D reduces Excel files by 80% with Centric Software

Outdoor brand 4T2D faced challenges managing rapid growth, particularly with over 150 custom beanie SKUs annually. Their reliance on spreadsheets led to fragmented information and difficulty tracking complex product components across their vertically integrated operations. Seeking a better way to centralize data and improve visibility, they turned to vendor Centric Software and implemented Centric PLM™.

The solution from Centric Software centralized all product data, including BOMs, specifications, and version tracking, into a single digital hub. This eliminated approximately 80% of the Excel files previously used, created a communal source of truth for design and manufacturing teams, and enabled cleaner technical handoffs. The implementation provided a scalable foundation for 4T2D's continued growth and American manufacturing operations.
